Shadowman #6 Covers

 

Shadowman #6 Cover A by Jon Davis-Hunt

Shadowman #6 rocks with the second part of the Deadside War arc. Well, a war needs armies, and who better to rally to Shadowman's aid than his old friend Punk Mambo? I love the windblown look Jon Davis-Hunt gives this cover. The way Shadowman's scythe doesn't quite form up before him, but solidifies closer to Punk Mambo's burning pentagram, makes interesting commentary on the importance of teamwork.

Shadowman #6 Cover B by Adam Gorham

Shadowman #6 continues to rock the horror homage covers. Offhand, I'm not sure what classic horror movie Adam Gorham is riffing here*, but I love the symmetry of the cloud of spirits and the angularity of Shadowman. Could you get a more dead-on shot of Shadowman, equally poised from left to right?

Adam's portrayal makes the spirits seem fluid, whereas Shadowman looks forged from metal: perhaps copper, with the way he's weathering. 

Shadowman #6 Pre-Order Cover by Pedro Andreo

Pedro Andreo's cover rocks with the energy of Shadowman #6. It also hints at some of the guest stars you'll find in the issue. I don't want to give too much away, but the ring in the lower right corner is significant. Flowing lines of power unite all these people: friends and foes alike. The Deadside War may not have reached its climax, but as this cover promises, Shadowman #6 delivers revelations and battles galore. 

Congratulations to Jon Davis-Hunt, Adam Gorham, and Pedro Andreo on these covers of haunting beauty!

*It appears Adam is riffing on the original poster art for the 1985 horror film "Fright Night." The movie, which has gone on to become a cult classic, spawned a 1988 sequel, a remake in 2011, and a sequel to that in 2013. Now Tom Holland, director of the original "Fright Night", plans to make a followup to his 1985 classic that ignores the 1988 sequel. Very cool homage, Adam Gorham!
