Garth Ennis to write The Shadow

[Colin YNWA]

Was going to put this in the other Garth Ennis thread but thought it deserved one of its own.

Now I'm trying to cut back but its announcements like this that just make that so damned hard to do. That's a pretty exciting combination there if you ask me. Looking forward to this one.

Now that is good news indeed, especially since The Boys is winding down - good to know there needn't be an Ennis-shaped hole in the old monthly comic reading material :-)

The Shadow is one of those characters that I like the idea of but the stories always seem disappointing.
I'll be interested to see what Ennis does with it - I'd be happy if it was a kind of '30's version of Punisher MAX.

I love the Shadow (especially the 80s series by Andy Helfer) so I hope to God Ennis doesn't turn it into a lot of nob gags and sex

Have the opposite opinion. Never really understood what makes him tick, but I have to admit the character has been incredibly lucky when it comes to comic book adaptations: O'neil/Kaluta, Robbins, Chaykin, Helfer/Sienkiewicz&Baker, Jones/Barreto, Kaluta/Gianni. All of those teams were compelling in their way.
