Garth Ennis Writes The Shadow. All Other News Is Cancelled.

[Rich Johnston]

Garth Ennis is writing a new The Shadow ongoing series for Dynamite for April this year, drawn by Holmes and Hornet artist Aaron Campbell, with covers by Alex Ross (above),?*Howard Chaykin, Jae Lee and John Cassaday.

Ennis is an appreciator of the series and the concept in its previous forms, tagging it as the only American character he's wanted to write but is yet to.

Here's the solicits... and the other covers.

In the first issue of the ONGOING SERIES, it's 1938 and The Shadow returns in a tale of blazing action and deadly intrigue, as a night of carnage on the New York waterfront plunges the mysterious vigilante into a conspiracy involving the fate of the world itself. As storm clouds gather across the globe, American Military Intelligence meets with a certain Lamont Cranston, determined to beat a host of spies and assassins to the greatest prize of all... but what that might be, only the Shadow knows. Be sure to get The Shadow #1 in April 2012!
