Shadowflame Trade Paperback Has John Byrne Cover



John Byrne Covers Shadowflame
 
Industry legend, John Byrne, is lending his artistic talents to the wraparound cover of the new Shadowflame trade paperback (Diamond Code: SEP10 0773) out this November.
 
John Byrne rose to fame in the late 70s' with his work with Chris Claremont on the Uncanny X-men. His run would last over 3 years and include the creation of fan favorite character, Kitty Pryde. His 6 year run on the Fantastic Four is considered by many to be a "2nd Golden Age." In 1986, Byrne helped DC revitalize the Superman franchise with The Man Of Steel series. In the 90s, he launched the popular creator-owned series, John Byrne's Next Men. He continues to be a presence in the industry with his work on popular licensed properties Angel and Star Trek. Arcana is proud to have him provide the cover for the new Shadowflame collection.
 
Shadowflame tells the story of officer Tom Wyatt. After his wife, Janice, is murdered he tried to find solace in his own grief and despair. He attempted to end his own life. Instead he found himself transported to a ship orbiting the Earth. The aliens aboard explained that he could not kill himself for he was the last of a chosen line. A family line which possessed the perfect genetic imprint to receive the "gift of power" and become a third holy man of Isht. So after hearing the story of Isht and his family, Tom agreed to take the power. In a painful ceremony he was endowed with powers that set him apart from other men. He was now a superman, capable of vast feats of strength, flight, telekinetic force bolts, and all the rewards of being a holy man. This gave him not only great powers, but a reason to live. The trade paperback collects for the first time all four issues of the series which was originally released in 2007.

Shadowflame is 135 pages, full color and has interior work by Joe Martino, Peter Palmiotti, Ian Sokoliwski, Dash Martin, Rick Buckler Jr, Naser Subashi, Johnny Lowe and Jeff Austin. It is loaded with pinups and chapter covers by Bob Layton, Mike Grell, Rudy Nebres, Andie Tong, Paul Ryan, Darren Taylor, Steven Perkins, Anthony Castrillo, Rob X. Roman, Buzz, Rob Stull, Grant Perkins, and an amazing wraparound cover by comic legend John Byrne

The Shadowflame Trade will be released in early December, 2010. You can buy it at comic book stores and wherever fine paperbacks are sold.
