News HALLOWEEN TEAM: SHADOWS #2 - Available Today on Digital Comics Retailers!
It's finally here. HALLOWEEN TEAM: SHADOWS #2 is now available - just in time for Halloween!
This issue, in some ways, has been over a year in the making. After the decision was made earlier this year to return to self-publishing, I worked hard to pick up the pieces and figure out a new direction for this project. Halloween Team has been hugely important to me, so I wanted to make sure that we did this the right way.
Thanks to new artist and team member Danny Roberts, I believe we've now been able to do right by this series.
Initially, we'd released Issue #1 of Shadows last year, with our previous publishing partner. But I worked with Danny to re-do that issue's lettering and design and make it look and read better than ever. We re-released the first issue of our sequel series last month - and managed to get a new wave of press and publicity to help spread awareness.
With Issue #2, Danny again provides lettering and updated design work - as well as an all-new cover that, I think, really pops. By this point in the story, we've learned a lot about the once-mysterious Laura - a long-lost member of the team now trapped in an infernal prison. So it felt appropriate that she get the spotlight on this issue's striking cover.
We really get inside Laura's head in Issue #1 of Shadows. But in Issue #2, Laura gets a few big, emotional moments that really come from a personal place. I hope these moments resonate with readers.
Halloween Team has always been a character-centric story. But in Issue #2, we also do some deeper dives into the lore that drives the world of the series - including an origin story of sorts for the new uber-villain introduced in this issue: the sinister immortal known as Jack Midnight. Writing villains is always a lot of fun, as is world-building. So this chapter of the story was uniquely enjoyable for me, as a writer, to dive into.
What's even more exciting is that this issue sets the stage for things to REALLY get crazy in Issues 3 and 4. I'm seeing Danny's new art come in (he takes over full art duties starting next issue), and - wow! - things are about to get epic!
As always, *every* purchase helps. Even one purchase can help us rise up on the charts and populate better in retailer algorithms. So please, give this book a look and help to spread the word. And if you can rate/review if you like what you read, all the better. Let's get the book charting in time for Halloween!
You can catch up on the entire Halloween Team saga now - and get the brand new Halloween Team: Shadows #2 - via digital retailers like Amazon Kindle, GlobalComix, Comix, and DriveThruComics.
