After last summer’s event Armor Hunters, the Valiant Universe was shaken and then most recently in The Valiant we watched the whole universe it get pushed to the brink of destruction.

What is Book of Death going to bring? we can assume two things:
- Based on all the past events (Harbinger Wars, Armor Hunters, The Valiant,) and the up coming Drop Dead it will most likely be a 4 part series, and
- Death = Deadside? Maybe?
The Deadside is a realm in Shadowman comics — a hell-like realm behind gates of bone that has served as a key setting in past stories. What’s it — or Shadowman up to now? Well, we don’t know.
Will this be the much anticipated return of Shadowman? its been almost a year since we’ve seen him, and he was one of the only major Valiant characters not to appear in The Valiant.
No writer or artist has been announced yet for Book of Death, but Robert Gill’s artwork graces the teaser, so it seems reasonable to assume he’ll be involved, likely as the primary artist or at a minimum providing covers.
What do you think this means? Will someone from the old Valiant universe have anything to do with this? Return of Shadowman?
All I know is this is going to be big. Valiant’s summer events have been some of the best in the comics industry so this one should be no exception.
