Shadowman Vol. 1: Birth Rites

This is another awesome title from Valiant Comics.  Shadowman is like a cross between Blade & Doctor Strange set in New Orleans.  The beginning of the book shows a showdown between Darque & Shadowman in what looks like a fight to the death.  Lets move forward a couple of years Jack is trying to figure out who he is where he came from.  His search brings him back to New Orleans where he finds out about who his parents were but not the whole truth.  Jack has a run in with some of Mr. Twist's agents who try to execute him but he is saved by the Loa.  The Loa turns Jack into the Shadowman.  Jack meets up with Dox & Alyssa who offer to train him to become the Shadowman.  The final showdown between Shadowman & Mr. Twist takes place in the Deadside & what looks like a victory for Shadowman could also be seen as a victory for Darque.
