Great page guest staring Archer & Armstrong.

Shadowman is a lineage and four characters have taken up the mantle thus far in the comics and video games. The most popular is Jack Boniface. A jazz musician, Jack Boniface nearly died one night—attacked by something out of a nightmare. By fateful chance, he escaped. Just a murderous madman with a sick flair for horror, Jack told himself later. Jack recovered. But since that terrifying experience something has changed. Now, when darkness falls, a feeling comes over him, the urge to find demons who defile the night—his night—and cast them out. Jack was always a night person, but since the attack, he thrives at night. He feels strong, wild…and violent. Unaccountably, he sees better in the dark. Jack begins to roam the streets after dark. He comes across a brutal wife-beater…a gang of muggers…a knife-wielding psycho. Demons. The night is full of demons. Jack puts each of them down hard. He’s not sure how. He was never a fighter. But, at night, he has absolutely no fear…and therefore, no limits. He improvises. He’s spontaneous. Unpredictable. It’s all jazz and he can play. By day, Jack is his old self again. But more and more he lives for the night, longs for the night.

Part 2 of 2. Continued from last issue. Guest-starring Archer & Armstrong! Shadowman, Archer and Armstrong are drawn into a dangerous voodoo ritual in the bayous near New Orleans. "Exorcism" is written by Bob Hall, with art and cover by Bob Hall and John Dixon.

This story has heart, interest, and the gentle grace on Archer and Armstrong that was sadly lacking in the book. We see the Darque family from afar, and realize how much more Shadowman can be with the right treatment. Truly interesting. The Nazis were silly, breaking into the ceremony and then running away? Aram's response at the end is classic, breaking apart the car, then throwing it through the window.
