Bunn Goes The Dynamite – Cullen Bunn To Introduce The Shadow To Houdini

Published Sat, 29 Mar 2014 17:00:44 -0500

At ECCC today Dynamite Entertainment announced that Cullen Bunn, known for his work on Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe and The Sixth Gun, is going to be doing some work for the New Jersey based publisher starting with The Shadow #0.

"I've long been a fan of pulp heroes, and the Shadow was my introduction into that world," says writer Cullen Bunn. "I remember my dad recounting adventures of The Shadow he had heard on the radio as a boy. And my dad could do the best imitation of the Shadow's laugh! I like to think that he'd get a real kick out of me contributing to the legacy of the character. I know I couldn't be more thrilled. In this tale, we see the Shadow infiltrating a secret society of magicians who are willing to do anything to lay claim to what might be the most forbidden of secrets. As the Shadow evades devious deathtraps, we learn that he has a connection to the greatest magician of all time."

In The Shadow #0, secrets of the Shadow's past are revealed as he meets Houdini. The Shadow infiltrates sanctum of an esoteric society of murderous magicians who are hellbent on escaping the ultimate trap–death itself! In order to thwart their plans, though, he must evade twisted traps and solve spellbinding puzzles. A good–or evil–magician never reveals his secrets… but the Shadow knows.

Release date for the issue was not given at the time.
