Notes[]
- The real "The Fifth Horseman" novel is a 1980 techno-thriller (not written by Howard Allen Waite).
- The series was canceled after this issue, however, another six issues had already been solicited – by the same creative team of Abnett, Lanning, Broome, and Regla:
- Shadowman (Volume 3) #7 · (01/2000)
The conclusion of the "Never Ending Party!" Shadowman finds himself powerless to stop an evil cabalist's plans to suck all the necromantic energy from all of the party-goers! If these machinations come to pass, half of New Orleans may be destroyed! All this, plus Master Darque rears his ugly head! - Shadowman (Volume 3) #8 · (02/2000)
Shadow Man and Astrid decide to date. But when it comes to these two, dating isn't a regular thing. Shadow Man and Astrid find themselves stranded in another dimension, and must traverse weird and strange landscapes to find their way home. However, instead of finding home, they end up 25 years in our future... where vampires have taken over the world! - Shadowman (Volume 3) #9 · (03/2000)
Shadow Man and Astrid must overthrow the twisted vampire ruled future Earth to return to the present. Surprisingly the leader of the Vampire Earth is someone very familiar to Shadow Man. Who you ask? Buy the book, and find out! - Shadowman (Volume 3) #10 · (04/2000)
Shadow Man and Astrid are still trapped in a future Earth that is wrong. Really wrong. The Shadow mantle has taken over the Earth and only Shadow Man can stop it. But what if he's the cause of it?! - Shadowman (Volume 3) #11 · (05/2000)
Bellos cannot be defeated. Shadow Man and Astrid must return to the present, and the only way can do that is to find Mama Nettie. But, will they find Mama Nettie, and can they stop Bellos in the present before he changes the future? - Shadowman (Volume 3) #12 · (06/2000)
Astrid and Michael make it back to present day. The Earth is solved from vampiric infestation... or is it? What will Shadow Man do when he faces Bellos in present day? Cap him? Hug him? Have a party? Also, an ending that you just wouldn't believe!
- Shadowman (Volume 3) #7 · (01/2000)
Quotes[]
- The Masquerade is a congregation of the most powerful occult personalities in creation. Anything and everything can happen here. And it will. That's the point of the Masquerade. They create a reality bubble, like this one under Laveau's tomb, and party as if it's the end of the world. Which, for them, it never is.
- I'm here for one purpose and one purpose only... New Orleans is my town. Touch it, harm it, play with it in any way and you will answer to me.
- NOBODY MOVE! Nobody even think of moving! -- By the authority of God, and the Curia and Holy See of Rome, I hereby seize this place and all in it! -- Defilers! Heretics! Blasphemers! The Inquisition has you now!
- -- Inquisitor (yelling!)
