Fifteen years after his stunning death, Paul Johnstone wears the helmet of ShadowHawk once more. New York, however, is a far more dangerous place than he remembers, as a new evil grows in the city's shadows. But, before ShadowHawk can deal with the ramifications of being alive again, he must first deal with the ramifications of his past and its consequences. Spinning out from the universe-shattering events of Image United - the original back-breaker returns! This collection includes alternate covers and the ShadowHawk back-up story, "Back Pain," written by Steve Niles and illustrated by ShadowHawk creator and Image founder, Jim Valentino.
