Who or what is Unit 23? Luke Cage must lead his new Thunderbolts deep below on their deadliest mission and face the horrors that mankind can become.

Crossbones Character Designs by Declan Shalvey for Shadowland

Artist Declan Shalvey, best known for the BOOM! Studios comic book version of 28 Days Later and an Eagle Award winner for Hero Killers, is making his Marvel Comics debut.

Writer Jeff Parker and artist Kev Walker started their “Heroic Age” run on Thunderbolts with last month’s #144, and were scheduled to bring the team into the Shadowland with issues #148 and #149, beginning in September. Now, Walker will take a couple issues off before returning with #150, and Shalvey will be stepping in as artist for those two issues, working with Parker to depict the team’s involvement in the impending “street level” crossover, buoyed by Daredevil’s creation of an underground prison dubbed “Shadowland.”
