Congratulations to our very own breakthrough artist Mukesh Singh on being nominated for the Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award. With his incredible work on Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter, Guy Ritchie’s Gamekeeper, and Devi, Mukesh is quickly building an astounding resume. And the industry is taking notice!
The Russ Manning award is given to a comic book artist “who, early in his career, shows a superior knowledge and ability in the art of creating comics.” The winner will be announced on July 25th at the Eisner Awards Ceremony at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. To see samples of Singh’s gorgeous artwork on Shadow Hunter check out our free widescreen digital comic. For a complete list of the nominees click here.
The wait is over! We’re proud to announce that the creator of the wildly ambitious “Family From Hell: A Documentary” has won the Shadow Hunter’s Family From Hell grand prize—a custom sketch by Shadow Hunter cover artist, Greg Horn. We haven’t decided just how badly the Shadow Hunter will be kicking their ass in the picture.
We had so many fantastic submissions that not only was it hard to pick the Grand Prize winner, but it was equally hard to select the 10 runner ups, who will all receive autographed Shadow Hunter lithographs and a collection of Virgin Comics Trade Paperbacks.
Prize winners will be notified by email with further details.

We got a great number of submissions for the recently concluded Family From Hell contest and are happy to announce the two finalists for the Grand Prize—a custom sketch by Shadow Huntercover artist, Greg Horn, drawing the winner getting their ass kicked by the badass Shadow Hunter! Keep the comments coming and let us know who you think should win! First prize winners will get email notifications but be sure to check back on April 15th for the Grand Prize winner.
Due to overwhelming interest in our Family From Hell contest for Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter, we’ve decided to extend the entry cut-off date to April 1st. Please keep in mind that any entry submitted to familyfromhell@virgincomics.com will be eligible to win, but we can only post submissions that include some sort of visual element in our interactive Kyte player. We have received numerous text-only entries, which are still in the running to win but cannot be updated onto our Kyte player.
The grand prize winner will be drawn into the graphic novel edition of Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter by acclaimed artist Greg Horn. No word yet on how badly the winner’s butt will get kicked by the Shadow Hunter! Other prizes include Jenna Jameson-signed lithographs and a collection of graphic novels from Virgin Comics.
Go to www.jennacomix.com for more information on the contest. The two newest entries we posted are titled Family From Hell: A Documentary and The Family From Hell Song- be sure to check them out!
Thanks to all for participating in the Shadow Hunter blog contest and exclusive Dan Dare newsletter contest last week. Based on the tremendous response, the newsletter contests are going to be a regular feature so to get your chance to win comics and other exclusives by signing up for the Virgin Comics Newsletter. Here are the lucky winners!
Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter has been getting a lot of online coverage and sites have had varying approaches to Jenna’s comic. Here are some of our favorite headlines so far:
The fans have spoken! Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter #1 is selling out in comic shops around the country. The Greg Horn cover in particular seems to be the toughest to get a hold off. But have no fear, we still have copies at the Virgin Comics Store, as well as the other two variants and limited edition lithographs.
Since its Friday and we’re feeling generous, the first 3 fans to send an email to win@virgincomics.com with “Shadow Hunter” in the subject win all three covers of Shadow Hunter #1.
(Contest open to US residents only. Please include your address in the body of the email)
To celebrate the release of Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter #1, we’ve launched a DOWNLOADS section at JennaComix.com where you can get exclusive wallpapers, buddy icons, and artwork.
Also, there is still plenty of time to enter the Shadow HunterFAMILY FROM HELL contest. All you have to do is submit videos, pictures, or stories explaining why your family is from hell, and the grand prize winner will be drawn into the graphic novel edition of Jenna Jameson’s Shadow Hunter by acclaimed artist Greg Horn. No word yet on how badly the winner’s butt will get kicked by the Shadow Hunter! Other prizes include Jenna Jameson-signed lithographs and a collection of graphic novels from Virgin Comics.
