The Zapper!: "Shadowbane"

About two weeks ago it was whispered to me that Shadowbane was closing. A little over a week later Stray Bullet Games' Community Manager, Brian Lucas, confirmed the whisper, linking an article talking about the history of the game and announcing the May 1st final day. [more info]
For as long as there has been a Zapper, Shadowbane (and his trusty companion Horizons) has sat at its edge narrowly avoiding the blue flash of being zapped itself. Now the time has come for the Shadowbane fly to sail nobly to his death.
Whether this means he will no longer appear in the Zapper comic remains to be seen. Strictly speaking, as long as a game is remembered it is never truly dead. And I have no intention of forgettng Shadowbane any time soon. We'll just have to wait and see.
