Shadow Man: 2econd Coming is an action-adventure video game developed by Acclaim Studios Teesside and published by Acclaim Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It is a sequel to the 1999 video game Shadow Man and, like the previous game, is based on the Shadowman comic book series published by Valiant Comics.

Plot

The story begins as Michael LeRoi resurrects from "Deadside" to "Liveside" in order to contact Jaunty, a human-headed snake and a close associate of Mama Nettie. Unfortunately, after LeRoi finds and returns Jaunty to Mama Nettie, he is cursed with a powerful spell. Upon completion of his second task and after another encounter with Mama Nettie, LeRoi receives a note from a man named Thomas Deacon whom he goes about in search of, after which LeRoi learns of Asmodeus and the Grigori, as well as their plan to cause Armageddon. It is once again up to Michael, the Shadow Man, to save the world.

Controversy

Acclaim created a minor controversy, when plans of advertising the title on small billboards on tombstones were announced, saying they would pay relatives for the advertising, adding that "poorer" families might be especially interested.[1]
