Deadman #1 (Vol 4)

The acclaimed veteran duo of beloved writer Bruce Jones (NIGHTWING, THE WARLORD) and groundbreaking artist John Watkiss (SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE, TRIGGER) delve into the enigmas of existence and affection beyond death in this fresh take on the iconic DC figure. Merging high-octane action with mind-bending theories, Deadman is presented as only Vertigo can, in a series that intertwines sex and string theory, parapsychology, and political intrigue, blurring the lines between the 'wonder years' and the afterlife. Brandon Cayce, a brash young pilot for a leading airline, enjoys flying straight and partying until dawn. Flying on a free ticket with his elder brother Scott piloting, Brandon is nursing an unrelenting hangover. Suddenly, Scott intentionally crashes their plane into a skyscraper in downtown London. Brandon perishes in the catastrophic accident, along with all the passengers. But his ordeal doesn't end there. To navigate the aftermath of his death, Brandon must tackle these enigmas directly, only to discover that the key to the puzzle might be his late brother's wife — a woman he once deeply loved. Upon reuniting with her, he realizes that his affection for her is an undying facet of his being.
