Deadman (2026)

THE ALL-STAR CREATORS OF 2025'S HIT MINISERIES SUPERMAN: THE KRYPTONITE SPECTRUM (AND THE ONGOING HORROR ANTHOLOGY ICE CREAM MAN) ARE BACK AT DC COMICS TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS! The Deadman enters the Next Level! In the millisecond following his murder, the soul of shifty circus aerialist Boston Brand was commandeered by the goddess Rama Kushna, who deputized the erstwhile performer's ghost with a sacred spectral assignment: the Custodian of All Souls! Now Brand floats--begrudgingly--through this bluegreen purgatory we call Earth, upholding the Laws of Spiritual Math and protecting humanity from evil--even if they can't see or hear him. Open up to this new era of DC's most lively deceased superhero--the Deadman--in a story about life, death, and everything in between...replete with paranormal activity, possessions, and a profusion of other poignant peculiarities.

THE DEADMAN COMES TO GOTHAM! Our eschatological escapades continue in this definitive depiction of DC's Deadest Do-Gooder! An unknown species of demon has eaten the heaven-bound soul of a highway cyclist...compromising the sanctity of Earth's Spiritual Math...and threatening the fragile glue that holds everything together! At the behest of goddess Rama Kushna, Boston Brand--a.k.a. the Deadman--has finally donned his brand-new super-suit...which is perfect, it turns out, for his latest spectral assignment: a sleuthy sojourn to the city where sin never sleeps: Gotham!

THE DEADMAN IN HELL! OR... The third edition of this morbid disquisition concerning the attrition/detrition of the human condition, which, in the weekly tradition, boasts a four-color exhibition on some printer's emission. Here, by order of an anonymous optician, watch closely this vision of our titular apparition (armed, you'll remember, with fresh erudition) try and survive--by another's volition--a dire and dangerous mission through the hissin’, Stygian conditions of putrid and pockmarked Perdition--a kind of new rendition (depicted as a living, breathing country-sized conniption), which is rich in its list of sick compositions: e.g., reason's egregious abolition; a pyrotechnic passel of pernicious seditions; hideous, bulging buck-toothed dentition; admittedly ambitious demonic deglutition...of gargoyles and ghouls in decomposition...not to mention an array of impossible physical positions that a physician might consider the work of magicians. So please accept our contrition for this rude imposition, our addled transmission this ungodly, offset-press parturition--one that we wish some brave obstetrician would bring to fruition its quick decommission.

AS BELOW, SO ABOVE! After last issue's truth-telling trek through the tortuous, torturous terrain of Torment Town, Boston Brand must balance the scales and make his way to that...other place. But this ain't the Heaven you know, man. Prepare yourself for an Elysium like you've never seen 'em, as the Deadman continues to unravel the mystery of the Soul-Eaters...while the Realm of the Living bears the cost! Plus: a brief history of Mr. M!
