    Default Deadman #4 *Spoilers*

    This issue features Deadman being shot from the flying trapeze, realizing that his costume is only a figment of his imagination, and PROFESSOR PLUM DID IT IN THE STUDY WITH THE CANDLESTICK (okay, okay, I just thought the Professor Plum character was funny).

    I know that's not really much of a synopsis, well, okay, it sucks... but the pieces are only beginning to float together...

    Best issue of the series, so far.

    I read the issue. This series still confuses the crap out of me. I was also amused by the Prof. Plum line. I might relegate this to one of my "only in trades" books, but not until the end of this story. I hope it starts making more sense soon.

    It's not a bad series. I'm actually enjoying it. I don't know too much about Deadman history, but is this series based on the DCU version of the character?

    Oh God, I hope not. I saw Boston on the last cover and I almost bought it, but I'm hoping Jones was playing that for a cheap gag instead of tying this book into the Boston Brand character or the Rama Kushna origin.
    Go !@#$ yourself.

    Nope. This is a completely new Deadman.

    Nope, totally separate from the Boston mythos. I think it was just a nice nod to the original Deadman. But I'm loving this series. It's great, Sarah and Brandon's interactions are nicely done. Pick this series up pronto.

    I'm still really confused by this series, and it's writing. I want to figure it out but not sure if I have the patience.

    I saw Bruce Jones' name on it and just stayed away. Had it been by anyone else (well, not Brian Azzarello) I'd have given it a shot.
