Great art, but I felt like I needed Resurrected after reading it. It’s deathly boring - which is par for course with Ram V these days. Do not attempt to read in single issues.

I just finished the 6 single issues and I’m not sure I understood everything that occurred but something about the somewhat impressionistic writing, art, and colours was very enjoyable. There are a few different levels of the story going on. I enjoyed the retelling of Mitch Shelley's various lives (with some inventive deaths/rebirths that showed the potential of the character) and it seems like this part of the story may have tied together some of the continuity of previous series - though I haven’t read them so I wasn’t sure of all the references. Another part of the story is set in the present (or maybe a place outside of time) where there is a conflict with his future self and with a cannibalistic entity. Some of the scenes in Samsara are quite abstract and philosophical, but there is also another, more practical path through this that involves help from Human Target and Phantom Stranger. Chemo even shows up in a panel halfway through the series, to my delight. It probably relies on a bit of knowledge of the DC Universe as a few, more obscure characters appear, but the story otherwise stands alone and can be enjoyed by anyone who has a grasp on Mitch's unique "power".
I feel like this short series flew under the radar a bit, even though Ram V’s name was on it, but what do I know? Maybe it sold like hotcakes. It’s something one should be able to get a few reads out of and pick up more details each time - or maybe you'd re-read just enjoy the art all over again. It also features some of the final work by co-creator Butch Guice, who was involved in some of the intro pages to each issue and who died part way through the series being created and published.

Living. Dying. Loving. Hating. Genesis. Entropy. Memories. Regret. New beginnings. Never ending.

Wow. Ram V has crafted an incredible tale that is both human and godly, fragile and unbreakable — the juxtapositions of life encapsulated within six issues of a terrific timeline of events drafted as a singular story through one man’s lives: The Resurrection Man.

I’ve been a HUGE Resurrection Man fan since his very first introduction by Abnett, Lanning, and Guice nearly three decades ago. And yet, perhaps, this is my absolute favorite collection featuring the titular character. No cap. This book is DEEP and SO GOOD.

I’m f*cking enthralled with the concepts and layers threaded throughout this book. So. So. Good.

Bravo! This is a gorgeous work of comic book artistry, truly outstanding. Writer and artist, Ram V. and Anand Radhakrishnan, are both at the top of their game here. If you twist my arm for criticism, it’s the cover(s). They’re fine, but the airbrushed, contemporary style is a contrast to the organic, more free flowing style of the interior art. It’s a strange choice, IMO. This series stands out with Ram’s other breakout series, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr and Rare Flavours. Sharp, thoughtful, wildly fun, and so freakin’ pretty.

Ales Kot walked so Ram V (and Deniz Camp) could run... Authors that were born outside the Anglosphere that are able to find a way to mix high-concept sci-fi/spiritual ideas with an above-average super hero plot.

3.5.

Trippy, spiritual, a focus on one man’s burden, memories, and regrets…and love.
