“DEAD AGAIN BOOK ONE: THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.” A mysterious force summons Deadman to help prevent the heroic self-sacrifice of Barry Allen-the Flash-during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. But the unexpected appearance of a dark force named Darius Caldera has complicated matters that go beyond life or death.
Note: This is a review of the Deadman: Dead Again Limited Series issues 1-5.
This series was interesting. We see Deadman show up at pivotal deaths in the DC universe of the last several years. Specifically, Flash in Crisis, Robin in Death in the Family, The Death of Superman, the destruction of Coast City, and Hal Jordan's sacrifice in Final Night.
While I don't like retconning, this didn't feel as intrusive as usual. Overall this was interesting, especially since some of the issues had art from the original artists of the events.
One of the better Deadman series, especially for fans of 80s-90s DC.
