Sensei is down. Deadman is heading toward Nanda Parbat. Can Ra's al Ghul be far behind? Secrets will be revealed and horrors tested, and the reader can search for Ra's al Ghul on the cover. He is there. The plot thickens.

    Neal Adams' absurdist Deadman miniseries approaches its conclusion in Deadman #5, and one would assume that there are major plot developments in this penultimate issue with all the new concepts and characters that Adams has introduced. Nope! Read Full Review
