Our eschatological escapades continue in this definitive depiction of DC’s Deadest Do-Gooder!

Jul 01, 2026There are so many things in this issue that make it stand out, but my favorite has to be a segment that takes place inside Batman’s head as Deadman tries to possess him – and discovers that Batman even has fail-safes against that built in. Prep time! Brilliant stuff, once again. Read Full Review

KPB Comics - Phillip Creary
Jul 01, 2026The Deadman #2 absolutely hits it out of the park. It balances heavy spiritual philosophy with that classic, beautifully campy DC magic energy. The main villain falls a bit flat, but the tragic debut of the Bibliophile completely makes up for it. This issue proves the series has a massive heart to match its supernatural horror.

Jul 01, 2026Boston Brand’s search for answers leads him into a wild visit to Gotham City with much wonder behind it. Prince doesn’t stray too far away from the routine formula for this endeavor. Morazzo & O'Halloran switch up some presentations with sensational art. A widening mystery with many miles left to go. Read Full Review

Comic Book Clique - Abel Loza
Jul 07, 2026The art styling from Marin Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran fits perfectly with the world that writer W. Maxwell Prince is trying to create, as it feels so unhinged and otherworldly. Everyone’s interpretation of the afterlife from this creative team is so weird and wonderful. It blends some elements of what westerners believe with HEAVY influences from Hinduism and Buddhism. For me, that is so interesting to get a lesson in Sociology while reading a good comic book. Ultimately, The Deadman #2 does a fantastic job in keeping us interested in the series, while only giving us a few glimpses into the main villain. Read Full Review

Not as strong as the first issue, but still really good. This has done a good job of balancing its tone, in my opinion, with the mystery, the humor, the action, etc.. I think that Prince has done a good job handling Boston's character as a whole, as well. Morazzo is a good fit for the story being told, also, and I'm just really liking the work they're both doing. Looking forward to Deadman going to the underworld in the next issue, as well as learning more about the antagonist, whose name I don't think has been stated yet? Oh yeah, and I also appreciated the inclusion of Batman's "gadget description box" that we've seen in his mainline series by Matt Fraction & Jorge Jiménez.
