This is a brilliant, incredibly bleak launch that might be one of the most unsettling books in the Black Label line, which makes it a perfect fit for a deeply bizarre cult favorite character. Read Full Review
Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #1 isn't just a trippy ride through existence, but the beginning of a truly unique character study. Mitch Shelley may be dying to save the world, but this is a comic that's full of life. Read Full Review
The present day/dying of old age hits harder than the WWII flashbacks, but show the creators' ambition to create the single greatest Mitch Shelley comic. Read Full Review
Resurrection Man Quantum Karma #1 is a phenomenal return for a character long overdue for the spotlight. Ram Vs writing is emotionally resonant and thematically rich, Anand RKs art captures the eerie, existential nature of Mitchs journey, and the rest of the creative team delivers a visually stunning, immersive experience.

Expectations coming into Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #1 should be tempered. While this series may eventually hew closer to a superhero outing, right now it is anything but that. Further, it is on an exceptionally slow burn as it moves toward wherever it is going. That said, it is overall a compelling issue both in art and narrative for readers who like high concept stories.

I pride myself on knowing way too much information on many of superheros. This is one, that I don't know much about. I really enjoyed this one. No big spoilers here, just go give it a read!
Another difficult one to rate because parts of this are 10.
But as a single issue this is not a 10. It will probably read much better in trade.
And what a boring cover for a book with great art inside. Fortunately the variant cover is fantastic.
I don’t think anyone ever wanted to know this much about Resurrection Man. If this is a character you’re into this is probably one of the greatest things you’ve ever hoped to get on the character. I don’t know that this will pull in new readers, it doesn’t feel accessible to those unfamiliar with the character. There are some real over the top moments and the parts that might resonate widely don’t last long enough. The overall concept is fairly bizarre and I feel like this makes it even weirder.
