IT'S THE END OF THE BEGINNING FOR THIS NEXT LEVEL REIMAGINING OF BOSTON BRAND--THE DEADMAN. Back in present day--and burdened with a terrible vision of a future without Heaven or Hell--the Custodian of Souls must rally the ghosts of Robertsville (with a little help from a nearby hospital) to fight an invisible war against Mr. M's Soul-Eaters. But just who is Menirad Metzger? And who is the old man that taught M to stay young forever? Questions compound and answers flicker into view like the bulb of a street lamp in this last first chapter of the Justice League's dark defender of the Afterlife. (And hey--Bobby's there, too!)
