THE DEADMAN IN HELL! OR… The third edition of this morbid disquisition concerning the attrition/detrition of the human condition, which, in the weekly tradition, boasts a four-color exhibition on some printer’s emission. Here, by order of an anonymous optician, watch closely this vision of our titular apparition (armed, you’ll remember, with fresh erudition) try and survive–by another’s volition–a dire and dangerous mission through the hissin’, Stygian conditions of putrid and pockmarked Perdition–a kind of new rendition (depicted as a living, breathing country-sized conniption), which is rich in its list of sick compositions: e.g., reason’s egregious abolition; a pyrotechnic passel of pernicious seditions; hideous, bulging buck-toothed dentition; admittedly ambitious demonic deglutition…of gargoyles and ghouls in decomposition…not to mention an array of impossible physical positions that a physician might consider the work of magicians. So please accept our contrition for this rude imposition, our addled transmission this ungodly, offset-press parturition–one that we wish some brave obstetrician would bring to fruition its quick decommission. $3.99: 8/5/2026

But this ain’t the Heaven you know, man. Prepare yourself for an Elysium like you’ve never seen ’em, as the Deadman continues to unravel the mystery of the Soul-Eaters…while the Realm of the Living bears the cost!

THE FUTURE OF THE DEADMAN! In this loving ode to an occult-classic comic, the Deadman finds himself flung to one of a few feasible futures in which the forward march of Earth’s phantoms has fallen off…for good. Boston Brand–human once more!–must survive a strange sojourn through a soulless tomorrow, featuring the freakiest-ever futuristic takes on a few familiar faces belonging to the DCU’s phantasmagoric foothold. Soldier on, photon stranger, through the psycho-spiritual swamp that is…the Gr33n. $3.99 10/7/2026
“The response to our Deadman story has been absolutely spirit-lifting,” said W. Maxwell Prince. “We’re having so much fun giving new life to Boston Brand and his purgatorial world…and we’re not ready to give up the ghost just yet. Here’s to 6 more issues of monsters, mantras, and mystic math!”
“With six additional issues from W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, Chris O’Halloran, and Good Ol’ Neon, Boston Brand’s journey through life, death, and the strange spaces in between is only beginning.”
