Deadman By Neal Adams 2017 4

From behind the scenes rises “He Who Is Always There,” Ra’s al Ghul, the very worst option before or after the death of Boston Brand. No path, no future will remain uncorrupted as long as Ra’s al Ghul remains alive. Deadman would be better off if he halted his quest before death is the best of two options.

Hold the cover of DEADMAN #2 up to the light and the danger that was invisible seconds before will be revealed! Now, any lingering doubt that Deadman was deliberately murdered in cold blood, and not as a test for the Hook to join the League of Assassins, is put to rest once and for all!

“JOURNEY INTO DEATH” part one! When we last left Deadman, the true story had barely begun! Deadman’s death was unsolved, and his fate was intertwined with that of his parents and siblings. Even the Dark Night Detective couldn’t solve the mysteries of Boston Brand’s fantastic secrets! Now, Batman is back, confronting Deadman about who was really behind his death. Was Boston Brand’s assassination a test for the League of Assassins? Why does Batman think Ra’s al Ghul was involved? And why does Deadman need the help of Zatanna, Phantom Stranger, Dr. Fate and the Spectre to defend Nanda Parbat?

The Spectre, Etrigan the Demon and the Phantom Stranger smell death around Deadman—and they’ve come to get a whiff! But they’re about to learn how little they know—because the secrets they seek are actually held in the mind of Deadman’s father…and those secrets lie very close to a near-death experience.

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.

Just as RaÕs al Ghul is hidden in this six-part miniseries, so is his near-demonic influence hidden and slowly revealed in this final issue! Boston BrandÕs death was no accident, but a planned and ruthless murder...orchestrated by none other than the Head of the Demon. What Deadman needs now is either deathÑor the help of the WorldÕs Greatest Detective!
