Resurrection Man (New 52), Vol. 1: Dead Again by Dan Abnett; Resurrection Man (New 52), Vol. 1: Dead Again by Dan Abnett; (illus) My rating: 3 of 5 stars. Paperback, 160 pages Published September 4th 2012 by DC Comics Source: Purchased print edition. Resurrection Man is new to me I'd never heard of him before. He's really cool though and belongs to the dark, paranormal group of superheroes. At least I'm pretty sure he's a hero. Every time he dies he is resurrected quickly with new superpowers. In this volume, agents from both Heaven and Hell are trying to get him and bring him "home" as his soul has been around way too long. In the meantime, he has forgotten who he is and where he came from, his past, and is searching for clues and people who can help him find that information. Lots of action and battles and a decent read. I'd like to read more about him. Resurrection Man Vol. 1. Dan Abnett lives and works in Maidstone, Kent.

I'm not familiar with the original run of Resurrection Man, but this volume has sold me on the character. Mitch Shelly's ability to come back to life with a new superpower every time allows for limitless iterations of the character, sometimes in one issue. The action is fast, the story keeps you guessing about Mitch's past (why is it that he can't die? what are the ramifications for heaven and hell if one soul is ransomed indefinitely? who was Mitch before he was RM?), and there's even a healthy helping of fanservice! I'll definitely be buying the next volume. Resurrection Man is one of those tiny, little titles released under the New 52. If you're like me, unless you knew about the character before hand, you probably forgot about this little title and it's main character. I've read and seen the main character in other comics before, but never in his own title. So I passed on Resurrection Man and my comic shop recently was willing to sell me the collected edition for only $5. Well with a deal like that and one of my reliable sources really enjoyed the series from the start, I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, I'm intrigued. RESURRECTION MAN VOL.1: DEAD AGAIN collects issues #1-7. Mitch Shelley, AKA Resurrection Man, a man who gets a random set of powers every time he dies and resurrects again. Mitch awakens from the dead with no recollection of who he is. He has a feeling to travel to Portland for some reason, and gets caught up into a fight with an angelic-being named Suriel who wants him dead--permanently. While also on his way to know who he is and why he's going around the country picking up the pieces of what he lost, two mysterious meta-humans called the Body Doubles want Mitch dead as well. It looks like both heaven and hell want Mitch. but for what? Well let's just say when you die that many times, it's time to collect. I never read the previous run on RM from Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, but I know of their great work on Marvel's revamped character and praise from their work on Legion of Super-heroes (though I never read it, only heard about it). And I admit, they've done a great job creating this character I never really knew until now. The book gives you Mitch's rough origin and beliefs fairly well. You don't have to read any previous RM plots to get this. So it's good for new readers. It's an action packed, semi-humorous "who am I?" story with heaven and hell fighting for Mitch, that starts out pretty slow with the first two or three issues, then it really starts to take off from there. Mitch is a likable everyday guy you can get behind, and even the supporting cast is likable as well (the Body Doubles are charming to watch). The involvement of having a different power-set after resurrecting is pretty fun to watch and leaves plenty of room for stories. And without giving it away, some of the locations Mitch visits are pretty enjoyable to see as well. Besides the beautiful covers all done by Ivan Reis (current Aquaman artist with Geoff Johns ring a bell), the artist for RM Fernando Dagnino does commendable job. His art is similar to Reis and Wonder Woman's Cliff Chiang's in some ways (though not quite up to their levels), but it's good. The splash pages of Mitch coming back to life are some of the best shots in the collection. It never gets to horrific or dark by any means, so it keeps a nice balance. There are not too many flaws from what I read and if they are, they're minor. The overall story does take some time to build though, with a good majority setting up who Mitch is. And even with 7 issues collected here, it leaves many loose plots to be concluded in the next volume. It's still a good ending that will get you excited for the next volume; it just doesn't quite feel complete though. And although this really isn't a flaw by any means, the series will be cancelled after 13 issues (12 issues and 1 Zero issues). So if your one that wants to get into a series for the long haul, this isn't one of them. RESURRECTION MAN VOL1: DEAD AGAIN is a little, tiny surprise in the New 52. It has action, suspense, great art, likable characters, and a story line that you want to actually see come to a close. It's gotten me interest in Mitch as Resurrection Man enough, where I think I'll pick up Abnett/Lannings run on Mitch in Resurrection Man, Vol. 1 . So even if this title is biting the dust after the next volume, I think this still worth checking out and broadening your scope of the lesser known characters in the DC Universe. And if there's anything I've learned from this series, is that RM might die after 13 issues--but he'll be back sooner or later.
