And so aerialist Boston Brand finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put wrong right, and hoping each time that his next leap… will be the last.
For the first DC Universe Presents arc—is it just me or would a Superman team-up book make a lot more sense in the DC relaunch, sort of an Ultimate Marvel Team-Up—anyway, it’s Deadman. Except Deadman is now “Quantum Leap” with a ghost. Maybe it’s because there’s a TV show in the works and DC wants to make Deadman really episodic.
Deadman now jumps from person to person, making their lives better. Or something. He’s not sure because he’s supposed to be getting guidance from the god Rama, only she’s too busy for him.
A decent script from Paul Jenkins makes it digestible. Bernard Chang designs some great pages, but his art’s a little broad.
Overall, it balances.
