EXCLUSIVE: 4-Page Preview of 'DC Universe Presents' Featuring 'Deadman'

interesting?

Deadman's look always reminds me of a zombiefied pale Daredevil.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess this and Animal Man will be the best books of the new 52.

I kinda like this, from my understanding it will be a anthology type book with different story arcs featuring different characters?

This would be a great way to cover a lot of heroes that would never get their own title.

DC Presents, Justice League, Justice League Dark and guest appearances in Hawk & Dove...who died and made Deadman the new Batman with this amount of coverage?

Is DC Universe Presents a Deadman-only book?

Boston leaps into the next body, hoping his next leap will be his leap home. Deadman: Starring Scott Bakula

no. if it was it would probably be called Deadman :D

Deadman is only the star of the first arc

not a big deadman fan but i might buy this

This has confirmed my thoughts... I am definitely going to get this!

As Deadman fan, and wannabe writer, this preview proves that this arc will show Deadman in the way I pictured, and in a way that could show the comic medium in a different light to the general public, if it is successful.

The only problem is the art, in my opinion. I don't think that it's bad, but I think that's it's rather average and the book would fit a style more similar to Animal Man.....

That regardless, I'm no expert and I will be picking this up anyway....

Dude this looks SO awesome!

Simply wonderful! Wish I could get it though. Just so much of New 52 that I want but know I don't have the green to get. Maybe someday ::sighs::

Just a thought.... does this take on Deadman remind anyone else of Quantum Leap? (I understand that people have compared QL with the upcoming Deadman TV show, but that said...)

Looks like a winner to me!

Deadman is making a comeback!

eh...no thank you

Is it bad that I already want to find out who the next person is to star in this book and not really care about Deadman's story?

@Jordanstine: wow why is huntress with DD? what is this pic from?

I'm surprised that they let Deadman keep the collar. What is it with DC Circus performers rocking the large collar, Nightwing used to have it and Deadman always had it

hmm...looks intereesting...

well, you're not the only one...

@Outside_85: Batman did. :D

Definitely picking this up. I love Deadman. ^^

I love the Deadman and i'll be picking this up.

This preview is the first time I've ever seen a Deadman feature and thought "interesting."

I like Bernard Chang's art

not amazed, i was reallyhoping for a great DM book that pushes the envelope but this is a very rudimentary story, i understand this is a relaunch but still

@the_nightwalker: I see where you're coming from, however these are just the first four pages and so it's expected for them to cover the basic facts of Deadman before launching into the story. But I suggest that you should still give it a chance, or at least keep it in the back of your mind and check on it later, and then see if you still think that the story is rudimentary or if it would be something you'd be interested in following in the future.

This only confirms my earlier belief that this title is going to be amazing.

Also, Ryan Sook is one of the best cover artists working today. Check the links below if you don't believe me.

@CBattles6: Couldn't agree more about Ryan Sook. He's amazing and this is by far one of the best covers of the relaunch.

That ramp on page 1, for a jump that long, is the whackiest vertical panel I have seen in 2011. A ramp that size looks like it would be for jumping Galactus, not a two-care high pile-up. He's a great artist, but obviously not an X-Games fan.

This might be good. I think I'll just pick it up.

Why just pick it up? You should read it too!=D

Woah, Rama Kushna is looking quite like one helluva smexy djinn here!

(btw, noobs: I know Rama Kushna is a "fictive" indu goddess, I'm just saying she looks like a djinn)

@thechessclub: Well... ehm.... Let me think... I might even do that too :P

that cover image alone is enough for me to buy this one!
