There's a neat little Deadman short story in Solo #8, written by Neil Gaiman. Deadman talks to a little girl and tells her about the type of things he does for fun. This is always how I imagined Deadman would act if he were a real person. If I were Deadman, I'd slip into Ben Afflect right before he slides into Jennifer Garner. Let the other guy do all the dirty work and reap the rewards. Take hold of Ellen DeGeneres for a night with Portia De Rossi. Get together with Demi Moore by taking...no, I'd never possess Ashton. Or drink as much as you want, then leave the hangover to someone else. Get a bodybuilder to eat all those pizzas and ice cream. Deadman could really wreak havoc with the world. What if he possessed Bush during a news conference and made him say, "Yeah, we knew there were no weapons of mass destruction, we just wanted the oil. So what? Are you guys driving rickshaws?"
This issue focuses on the art of Teddy Kristiansen. The Deadman story is the only one featuring a DC character. The rest are all esoteric stories featuring Kristiansen's nineteenth century style artwork. A very unique DC comic.
I am so glad no one is drawing that freaky Kelly Jones Deadman any more. Deadman is one of my favorite DC characters. Nuff said.
