DC Comics has given us an exclusive look at the cover art for the third issue of Resurrection Man and we also have more information on the series and upcoming issues.
"A cult favorite character returns in a new series written by his classic creative team of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Joining them is JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST artist Fernando Dagnino. RESURRECTION MAN #1 is the story of a hero who wakes up with new powers each time he’s killed.
Mitch Shelly is back from the dead. And every time he is resurrected, he acquires a new skill set of powers. But it won’t be long until people start to notice and attempt to stop him from rising again."
Issue 3: Written by DAN ABNETT and ANDY LANNING - Art by FERNANDO DAGNINO - Cover by IVAN REIS and JOE PRADO
Issue 2: "Mitch Shelley’s past remains a mystery. So when he goes looking for answers, will he find them? Not likely, when he has to contend with the bounty hunter femme fatales known as The Body Doubles." Written by DAN ABNETT and ANDY LANNING - Art by FERNANDO DAGNINO - Cover by IVAN REIS and JOE PRADO
Issue 1: "It’s the return of Mitch Shelly – and he’s still dead. Resurrection Man can’t stay dead for long, though – and with each rebirth comes new and unexpected powers. But his many returns have not gone unnoticed, and forces are gathering to learn what’s so special about him – and to see which of them will finally stop Resurrection Man dead."
