The Deadman #5 Preview

 

Boston Brand’s visit to Hell gave him an existential crisis. His trip to Heaven brought him peace. But while Boston wrestles with his place in the universe, the Soul-Eaters are breaking the divine order. And as the spiritual realm grows increasingly imbalanced, it traumatizes the already troubled spirits in his community. Unbeknownst to Boston, a soul in Heaven has been influencing his best friend. And when Bobby realizes what’s been done to him, an accident transforms Boston.

Will Boston’s seemingly bad luck give him a second chance at love? And are the Soul-Eaters’ activities related to the Doom Patrol’s recent discovery?
