Its heart, Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #3, is a story about the flaws of immortality. Mitch Shelley was able to save countless lives for his various deaths, but he also lost his loved one and experienced unimaginable tragedy. However, in one of the most shocking revelations in recent comic history, it turns out that Shelley is connected to another immortality from the Pantheon of DC: Vandal Savage. In fact, they both earned immortality from the same meteor!
It’s one of those ritons you never expect, but it makes sense. Mitch and Savage are both united by immortality, but their actions are completely different. One of Savage’s first actions is to brutally kill Mitch and cause his first resurrection…and when Mitch has the opportunity to return a favor, he does not. I always felt that the difference between heroes and villains is the choice they make, and from the first brush of immortality, Mitch and Savage were embracing their role.
While this conflict is convincing, Ram V throws a curveball at the viewer by digging deep into one of Mitch’s past relationships with a scientist named Rare. Here we begin to show the immortal shortcomings. “I will die 1,000 different deaths to keep her safe,” Mitch says on one panel. This is the perfect example of how V’s writing can be poetic and profound, regardless of this genre.

The artwork of Anand RK continues to ignore the explanation. The entire splash page features golden gear spinning and a huge fire enveloping heaven. Mitch’s death literally changes his body over the years. At one moment he is an abstract painting that jealously jealous of Pablo Picasso, then a burning skeleton, then a group of figures carrying savages in the present day. There is one page burned out in my heart. It is a trippy collection of images of both finite and infinite images in some way. If you say there are very few superhero comics that get this trippy, trust me.
This won’t work without the color art of the microphone spicer. His work makes the infinity look beautiful, and the resurrection is frightening, especially when the savages and the giant Gadashakuro are concerned. Even the first page featuring Jackson “Butch” Giss’ artwork has been visually arrested. It is characterized by Mitch and the Phantom stranger staring at the vast depths of the universe. It is purely within the scope that evokes adorableness. These are two beings who lived much longer than humans, and may stare at the universe like you or see the Grand Canyon.
The Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #3 moves all the right ways as he explores why someone doesn’t want to live forever. It’s been a while since one of the DC black label books influenced me, but this is a comic and older and newer superhero lovers and indie champions would want to avoid the pull list.

Ram V’s writing is not only poetic, but profound and may be thought of as long as you close the comic.
Anand RK continues to offer eccentric and eye-opening artwork that explores the whole of infinity.
Mike Spicer’s rich, vibrant colours make this a visual feast.
Not only does it make sense, it’s a major returnon that deepens the story.
