One of DC Comics cult hits returns this spring, with Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma, a six-issue prestige format miniseries written by Detective Comics Ram V. For the series, V reunites with his Grafitys Wall collaborator, artist Anand RK (of Batman: Urban Legends Wight Witch story and many, many cool as heck covers) and Resurrection Man is exactly the kind of metaphysical, fantasy-adjacent science fiction thats right up Vs alley.Created in 1997 by writing duo Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, and artist Jackson Butch Guice, Mitch Shelley is an amnesiac man who finds he cannot stay dead: Every time he comes back from death, he loses whatever superpower he had in his past life, and gains a new one. Despite the moniker Resurrection Man, Mitch was never really a superhero. He was more of a guy who wandered around trying to figure out his enigmatic past, while helping the needy he encountered and dodging the dangerous, immortal forces that had an interest in him.Abnett, Lanning, and Guices original Resurrection Man ran for 27 issues, then returned for a shorter-lived New 52 series in 2011. In this new series, After living and dying his latest life, Shelley awakes with a new purpose to go along with his latest power: saving the universe, according to DCs news release. This version of Resurrection Man must battle across time and space against a sadistic Word War II internment camp captain who has inherited a twisted version of Shelleys abilities. As the lines of cosmic order begin to blur, Mitch Shelley will literally die to save the universe, more than once.This is a story Ive wanted to tell since I first started writing for DC, V said in the news release. Its lingered and stayed and got its hooks into my mind, and my love and excitement for the character and story has only grown. Part of the joy of writing comics, for me, is getting to reinvent, reimagine characters in a way that speaks to my own preoccupations and joys; with Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma, I hope readers will share in my excitement as Anand, [colorist Mike Spicer] and [letterer Aditya Bidikar] and I tell a storyof endless lifetimes, saving universes and falling in love, spanning the length of all existence.Butch also returns to draw one interior synopsis page in each issue (seen at right below), recapping the history of Mitch Shelley. The first issue of Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma will hit shelves on April 2, and will be available for preorder starting Jan. 17.
