I was pleasantly suprised by this book. I expected another variation of the classic DC hero, Deadman. I was completely wrong. By the way if you do want to see him, he's in the new issue of 52. But anyways, this is about a pilot, Brandon, who while working with his brother, Scott, crashes a jet into Heathrow Airport. But the twist is, Scott knocked him out while he was in the cockpit, and deliberately frew the plane off course. So he was trying to crash and kill his brother. Through the series of flashbacks that Brandon experiences, we also learn that Scott also stole his true love, Sarah. In the hospital Scott's spirit is trying to talk Brandon's spirit into crossing over. But he doesn't want to. He just wants to get back in his body. So he does. And he wakes up 2 weeks later. In the morgue. Still dead. But not. Sort of. He can walk and talk, but his bodies still dead. So where does he go? Straight to Sarah. I like the way Bruce Jones wrote how Brandon experienced his flashbacks. Most of this book is filled with him flashing all through his life, and then waking for brief moments in the cockpit before the crash. We learn alot about the 2 brothers, but not why Scott stole his girl. Or why Scott was trying to kill him. Actually, did kill him. I want to know what's going to happen next.
