Deadman #2 - Vertigo


The hero of our story, if you want to call him that, Brandon, was killed in an airplane crash with his brother Scott last issue. And that's just the beginning of our story. He leaves behind, the love of his life, his brother's wife, Sarah. And that's not even the weird part. Apparently, until he decides he's ready to move on, one way or the other, he's stuck in a limbo where he keeps switching from reality to reality. He feels like he's stuck in a dream, but not, at the same time. And each on varies ever so slightly from the next. The second one, the first is the real life, he's married to Sarah, and she's a Physics Professor. He and his brother still end up in the Airplane crash, but it's his fault. In the third he's still married to Sarah, but as he's trying to explain what's going on to her, at the breakfast table, dressed in his security uniform, some military looking types show up and attempt to kill both of them. The next version everything starts out the same. He trys harder to explain it all to her this time. And this time she's a Psychology Professor. All of this seems to have something to do with "string theory", because it's brought up multiple time, in the varios incarnations. There's a knock at the door again, but this time it's a single man with a pistol that shoots Sarah in the head. So how is he going to get out of this loop he's stuck in? And how come these people are coming after him? And how can sombody come after you in a dream? They apparently know where he's at, who he's with, and what he's doing. All great questions . . . . for the next issue.
