Deadman #5 - Vertigo


Ok, this ones getting interesting and rather complicated. I know Bruce Jones knows what he's doing. It's just sometimes it's had to see the forest through the trees. Anyways, it appears Brandon and Scott both have psychic powers. Since they had to come from somewhere, they came from his father. That's why he's in a coma. Because if he were to die, whoever is after them wouldn't be able to get whatever information he has. From what I understand, Brandon's powers didn't kick in until after he died. Scott killed them both, because he knew they were going to be coming after them. Now that he's dead, he's trying to teach Brandon how to use his talents, but he's being very oblique in his lessons. Can't give away too much information, I guess. Anyways, Sarah is pregnant with Scott's baby, so they are after her. Why? Because once the baby's born, with Scott's talents, they will be able to train it from infancy. Then Sarah will be expendable. Scott told Brandon to go to his father. That he had the answers. But, when he finally was able to reach him, he just begged Brandon for release. And that's how this issue ends, with Brandon laying across his father's bed, crying, as he unplugs to machines keeping him alive. Cool story, and cool concept. Just hope they can keep the momentum going.
