There's trouble in paradise. Literally! There's a demon priest currently residing in Nanda Parbat. He was once a mortal that worshipped the gods of death. He prayed his humanity away. He goes by Siva Anuttara. But that's not the worst part. When he went to Nanda Parbat he capture Rama Kushna in his amulet. Now her powers are intertwined with his. Basically, he can control the souls of the inhabitants of the Himalayan village. He's turning them in to ghost assassins. They can possess bodies like Boston Brand, Deadman, but the bodies they inhabit die instantly. Anyways, what Siva wants is to send these spectral assassins out into the world to spread chaos and wipe out the human race. They're starting with the cities that are majorly devastated already. Which is how they've come to be in Star City. However, without Boston's intervention, Ollie probably wouldn't have known what was going on until it was far to late. They know that it would be a never-ending battle if they just tried to keep fighting the soldiers. So . . they're taking the fight to the general. They're going straight to the horse's mouth . . as it were . . and try confronting Siva in Nanda Parbat. But then, once they enter the city and Boston separates from Ollie . . . Ollie shoots him and throws him over the cliff. This looks to be an interesting story by Mark Waid. Next issue, Nightwing and Hawkman join the fray. I also am a fan of Scott Kolins artwork. He was a pretty decent artist before, but then when he went on the Flash series he tweaked his style a little bit. At first I wasn't sure, but . . I really grew to like it. That's also the style that he's using here. This is only the first issue of the story-arc, so where it goes from here is anyone's guess. But I think this should be a pretty interesting series of events. Plus . . . Deadman, Boston Brand, is one of my favorite characters of all time. So any story with him involved . . shoots up my list of 'must haves'. I'm really diggin' the relaunch of this series.
