For a little while now, I've speculated that the Deadman story was merely a device through which we were seeing the Rebirth of the other heroes involved in Brightest Day. The previous issue almost cemented this for me by clearly having one main story and a little tag-on of things happening with Deadman. The change in storytelling is clearly a new decision, just judging by the original solicitation for these two issues.
What the creative team in this issue did was prove my speculation wrong. Here they finally give the spotlight back to Deadman, and show just how amazing he is and that he does deserve to be included in the Rebirth stories with everyone else. The story is great. The Entity confronts Boston head-on, showing him that he needs to pick up and quit whining, to remember what he learned in his time as Deadman, the superhero, and how far he's come from Deadman, the circus performer and daredevil. The art is great as well, and in fact the artist who has been working on Deadman's stories has been giving him some great facial expressions.
The end scene with Dove leaves a question open, as to whether it has to do with Boston himself or the white entity (and I'll leave what I'm talking about open here, so I'm not outright spoilery). This is a great issue, and overall I've been liking this series. I'm more excited, in a sense, to see the direction this heads. While I probably would have liked to see the stories collected and told individually, the reality is that we as consumers wouldn't be ready to buy them. Brightest Day is giving that opportunity to all these characters to show their worth.
One last bit of speculation, which has become my favorite hobby: if all the characters are getting some stories told, ongoing or mini, following this series, then perhaps Boston Brand's is the "other lantern book" that Johns hinted at in interviews some time back. Dead/Aliveman, wielding the white ring. :shrugs: I'd buy it.
Art: 5 - Excellent
