DC Universe Presents #3

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, DC Universe Presents #3 spotlights Boston Brand — the ghostly hero Deadman — as the cover boldly asks about his "final fate." Ryan Sook's cover art depicts a determined, chalk-white Deadman in his red costume crouching over a stack of ancient books, urgently paging through one, while a monstrous winged creature clutching a tome looms above him amid bursts of flame. Writer Paul Jenkins and artist Bernard Chang bring their three-part story to a close with this issue, and the cover's tension-filled imagery makes it easy to see why this arc has fans paying close attention.
