Deadman #4

In "Murder Haunts the Midway," Deadman uses his brother Cleveland's body to swing through the circus midway, a fleeting moment of memory and motion that pulls him back to the moment he became a ghost. When a gunshot cuts through the air, Deadman must not only survive the attack but track down the killer—only to face a chilling twist when the shooter takes their own life under his influence. The mystery deepens with whispers of Russian operatives and a desperate mission tied to Cleveland’s wife.

In "The Canvas Inferno!", Deadman drifts through the smoke and echoes of a burning circus, drawn back to the only home he’s ever known. As flames consume the big top, he races to protect his niece, Jo, from the inferno—while an old man’s captivity and a looming sale threaten to erase everything.

In "Pursuit!", Deadman digs into the dark secrets of the traveling circus, uncovering a sinister connection to Mr. Solomon. As he helps Alexi Kronsky break free from Solomon’s grip, the pieces begin to click—especially when Kronsky arrives and reveals a shocking link to Inga, the wife of the late Cleveland Brand.

In "The Sins of the Father--!", Deadman confronts a chilling revelation when he discovers that his new sister-in-law’s father has created a machine capable of turning thought into matter. When Mr. Solomon and his men assault the circus to claim it, Alexi Kronsky steps in—only to leave Deadman wondering if the power itself has begun to unravel Kronsky’s mind.

In "Mind Over Murder!", Deadman teams up with his circus allies to confront the unstable Alexi Kronsky, whose mind is a battlefield of rage and delusion. When Deadman attempts to reclaim a physical form by possessing Inga Brand, the fragile plan unravels—just as Mr. Solomon’s enforcer closes in on the fateful helmet. With the circus folk standing between chaos and control, the fate of the helmet hangs in the balance.

In "Requiem for a Deadman!" from Deadman #4 (2014), the spectral hero is drawn to STAR Laboratories, where occult experiments are underway. There, he finds himself caught in a psychic clash between warring telepaths, testing his fragile grip on the living world.
