Here's how DC describes the issue:
"Combining over-the-top action and brain-tingling speculation, this is Deadman as only Vertigo could deliver in an ongoing series about sex and string theory; parapsychology and political conspiracy; where the 'wonder years' and the afterlife are just two dimensions of the same reality.
" Brandon Cayce is cocky young pilot for a major airline who likes to fly right and party all night. With his older brother Scott at the controls, Brandon is 'deadheading' a free flight with a hangover that won't quit. Without warning, Scott deliberately crashes the plane into a downtown London skyscraper. Brandon is killed in a horrifying wreck, along with everyone on board.
"And his day only gets worse from there.
"To survive his own demise, Brandon must confront these riddles head-on, until he realizes that the person with the answers may be his late brother's own wife -- a woman he once loved himself. And when he encounters her again, he finds that his love for her is one part of himself that will never die."
Deadman #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

In a U.S.A. uncomfortably like our own, that task falls to The Boys, a government-funded group of operatives dedicated to keeping the 'supes' in line."
