This seems to be an unsung star of the DC line - I'm not seeing a whole lot being written about it. I'm on Vol. 1 and Peter Milligan is hitting an awesome stride on issue 4. He's got some great insights into the character, particularly Deadman - which I had never really paid attention to before. It makes me want to go out and read other Deadman stories, even if they're not DC continuity any longer. I also like his take on Constantine and Zatanna.
I was kind of surprised that I would like this - Milligan's run on X-books such as X-Force and X-men was stunningly bad to me. But recently I had read a number of issues he wrote of Batman. He's definitely a lot better when he's writing Morrison-esque, trippy, hallucinogenic magic stuff. He should really stick to his wheelhouse when it comes to this, I think. I love the collection of characters here and he gives them all a unique voice but still retains that crazy insanity that books like this appeal to for me. Can anyone recommend other good Milligan runs? I understand his run near the end of Hellblazer before the New 52 reset was pretty good.
