As a part of the acclaimed DC Comics—The New 52 event of September 2011, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning return to life Resurrection Man! Mitch Shelley cannot die—constantly returning to life after every death with a brand new power. But what is the secret behind this gift/curse? As Mitch follows clues, he begins to discover how much of a pawn he is in a cosmic game of life and death! Collects issues #1-7.

"Originally published in single magazine form in Resurrection Man 0, 8-12; Suicide Squad 9."

Every time Mitch Shelly is killed, he returns to life with a different superpower and the compulsion to use that power for good, but has trouble completing that purpose--let alone sitting down to figure out why he's been so blessed/cursed. Instead, he's pursued by the glamorous but airheaded Body Double, a pair of murderous sociopaths who want to capture him, and by Suriel, Special Angel Taskforce, who wants to send his soul on to the afterlife.

Resurrection Man is the story of an angel raised among mortals, reluctant to use his powers but ultimately compelled to fulfill his fate. It is an ambitious story that confirms Sean Stewart's growing reputation as "a new voice as distinctive as any in SF" (Robert Charles Wilson).

Ghostly hero Deadman inhabits those who need his help in order to achieve salvation himself, and after the cast and crew of a reality television series survive a near-death experience, they gain entry to a world of magic and mysticism.
