Resurrection Man #2



This comic is Teen Plus because of the school uniform look.


Why, exactly, would anybody pick up this comic book to read it? Was this guy some kind of cult favorite character? Does he have a personality that's fun to read? Because after the first issue, I've learned he dies and comes back, he gets a special power, and he's compelled to go on missions. But what did I learn about Mitch? Not one fucking thing. Well, maybe he likes to calm babies. And he doesn't want to see people die. That's about it! It was just the first so maybe the next issue will show me why I should like this guy.




Maybe I'm supposed to like him because he kind of looks like Lost's Sawyer.


Mitchell doesn't seem to know anything about himself. That's probably why the reader doesn't get to know anything about him either! He finds out he's in Portland because his father was left in a care center there. But since that time, his father has died. Mitch doesn't remember him. Mitch is like the protagonist of most modern day Computer Role Playing Games. He doesn't know who he is but it's going to be an adventure finding out!



Mitch meets this guy who supposedly lived down the hall from Mitch's father. I don't buy it! Don't trust him, Mitch! Especially since he likes to point so much! What's up with that?














Now he's got you doing it!


So Mr. Roth (the pointing guy) and Mitch go off to Mr. Roth's room to look up some information on Mitch's dad online. Once there, Mr. Roth makes a stunning revelation!




I called it! I knew he was suspicious!


Back in Arizona, the two women searching for Mitch are hanging out in their underwear in a hotel room gabbing about science or cupcakes or something.




Emphasis hers? Does she speak in BOLD TEXT?


These ladies have some high tech organization (or maybe just a big fat guy) watching search engines for them. They're alerted to an I.P. address in Portland searching for Mitch Shelley. They call in to their high tech tech guys and are teleported just outside Mitch's father's daycare.



These two women kill him pretty easily. Once they realize he can turn into water and their bullets aren't doing anything to him, they electrocute him. I don't know if that would actually kill someone made of water or not since in no way could that ever be a thing. So, he dies.



After this, Mitch's soul (I think) wakes up in a bleak landscape filled with chalk outlines of his previous corpses. I suppose. And that's the end of issue two!
