From the moment Ram V and Anand R’s Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma landed, it’s been delivering hit after hit, and issue #3 not only maintains that momentum but elevates the series to something truly special.
Right from the start, Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #3 pulls you in with a mesmerizing mix of big ideas and intense action. The issue opens with a breathtaking conversation between Mitch and the mysterious Phantom Stranger, set against a stunning, star-filled backdrop drawn by artist Jackson “Butch” Guise. It’s a visual feast that perfectly sets the tone. Then, the story dives deep into Mitch’s past, revealing how a prehistoric meteor granted him, and a familiar face, Vandal Savage thier immortality and other unique abilities. This historical flashback is seamlessly woven with a poignant interlude set in 1984, featuring Mitch and Rhea. Here, writer Ram V explores profound philosophical concepts about the universe and humanity’s role in it, making grand ideas remarkably easy to grasp.
The tension ratchets up dramatically with Vandal Savage’s brutal return, forcing Mitch to use newly manifested duplicating powers in an exhilarating confrontation. As Rhea gets closer to finishing her “Fractal Microverse” model, the story hurtles towards a series of gripping events, all leading to the perfectly timed return of the enigmatic Gashadokuro.

This comic is wonderful; it’s the kind of comic that makes you want to live within its pages forever. It reads like poetry, feels like a dream, and most importantly, it has something deeply meaningful to say about life, love, family, friendship, strangers, and the world itself. Where else can you find a touching poem from a deceased WWII father to his daughter while two immortal “brother” cavemen duke it out? This comic is way “out there” but also incredibly intimate, and that’s precisely why it’s so great.
Anand R’s art is nothing short of spectacular, maintaining its consistent brilliance across all three issues. He’s a master at blending abstract forms with light brushstrokes without ever losing impact or weight. You’ll see this in early scenes with Savage, and it’s especially prominent in later pages, like his sequence of interconnected cubes, dicing and slicing in perfect sync, like a beautiful prism of vibrant colors. Honestly, words can’t capture his artistic genius – you just have to experience it for yourself. Coupled with the art, Aditya Bidikar’s lettering continues to impress, creatively using panels as words and vice versa, blanketing the panels with word power and adding another layer to the creative storytelling this series offers.
