Resurrection Man (2011) is a two-volume DC Comics series by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, published as part of the New 52 line relaunch that relaunched 52 DC titles with new number-one issues in September 2011. The series returned Mitch Shelley to ongoing publication, retaining the premise of a man who cannot die permanently and gains a new superpower with each resurrection.

The New 52 version ran for twelve issues before cancellation, collecting into the two volumes listed below. The series maintained the dark tone of the original while fitting into the New 52 continuity, which reset much of the DC Universe’s history. Abnett and Lanning brought back their original creation and used the new platform to explore Shelley’s origins and the supernatural forces pursuing him with a fresh set of readers in mind.

Both volumes are listed in the reading order table below. Readers who want the full picture of the character should begin with the 1997 original series first.
