Boston Brand (also known as Deadman) is attempting to pull off a trick after his co-workers John and Mary Grayson and their son Dick have done theirs. Brand intentionally outdoes theirs to show off. Afterwards Dick and his parents help with the packing and cleaning of the circus, but Boston declines to lend a hand, saying that he can not risk tearing his costume, or possibly injuring one of his hands, because if he did there would be no show. As the Graysons walk away, they discuss how much of an ego they think Boston has. A while later the Graysons join the resistance against the Atlantean/Amazon war. When the circus gets attacked by Amazons Mary and John are killed, and Boston has to protect Dick.

The series was written by J.T. Krul, with Mikel Janin doing illustrations for the first issue, but the second and third saw art duties being taken over by Fabrizio Fiorentino. Cliff Chiang served as editor during all three issues.
