I have mixed feelings about "Freaks Must Die," the 10th story in the Dead Man series.The story is well written.  I love the new characters that were added - the Freaks.But, out of the six stories I have read to date (The Dead Man Vol 1 (Face of Evil, Ring of Knives, Hell in Heaven)andThe Dead Man Vol 2 (The Dead Woman, Blood Mesa, Kill Them All), I felt this one is the least aligned with the series.  Matt, the protagonist, plays less of a leading role in this episode and we do not see any of the special qualities that he attained when he lived through the avalanche.  We do get some more background on the University, which is helpful.  And I wouldn't mind seeing some of the Freaks again in future stories but the series is about Matt and his axe - let's get back to the basics.
