DCeased (comic)

12 on Beast World #1 reviewThe first major challenge Gardner Fox presents for his Justice League in Brave In The Bold #28 (1960) is the conqueror, Starro. Throughout the decades, Starro would return, even reincarnating as the innocent "Jarro" in Scott Snyder's No Justice (2018). After the Justice League disbanded, it makes sense to christen the Titans with their own…
DCeased finally reaches the end of its five year long tragedy. As death comes to the worlds of the multiverse, only the brave heroes of Earth-2 stand on the front lines. Granted, will be there any kind of life to salvage if the heroes manage to prevail? The Final Battle Originally, Darkseid's pursuit of the…
The penultimate chapter of DCeased: War of the Undead Gods has begun! Every story thread spun from the beginning finally leads into a big conflict. As Darkseid and the forces of Anti-living reach Earth-2, the good guys make their desperate last stand. After Alfred Pennyworth made the choice to kill the final members of his…
In the newest issue of Undead Gods, two cosmic forces get into an unexpected stare down while the true evil grows stronger. No matter what happens, each action seems to bring readers closer and closer to an inevitably morbid conclusion. In my last review, I openly questioned the point of this series. I can only…
At the midway point of the story, the heroes have become unsure how to address the upcoming threat. As the Unliving Darkseid tears through the universe collecting stronger assets, the survivors sadly find it difficult to unite. I've been trying to figure out the hook of DCeased. Beyond the gratuity of bloodshed and morbid violence,…
This chapter of Tom Taylor's Undead Gods eases off the pedal and focuses on how Anti-life is developing in the wider universe. As the threat continues to grow in the background, heroes, villains, and gods prepare to face the dark forces or perish! Most of the narrative weight rests on the shoulders of three characters.…
War Of The Undead Gods continues with an unbelievable sophomore issue. Just as the world’s heroes have begun attempting to rebuild their world, a new foe has emerged to threaten their universe at large. While not as tragic or violent as expected, Undead Gods once again instills the fear of Darkseid to the DCUniverse. I…
Transported to an elseworlds of brutal illustrations and onomatopoeias. A "what if" journey limited only by the breadth of the imagination. This is DCeased: War of The Undead Gods. I confess, I'm not that into DCeased as a series. I gave up on it early on as the DC universe began to fall into despair.…
DC's Anti-Life Equation is getting all sorts of attention lately following its discussion in Zack Snyder's Justice League. How it manifests changes somewhat depending on the author, but in the DCeased story, the Anti-Life Equation became corrupted when DeSaad tried to combine the part of the equation stored inside Cyborg with the part he had.…
While Batman has always been a profitable character for DC Comics, 2019 has been particularly generous to the caped crusader. In a not-so-surprising announcement, Diamond Comic Distributors (the world's largest comic book distributor) has placed DC's wildly successful Detective Comics #1000 at the top of the sales charts for all of 2019! This marks the second…
And so we arrive at DCeased’s conclusion. This has been a fast-paced series, and that pacing has been a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, Taylor can’t afford to waste a single panel and has chosen his story beats wisely, but on the other hand, this is a typical case where clearly the…
Since issue #4’s cliffhanger, I have been wondering where Taylor and Hairsine are taking this story, and I can safely say that, after reading #5, I still have no clue. What I do know is that this issue is crazy. A rollercoaster ride. So, let’s waste no time and have a look. DCeased, as a…
Tom Taylor’s DCeased miniseries has been an equally entertaining and emotional rollercoaster ride through an apocalyptic, zombie-infested DC Universe. While the latest issue of the main series left us with one helluva cliffhanger, we take a sidestep this month to check in with a few other characters that aren’t featured as prominently in the main…
Although I’ve criticized elements of DCeased, it’s, on the whole, been consistently good, and the Superman scenes—particularly the emotional scenes in the previous issue involving Pa Kent—are outstanding, making me wish that Tom Taylor was either the main writer on Superman or Action Comics or both. This issue picks up where the previous one left…
So far DCeased has been a fun book. Taylor has done a great job setting up the story in the first two issues, and even though I have been somewhat critical of certain aspects, I think it’s been a solid book for the most part. Last issue we left off with an exciting cliffhanger, where…
Tom Taylor is a really good writer. He can tell big stories that involve the entire DCU, and he can tell stories on a much smaller, personal level, too. No matter which type of story he writes, there is always room for humor, heartfelt moments, and tragedy. The second issue of DCeased has all of…
When DCeased was first announced I wasn’t incredibly excited, but I also wasn’t opposed to the idea. Of course the concept of a zombie apocalypse taking place in a superhero universe isn’t anything new—both Marvel Zombies (which I never read but I know it exists) and Blackest Night come to mind. I enjoyed Blackest Night…
Since its announcement a few months back, Tom Taylor’s DCeased has become one of the most highly anticipated series of 2019. I mean, sure, you could look at it as “just another zombie story,” but this is from the guy who wrote Injustice. That could have been “just another video game tie-in,” yet he turned…
It started with the hashtag #DCeased and the ominous phrase “Darkseid was.” Now, after a week of cryptic tweets, Tom Taylor has finally spilled the beans about DCeased: he’s writing a DC Universe zombie story. For the record, I totally called it. Yes, the mysterious DCeased is another apocalyptic, out of continuity epic from the mind…
