Another decent DCeased book that doesn’t measure up to the first one. Just like The Unkillables, the writing just isn’t as sharp as in the first book. And because this takes place before the end of the first book, we already know what ultimately happens with key characters, so the suspense isn’t there. There’s some enjoyment to be had, so this is still worth a read if you like the series.

Hope At World's End is a lackluster side-story in the DCeased universe. At a high level, it's Jimmy Olsen narrating the battle against undead Black Adam for Ivy's green cage. The story ranges all over the place. D-level characters like Wink and Pied Piper get starring roles. The artwork flows from great to acceptable, then mostly stays near the bottom of the barrel. There are a handful of thrilling scenes, but nothing like the core DCeased narrative, nor even the Dead Planet sequel. Re-read the

A wholly unnecessary look at events, moments, and characters left out of the original DCeased series. It's a book-length deleted scene! Numerous illustrators are roped into providing unimpressive art for this half-hearted cash grab.

DCeased: Hope at World's End collects issues 1-15 of the series written by Tom Taylor with art by Marco Failla, Renato Guedes, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Karl Mostert, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Dustin Nguyen, Trevor Scott, and Jon Somnariva. A story that takes place during the events of the original DCeased in which the heroes of Earth battle an infected Black Adam and an army of the undead. This series was originally published digitally but later collected in trade form. I like the overall narrative of...

It’s Black Adam’s turn to go zombie in the third instalment of DCeased, the series where superheroes deal with the zombie apocalypse by basically doing the same thing in each book: retreat to a safe place then get overrun as some obscure portal-making character portals in zombies behind non-zombie lines to turn them into zombies! Is there hope to be found at the end of the world? Probably. But not before DC crank out one more volume! Tom Taylor’s third DCeased outing, Hope at World’s End, isn’t

I read the singles but didn't want to put them all in my list so I'm glad to see they released this collection.Didn't like it, nope. Not a fan of zombie stories, especially ones like this where some people are immediately turned and others are given the opportunity to talk or hide their infection first. it's not consistent so it always comes off as lazy to me. The fact it's not "just" zombies is kind of neat though. There are some bits that are definitely inspired, it's just that as a whole it's...

I knew nothing about Black Adam prior to reading “Hope At World’s End”, a follow-up to Tom Taylor’s 2019 “DCeased”, which was DC’s attempt at making a superheroes-in-a-zombie-apocalypse story.The only thing I knew about Black Adam is that the Rock is supposedly playing him in an upcoming movie, and that he is somehow related to Shazam.In this series, he’s a bit of a dick, and that’s before he becomes a flesh-eating super-ghoul. Apparently, he’s the dictator of a Middle Eastern country called Kha...

For the most part, this is primarily heroes and people trying to survive and protect other refugees. It's filled with a lot of scenes featuring heroic actions and sacrifices, while in between are those small human moments were people often connect and mature in times of stress. Those little moments are worth more and in this case it mainly focused on the younger trinity: Damian, Jon and Cassie. Some of my favorites are those between Damian and his mom.This continues till the end where it comes d...

Tom Taylor seems to have turned DCeased into a cottage industry with his 4th miniseries. This one takes place between issues #4 and #5 of the original series, fleshing out some moments that were glossed over initially. It's a solid entry but not great. I like that Taylor inserts some of his characters from Suicide Squad: Bad Blood. There's a lot of different artists on this and some of them aren't very good.

It isn’t as yo to par as the regular installments of the series but there are still some surprisingly poignant moments and acts of heroism. In my opinion the super pets issue was one of the best stories in the series.

A bit of a lukewarm addition to the DCeased series. Things felt a little too PG, especially on the back half of those 15 issues. The shift in art style definitely shows that. While trying to add some filler/in between to the moments that transpired in the DCeased event. There were quite a few contradictory moments if you ask me.So far "The Unkillables" has been a better addition.

**full spoilers**#1- Jimmy sees the anti life take over and people becoming zombies, Superman rescues everyone and its upto Jim to record through pics the last valiant effort of all these heroes.#2- Black Adam is saving Kahndaq by taking the extreme step and there is a fun face off with the JL and then he pays the ultimate price.#3- Wally must save the inhabitants of Central City and he does so with the help of Flash family and it has one of the greatest send off moments to Max Mercury!#4- The A...

This installment in the DCeased series was a bit of a mixed bag. There were certain issues that were excellent, but the cartoony art in the second half of the book was wildly inappropriate for the story and subject matter. Hopefully they’ll right the ship in the next book.

Pretty apparent why these bits weren't made into a full-format mini-series in the DCeased line-up. They're okay but not much more, especially the ending copout of "oh, we just decided not to sacrifice ourselves".

Big improvement over Unkillables. Lots of great character interactions.

I don’t think this was entirely necessary. Basically, it’s a lot of the same themes from Dead Planet and the first DCeased installment, but not quite the same heart. It was mostly action scenes, but I did enjoy some of the character interactions. I loved the scenes between Steph and Damian! I wish DC remembered how great their relationship is. I enjoyed Damian finding friends with Cassie and Jon. It was jarring seeing Talia actually act like a mother. Nothing I’ve ever read with Damian portrayed...

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2This is another solid instalment in Tom Taylor’s sprawling DC zombie epic DCeased. This time, this maxi series focuses on the time in between the huge time jump between DCeased #4 and #5, which was just hastily summarized in the latter issue. It focuses not only on some of the more minor heroes and their sacrifices (like the Flash family in a really cool issue) but also on the effort to gather as many survivors as possible and stop Black Adam after the Anti-Life Equation takes him. Whil...

"You will cease . . . to exist. You . . . will fall." -- Black Adam, being compelled by the lasso of truth"Some of us may fall, but not all. And not today." -- Wonder Woman, Amazonian 'til the endI was surprised by the number of lukewarm or 'meh' reviews for this continuation-of-sorts volume, but I guess nothing will quite equal the original DCeased (which, with its topical worldwide-affecting plague narrative, I happened to read just mere weeks before the pandemic put the U.S. in full shutdown

DCeased has had two sequels, so now it's time for an interquel as Tom Taylor puts the focus on the fall of mankind between DCeased and Dead Planet.There's a lot to like here as always - there's a vast cast of characters but they all seem to have something to add to the proceedings. It seems like disparate threads, but everything ties together quite nicely at the end, and I enjoyed the focus on lesser known and/or newer characters like Wink and the Aerie from Taylor's Suicide Squad run.The only r...

i loved getting different perspectives! issue 8 was my favourite <3
