DCeased: DC Zombies

[sdsichero]

Looks like the DCeased event will involve Marvel DC Zombies. Of course it will involve Batman.

A fast-spreading virus. People instantly turning violent. The world consumed by blood, panic, and death. This isn’t the latest installment of The Walking Dead but a new six-issue DC Comics event starting May 1 called DCeased, spearheaded by writer Tom Taylor with artists Trevor Hairsine, Stefan Gaudiano, James Harren and Rain Beredo. If you recognize Taylor’s name from the mega hit Injustice, then you already know DC’s characters are in for a really, really rough time.

This story takes place outside main DC continuity, which gives it free reign to do whatever it wants… including rack up a high body count.

DCeased kicks off when, thanks to Darkseid, a techno-organic virus infects the world’s networks and spreads to some 600 million people through anything with a screen. Those affected try to remove the virus from their minds by scratching and ripping at their own flesh. But once the virus takes hold, they essentially become a rage zombie. Of course we know that Batman has a plan in place for virtually every disaster you could imagine, but this pandemic might be more than even the Dark Knight could have ever prepared for.

All joking aside, I kinda love this cover:

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the din of people declaring DC doesn't have to copy Marvel...

I too love that cover.  Not enough to actually buy or read this nonsense, but still.

Buy it?! Ha, no. I do, however, think that the odds that one of the Super Sons is infected with the virus and come back as a grizzled mercenary to warn the heroes, is incredibly high.

Good copy of one the movie posters for It.

Great cover! I liked Injustice enough to give this a decent shot.

An Elseworlds story by the fellow who helped with Injustice? I am in.

Wow, something else from the guy responsible for the completely original Injustice, I can't wait not to buy it.  Oh, and he's ripping something else off, so bonus points.  I can't wait for his story where Batman makes a deal with the devil to...oh, wait.  But at least there will be a huge body count, with lots of dead superheroes.

Waaaa!  There's no Power Girl.  Waaaa!  Dan Didio looked at me!   Waaaa!

So there.

Naw, it was Herald that Dan Didio looked at.  I've fortunately never had the pleasure.  And as long as DC wants to continue to suck, I'm happier with then keeping PG out of it, aside from those weird cover appearances she does despite being officially in limbo.  Hopefully, she'll continue to stay the hell out of Heroes in Suck, despite being weirdly in a cover or two there.
