Dark Crisis: War Zones #1 is the most consistent, and strongest of the Dark Crisis tie-ins thus far, taking the theme of legacy and spinning out five interesting stories beyond the Justice League. Theres no weak link in the five stories, and each one delivers at least one excellent narrative or artist decision that sells the story. The issue is a great sampling for those not reading Dark Crisis but might want to see a different perspective compared to the main title. Its also a great sampling of what may come next for the DC Universe post-Dark Crisis, with its emphasis on legacy and new characters. Read Full Review
Overall, all five of these stories are enjoyable, but really only the first seems like a must-read. Read Full Review
With solid art, action, and spotlights on some small-name heroes from DC's deep bench of talent, Dark Crisis: War Zone #1 provides a cross-section of what's going on across the DC Universe during the climactic battle at the Hall of Justice, with just a tease of what's to come next year.

This anthology has strong bookends and adequate filler stories. Its not essential to the main story, but offers some decent glimpses at how the war effort is playing out against Pariah on multiple fronts. Read Full Review
Overall, Blade: Vampire Nation is a different take on the vampire genre, as it feels like Robert Harris Fatherland, but with bloodsuckers. The story by Russell is pure crime noir. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story that readers will enjoy for its many nods to some cultural touchpoints. Read Full Review
Dark Crisis: War Zone #1 is entirely skippable. And what's worse is that I don't know what new or pertinent information is gained by this comic towards the event. Furthermore, it's also not what was entirely advertised. Read Full Review
Some are definitely better than others Iris West and Linda Park get a fun interaction, Jim Corrigan and The Spectre have reunited which feels like it will be a bigger deal later on and we get to see Red Canary finally meet Black Canary after following-up on what happened in The Dark Army one-shot.

Dark Crisis: War Zone #1 was a mixed bag. That is to be expected with an issue comprised of five different eight-page stories. In the end, Dark Crisis: War Zone #1 costs a whopping $6.00. It is absolutely not at all worth the price of admission. This certainly feels like a cash grab. I would pass on this issue. There is nothing in Dark Crisis: War Zone #1 that is necessary to read in order to enjoy the main Dark Crisis event. Read Full Review
Fun read. Makes big battle win in main story less trope-y.
its alright to be honest.
Five good stories but none of them really matters
I wished this was good, but this is another tie-in that doesn't matter at all...
