DC Vs Vampires: The main series? Great! The backups in this? Pretty good too. The main story for this spin-off? It's mostly ok like you say. It seems to be picking up as it advances, hopefully it sticks the landing.
One of the last secret, underground human cities is facing total annihilation and its leader-John Constantine-must plan a suicide mission to assassinate a key lieutenant in the vampire empire! Against unreal odds and with an unlikely team including Booster Gold, Deathstroke, and Mary Marvel, does the Hellblazer have one more trick up his sleeve? A gritty, violent, monochromatic companion series to DC vs. Vampires, this series will feature a brutal story with a cadre of talented creators delivering 32 pages of original content!
DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1 is fun and works as a must-read side chapter to the main event. It also captures the many eclectic voices while establishing new threats, dangers, and stakes for a motley crew of heroes and villains. It not only utilizes the main conceit of DC vs. Vampires well but runs with it in exciting ways. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a good start and the horror scenes are effective, although most of the characters feel fairly disposable so far. The story is at its best when it's keeping us in suspense about who can be trusted, and there are several great fight scenes and jump scares in here that remind me of what makes the main series so good.

DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1 is a solid addition to the overall story. It tackles what else is going on with events that wouldn't fit in the main series, not just in length but with the narrative itself. It shows a side mission that's pretty vital to the overall event and answers some questions as well as opening up some intriguing possibilities. Read Full Review
Reading this tie-in series requires investment in DC vs. Vampires up to this point. Despite the title, this book isn't exactly an "all-out war. All-Out War would rather focus on the lives of those left to fight and survive in the aftermath of war. The theme or artwork may not be enough to win over anyone not buying the narrative. Some may find Deathstroke randomly becoming a disciple of Batman interesting, but it is out of character. Overall, some of these tie-ins are working, and some are struggling to justify their existence. I'm giving All-Out War a chance, and hoping I won't regret it. Read Full Review
It's paced quickly enough that there's little tedium, but there's also little to invest in characters written as archetypes. There is simply more of the same, albeit with a bit less color, here. Read Full Review
Deathstroke leading a band of survivors in the vampire world makes sense. Hes the ultimate survivor. There are enough weak spots with the execution and the color choice that this is probably a side story not worth adding to the DC vs. Vampires essential reading list. Read Full Review
I really liked the choice of characters for this series. Deathstroke, Midnighter, Azrael, and so many unique DC characters!
Haven't read he main series but this was a competent set-up issue. I like the artwork and designs and I'm intrigued to see where it goes from here.
Yes, I went in expecting nothing from this comic. Oh, boy, how wrong I was.
This "survivors trapped/living in hiding" type of narrative is very well used, how they are surviving feels very believable. Need to tip my hat here due to the attention to detail. Deathstroke however was my biggest surprise here, the character is very well utilized, his plan is very cohesive with the character. Azrael story was the highlight, there's is a lot of potential for him in this series and seeing him with Bane makes it even better. The humor was another thing that worked really well. Same needs to be said about the artwork. The ending hypes up the next issue, but regardless of that, I'm definitely going to be excited whenever a new issue from this se more
The art started off so good, the moment action starts though and it got really muddy it was difficult to tell who was who and what was what for some moments.
Storywise it is alright, the back half I felt was more interesting.
For the lore some interesting points are brought up but I am unsure what they're gonna plan to do from here. Don't know if I'll continue this one.
DC vs Vampires feels like the Earth 3 to DCeased. DCeased was ok but it was the side books that were amazing and seems we're getting the inverse here.
