The child of Mister Miracle and Big Barda has been heralded as the only one capable of ending the war between vampires and humans...or so Granny Goodness says. Has her savior narrative just been a smoke screen for the arrival of Darkseid?
Overall, DC Vs. Vampires: World War V #7 is a masterfully crafted chapter that amplifies the tension and dread of this apocalyptic war. It raises profound questions about hope, manipulation, and the true nature of evil, leaving readers anxiously awaiting the final confrontation. Read Full Review
DC vs Vampires: World War V #7 takes another step into B-movie territory and subsequently ups the entertainment value by a significant margin. However, the fact that the plot has become an afterthought, the characterization absurd, and the vampires continue to remain hair-tearingly inconsistent, means it's highly unlikely all of this will come together satisfactorily.

While the addition of these cosmic figures quickly strips away much of the horror vibe of this comic and brings it closer to the tone of the later issues of DCeased, it also takes out a good deal of the tension but the cliffhanger reveals what's going on with one of the biggest dangling plot threads of the series.

While DC vs. Vampires: World War V #7 thrives on sheer action and high stakes, it occasionally struggles with clarity and redundancy, but it remains a thrilling and brutal entry in the series. Read Full Review
A thrilling return for the series that shakes up the status quo in a big way for this second half.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I was afraid this would get too much "event-itis" so to speak, where the action completely overrides the story, but I have to say, I think this worked really well. Better than many actual events honestly.
The vampires finally have to face a threat themselves and Darkseid first impression is very, very strong. This three-way fight (though obviously both vampires and humans will have to cooperate, because their objective is the same: save their planet) shows a lot of promise. The caos is great to see, and we see both factions start figuring out their situation.
And the characters being given little moments work very well. Green Arrow figuring out a plan to retreat. Mary and Kara saving them. Eve more
Liking that the change of pace hasn't really chnged the tone of the series, the scheming and dynamics are still very fun.
I have no idea why this series is still going on. Though this issue has plenty of action, the story doesn't move forward at all. The artwork continues to be uninspired. There are several panels that I can't even tell what's going on. They are going to drag this out for 5 more issues just to have 12 issues. I thought this was ending at issue 8. I'm not sure I'll keep going to 12.
