Like most of the series theres an undercurrent of tragedy destined to wipe out the slightest possibility of hope. Taylor knows what hes doing though even if we already know the fates of Superman and company. Fans of DCeased wont want to miss this digital only series that feels in some very interesting gaps in the overall story. Read Full Review
Since DCeased debuted, we've all been clamoring for more from this universe. There's a follow-up mini-series on the way and Unkillables, a short tie-in, just wrapped up. DCeased: Hope at World's End is a nice surprise full of scares, heart, and so much bloodshed. It's a welcome addition to this franchise and I can't wait for more. Read Full Review
I highly recommend any fans of the DCeased Universe to give this issue a read. It's not necessarily must-read material, but I think this issue is worth the price and sets a standard for the book going forward. Read Full Review

DC Digital are doing a great job of bringing good quality stuff out, and this is definitely a prime example. Great price point too. Excellent start to this story, and gap filling for the broader DCeased universe. Read Full Review
But just like with Unkillables, if you liked the original series and want something to hold you over until Dead Planet gets here this will definitely do the job. Read Full Review
DCeased: Hope at World's End Chapter 1 isn't bad at all. It's actually quite good. But, the timing of the release and some of what's written echoes reality a bit too closely. It's hard to take Superman as a serious hero when we have them front and center today. The escapism is marked by a dose of truth. Read Full Review
For those whose superhero-zombie itch hasn't been sufficiently scratched by Taylor's Unkillables series, DCeased: Hope at World's End #1 will likely be a good way to hold you over until DCeased: Dead Planet hits the scene. Taylor continues to find new angles to explore this bleak new world, and Nguyen proves to be one of the most interesting artists to tackle this fallen universe of rampaging titans. Clocking in at just a dollar, DCeased: Hope at World's End #1 feels like an Anti-Life Equation for success. Read Full Review
Tom Taylor and Dustin Nguyen are giving us a new digital-first series set in the DCeased Universe, and I am already excited. While this first chapter is a bit of recap from the original DCeased story, seeing it through the eyes of Jimmy Olsen makes it feel fresh. Also, it's nice to get up to speed before venturing forward, especially since the cliffhanger looks badass. If you need some DCeased action to tide you over until Dead Planet hits, or want a new Digital First book from Tom Taylor, you can't go wrong with DCeased: Hope at World's End Chapter One.

Seeing characters you've loved for decades die is always harrowing, but despite the violence, horror and chaos, every issue of this set of stories has always ended leaving us with a sense of hope. Out of canon continuity books like this one allow for fresh and innovative storytelling: Batman and Superman can never die in their own mainstream books " at least not permanently " so seeing them perish in these tales really hits hard. DCeased: Hope at World's End #1.1 is a very promising start to this digital series, and I look forward to reading more. Read Full Review
Prelude:
DCeased has been great and here's yet another series for it. Let's see how this one goes.
The Good:
Jimmy is a great character to get some outsider perspective through.
Nguyen's art is great.
Really good character moments.
The Bad:
Small thing but DC, can you stop it with the "[Name] War"'s?
Conclusion:
It's a very emotional issue showing a more civilian side to DCeased. Great job from Taylor.
" Tomorrow could be our last day. "
- JIMMY OLSEN
Much like Unkillables #3, this was fine. Luckily, Tom Taylor is no stranger to the format so this was well paced unlike The Adventures Continue. I just don't really care about any of this?
This was pretty solid but nothing too special. Did it need to be made? Probably not.
