DCeased War of Undead Gods looks to bring the same high level of tragedy and heroic deeds that have made this series such a killer franchise for DC. I'm all set for what's sure to be an emotionally heavy ride this fall. Read Full Review

Taylor instantly reminds us why DCeased is a blockbuster franchise for DC. War of the Undead Gods hits the ground running with high stakes and huge scope. Read Full Review

It still feels like there's so much more story to explore here, although I do have to say Taylor's biggest competition may be himselfas good as this is, Dark Knights of Steel is definitely his crown jewel by the time this returns. Read Full Review

DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods #1 starts the final chapter of the saga with a bang. We get action, violence, and a ton of emotion; tears of pain and regret, as well as those of joy. I'll be buying every issue, and picking up the hardcover collected edition too, just so that it can join its predecessors on my bookshelf. Read Full Review

Fans looking for a DC universe that is coherent and willing to embrace its legacy without abandon should pick up this series, along with those interested in the intersection of the Superfamily and New Gods. On its own, War of the Dead Gods is a fun read but will benefit from going back and reading the other titles in the DCeased universe. Read Full Review

I think my niche on Batman-News is being the DCU war journalist. Nearly every title I have covered so far has featured some kind of "war. As an newfound expert on war, I think this doesn't do a bad job setting up the potential clash. Instigating a big arc right after a happy ending is a pretty brutal choice, and I am convinced that makes Tom Taylor a sadist. In any case, the artwork is mostly solid, and the story seems to be on the right track. I want to see more war and gods next time, but I cannot undervalue the big beats of character connections.

DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #1doesn't quite justify why DCeased required another series. Read Full Review

DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #1 is a strong start to the final chapter of the DCeased Universe. This first issue acts as a good follow-up to DCeased: Dead Planet while setting the stage for an exciting narrative around the frightening and powerful threat that the Anti-Living New Gods are set up to be. While there is one concerning character choice made here I do trust Tom Taylor and Trevor Hairsine will deliver a powerful conclusion to the narrative they have crafted together. Read Full Review

DCEASED: WAR OF THE UNDEAD GODS #1 is a pretty solid opener based solely on the story beats and plot threads laid out in the initial narrative. It's straightforward, easy to follow, and will take fans on a nice rollercoaster of emotions while checking many of the DCEASED boxes you've grown to love. Read Full Review

Despite some issues with art at a further distance, this latest installment to the "DCeased story definitely is worth the look. Read Full Review

A pretty fun issue. Supergirl is now infected and now the heroes know the dead gods are coming

fun and solid

Supes cure was way to easy.

I kinda liked this issue but I think that it felt rushed at some points like the stuff with brainiac and the reveal felt like it should've the end of issue 2 or 3. And the stuff with the inflected superman i wish it had more importance to it. The previous series hint at him having a bigger role and being a more important part of the story as a threat not something that's resolved this fast and felt like the whole building up to it was for nothing for the most part. The art still isn't of my liking. Personally I'd put the artist of the task force z book on this considering they seem to capture gore Better at least imo.

This was inexcusably anticlimatic.

This issue fell very short of expectations because it discarded the story that was being built up until this moment.

Instead of an interesting clash between Superman, who was supposedly much more powerful and this dangerous from all the time he was in the sun and his son, we see the problem being solved without any kind of difficult and the narration still has the gall to try to pretend something exciting is happening.

This wouldn't be a problem if the rest of the series hadn't presented the zombie Superman as a formidable threat waiting to happen. You can't just ignore such an important plot point (that the readership is invested in, IT WAS EVEN THE CLIMAX OF THE FIRST SERIES!) because it destroys the trust in your story and lets me think you're playing with "anything goes" rules.

Beyond that, the choices for the zombies aren't very itneresting either. SUre "Zombie Gods" is the thing that sounds cool on paper, but in practice they don't behave much different from other superpowered zombies in this series, with the minus that our characters don't have a personal connection to any of them. more
