DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #8 |
Apr 18, 2023 |
I'm going to go against the current because I wasn't feeling this finale at all. Everything felt rushed and manufactred, like Taylor wrote himself into a corner and didn't know what he wanted out of this miniseries or universe. Dceased left the zombie genre a while ago for some reason (this became a weird crisis event were that has nothign to do with zombies, why?), but in this case it wasn't even clear if he believed in his own premise. The undead gods are easily beaten and so is this Erebos, who basically appears for a couple of pages and then bye. There's some last minute sacrifice that happens... Just because, I guess? It happens so that Taylor can desperately try to infuse some emotion into this lifeless sequel, but it frankly doesn't work that well because the story is just so randomized at this point. And it leaves so many plot points left haning there it's weird this is supposed to be a super-conclusive ending, I also feel the person that got to be sacrificed didn't feel that important in this plot for the landing to stick. Some interactions were nice though. |
