The horror and chaos continues …
What happened so far …
When Darkseid came to Earth and was defeated by the Justice League, he retired. In the process, he kidnapped Cyborg, in whose heart he implemented a techno-organic virus that is transmissible through the Internet and blood. Back on Earth, the virus spreads rapidly and quickly claims first victims. Batman is attacked by the infected Tim Drake / Red Robin and Dick Grayson / Nightwing …
While Superman flies with Lois, his son Jon and Damian Wayne aka Robin to the Daily Planet to use the analogue communication systems, Harley Quinn „separates“ (again) from the Joker, Aquaman is attacked by Infected and Hal Jordan goes along Camping with friends. However, when Hal goes to his phone, he gets infected and attacks his friends Green Arrow and Black Carnary. After a brief but tough battle, Black Carnary finally kills Hal Jordan and becomes an unwanted Green Lantern. When Superman arrives at the scene, there’s a quick chat with Batman before the virus finally gets the upper hand …
Dceased issue 2 is based on the same strengths as the first edition and continues to expand. Especially the scene with Aquaman at the beginning illustrates the gloomy atmosphere of the series perfectly and everything that has to do with Green Lantern forms the optical highlight of the issue. In general, optics and staging are among the great strengths of Dceased.
All in all, Dceased # 2 is worth reading and pleases by the plot as well as the great drawing style. The horror genre is really good for the DC heroes and villains!
That‘s from my side. We read in the next post!
