THE BEST-SELLING WORLD OF DC VS. VAMPIRES RETURNS WITH A BRAND-NEW ELSEWORLDS SERIES! It’s the dead of winter, and any hope for a fragile truce between the Green Arrow-led human heroes and vampire queen Barbara Gordon’s army has been dashed by Damian Wayne and his guerrilla fighters. He’s the only one fighting back against the bloodthirsty hordes, leaving Green Arrow with a choice: Does he stand and fight or sacrifice the boy in the name of peace

DC vs. Vampires – World War V #1 catapults readers into a dystopian world where the battle between humans and vampires is on the brink of total annihilation. This latest installment in the DC vs. Vampires saga continues to blend the dark allure of vampire horror with the high-octane action of superhero comics, delivering a thrilling start to what promises to be an epic miniseries.


Writer Matthew Rosenberg expertly captures the sense of hopelessness and tension, while also injecting moments of fierce resistance and determination from the surviving heroes. Oliver Queen, Black Canary and John Constantine shine from a character development standpoint. There is raw intensity as they grapple with the overwhelming odds against them. The moral dilemmas faced by both sides add an extra layer of intrigue, making it clear that in this war, there are no easy choices.


Otto Schmidt’s artwork is nothing short of spectacular. The grim, dark aesthetic perfectly matches the tone of the story. Schmidt excels in illustrating both the brutal combat scenes and the quieter, more emotional moments. His use of shadow and light accentuates the horror elements, while the dynamic action sequences burst off the page.


DC vs. Vampires – World War V #1 is a gripping start to this new chapter in the DC vs. Vampires series. With its intense narrative, complex characters, and stunning artwork, it’s a must-read for fans of the genre. Whether you’re a longtime DC fan or just looking for a fresh take on vampire fiction, this issue delivers on all fronts.
