Anybody read the first few issues of this?
So far it's okay and there have been some surprises but nothing eye popping yet to make people not feel like this is a Marvel Zombie clone

I saw it pop up, seems good so far. {Spoiler} Hoping Harley didn't get "not zombified" Heartbreaking scene with Batman, Alfred, and Damian too.

Marvel Zombies just jumped into "everyone's a snarky zombie." As for the origins of this...."virus"... {Spoiler}It's the Anti-Life Equation. A take on it, at least, but a very in-continuity thing over the years.
And in #1 the infection is shown to literally destroy a planet, so there's more than just zombies at work here.

I feel I'll have liked this...back when it was Blackest Night. It's a 6 issue mini with no repercussions to the DC Universe at large. Just a story for the sake of telling a story. BN was the endpoint of a road the GL books had been marching toward for a few years. And a Tom Taylor story, which - after Injustice, better than it had any right to be - means he can provide it good emotional impact. (#2 certainly gave us that.)

Boy, between what they did with Wally and the what just happened to a certain Ring Slinger, it's almost like DC top brass is trying to say something about Rebirth and Mr. Johns.

Ugh, if I wasn't boycotting DC over the Wally stuff and a few other mishandlings I'd pick this up. Seems like a fun out of continuity story, even if it's reminiscent of Marvel's own zombie story

Dan Didio needs to go....NOW
Everything wrong with DC's comics is because of him.

I am reading this currently, but I am so confused by the DC Universe. How long has superman and lois had a son? Also, does he still have a bunch of super animals?

I am reading this currently, but I am so confused by the DC Universe. How long has superman and lois had a son? Also, does he still have a bunch of super animals? Jon Kent has been around since 2015, introduced in DC's Convergence event. Basically, pre-Flashpoint Clark & Lois had a kid - thanks to Convergence all superheroes were depowered, sidestepping those Kevin Smith/Mallrats concerns with Lois being pregnant with his kid. They decided to bring those 3 into the main DC continuity after Convergence ended & merged the New 52 Superman with this "original" Superman, so now the one and only Superman is the original. Jon, basically the new Superboy, teamed with Damian Wayne in a very fun and acclaimed Super Sons series, and again in Adventures of the Super Sons (which ended a few weeks ago), and in Bendis' current Superman series Jon has now been aged a few years and is more than likely joining the revived Legion of Super-Heroes shortly. As for super animals, Krypto's pretty much been around fairly regularly for many years now but that's it. Supergirl *might* have had a cat named Streaky at some point in recent years, but I don't believe it had superpowers at all.

It's kinda strange if that's what it's about since, Geoff Johns basically righted the ship after NEW 52.

Wanted to bump this because I’ve been seeing this series from a distance and kind of had to read the latest issue.
No spoilers but what I love about DCeased compared to Marvel Zombies is that Taylor’s basically built a scenario where hope is fleeting and it keeps fleeting but it feels...earned. It’s not grim for the sake of being grim and it feels like this is how these characters would react to what’s happened. Not sure if that makes sense but that’s how I felt, especially this latest issue.

Tom Taylor is the best. The guy made the video game tie-in Injustice comic required reading when it had no business being so.
He can even take a dead concept (pun intended) like zombies and make it interesting. Basically I want TT doing more things.
