Let’s simply get this over with.
DC vs Vampires: World Battle V #10 hits a brand new low. Like an all-time sequence low. Like it’s so disappointing at this level that I’m forgoing the bit I’ve been doing with the sequence as my accomplice in a poisonous relationship as a result of this factor deserves a correct examination on how dangerous it’s.
So within the final subject, Mr. Miracle and his miracle child escape from Atlantis solely to come across Vampire Raven (who needs to be useless a number of instances over on this sequence but- ah, overlook it) and Vampire Ghost Maker (who fulfils his non-existent arc of searching Mister Miracle all through the sequence). After which Lobo and Metal present up, confirming the dread I used to be feeling since final subject – the vampires and people are actually working collectively to cease Darkseid.
Yep, the plot twist so predictable a child might have seen it coming occurs. I’ve to surprise why this sequence is even being revealed at this level if there isn’t going to be an try and attempt to innovate. Perhaps there are contractual obligations that must be fulfilled or one thing, however consider me by some means it will get worse.
So, Cyborg (who has a cool Afro for some purpose at present. I do know he’s had it since he confirmed up in World Battle V however I suppose there’s the innovation I used to be in search of) exhibits up on Dinosaur Island to see it’s utterly empty apart from an unconscious or deceased Beast Boy. He contacts Killer Moth (who’s clearly the favourite character of somebody on the artistic workforce contemplating how a lot he’s proven up regardless of his D-list standing and has miraculously remained alive to date) to tell them… the New Gods from New Genesis are working with Darkseid to eradicate each the people and the vampires. As a result of the vampire plague is so lethal they’ll’t danger it spreading to the remainder of the universe (oh God that’s the sequel to this, isn’t it?)
sigh
I preserve looking for the phrases to explain my emotions on this, however most of them are swear phrases so I need to desist. “However isn’t this a twist?” I hear a few of you ask. “Shouldn’t you be joyful that the story caught you off guard? Doesn’t that make it a compelling, if not essentially good story?”
Nicely, let’s break that half down, lets? For starters, the New Genesis Gods apparently massacred all the heroes/villains/monsters combating Darkseid’s forces on Dinosaur Island, none of whom had been truly vampires. So both the so-called good “New Gods” had no subject with turning on their allies simply to meet their Faustian pact to Darkseid, or had been simply as disgusted by the extra inhuman earthlings as a lot as they had been by the vampires. Holy hell, you understand what this jogs my memory of? The Downside with Susan by the disgraced Neil Gaiman, the place Aslan and the White Witch resolve to affix forces and kill the youngsters. So don’t be shocked if we see Darkseid and Highfather making candy, candy love within the subsequent subject as a result of this sequence has gone that far off the rails.
Additionally, Orion says the explanation they turned on the people and their allies was as a result of in the event that they allied with the vampires they could be a better menace. who else allied with the vampires? Freakin’ Darkseid when he despatched Granny Goodness to seek for Scott within the first place!!! I’d ask the place the logic was but it surely left the constructing when the primary sequence was being revealed. No less than that one may very well be entertaining.

Backup: Insanity is a Factor with Feathers, Half One
Sadly, even the backup disappoints this subject. We get a narrative starring Loma Shade, the present wielder of the M-Vest is taking two youngsters (they could be supporting characters in her sequence however I haven’t learn it so I can’t say for certain) to a protected zone, all of the whereas utilizing her powers to maintain them protected. Nonetheless, Rac Shade, the unique wielder who’s evil now (one thing that occurred in mentioned sequence apparently) needs her to make use of her mates to get the vampires excessive as apparently blood-tinged with insanity is sort of a drug for them.
, there’s esoteric work that I’ll admit to not absolutely understanding. After which there’s simply stuff that’s making an attempt to be esoteric and is simply plain dangerous. Guess which one this story is?

Advisable If
- You had been starved for Shade, the Altering Woman content material
- Killer Moth is your favourite character
- You probably did Cyborg’s Afro
General
DC vs Vampires: World Battle V #10 is the purpose the place this saga has hit its nadir. I’m unsure that was even attainable however right here we’re. The one factor that scares me at this level is that there’s two extra problems with this dreck earlier than I’m launched from reviewing this factor. However I’m dedicated to seeing this by way of…even when I’m in a straitjacket by the tip of it.
