"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.

I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

I didn’t see any ads for this series, so I was happily a surprised to see it on the shelf then disappointed to see #3, not thinking I’d be able to find 1-2, but shockingly, I found #1-3 on the shelf and got to buy them to catch up. I’ve only read #1 so far, but I’m so happy to be back in this world. This issue was excellent!! The ending is definitely surprising, and I’m excited to read #2.

Suc semper tyrannis

Really fun!

The opening made me sad, but the vampires are a piece of shit. I also love Damien in this, lethal but not evil. And Green Arrow being the main good guy is amazing.

Culpa mía de pensar que quizás esto, al pertenecer al revival del sello Elseworlds quizás actuase de "reboot" de lo ya publicado con esto de "vampirizar" el Universo DC. Pero es una continuación directa, así que ciertamente un shock toparme con gran parte de la Batfamilia siendo los representantes clave de este nuevo orden vampírico. Motivando ese enfrentamiento del título de la historie en el cual Barbara Gordon se alza como una "Reina Vampiro". Los restos de la humanidad apenas encuentran en unos desarrapados Oliver Queen, John Constantine y... ¿Batman? una fútil resistencia.

Supongo que esta cabecera puede que tenga más interés que el DCeased. Aunque la lectura estomacante del Blood Hunt de la distinguida competencia, amenaza con empacharme en esto de que los vampiros dominen los relatos superheroícos.

Sí que he de admitir que el estilo de dibujo me resultaría un cierto reclamo para una lectura aunque sea de evasión hueca.

Sic semper tyrannis, muthafucka!
The wait is finally over. Issue 1 of 12 of WWV and its a doozy of a beginning.
We pick up after Kara cleared the sky. Humans and vamps have a truce, while Damian is attacking his own kind, with the help of Hush. An easy 5 stars, and roll on the next 1.

What is there NOT to love? I am hooked. Continues the storyline from the last time around.

A better written vampire-story than Blood Hunt.

[alejandro galvez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always awesome.

I love this series. Always fun to see Elseworlds stories in the mix. I am glad DC is publishing more and more of these stories.
