Dceased has been a pleasure to read ever since it started. Well, I mean it's sad and a lot of characters you love die, but it's all done so well.
This issue we lose a TON of big characters. Ones that might have been able to change the future. The series gives you a LITTLE hope at the start but by the midway point it is ALL ripped away from you. With a stunning conclusion, great art, and heartfelt moments, DCeased remains a must read. A 5 out of 5.

This series is so good. Self-contained stories that disregard main continuity are the best!

What a twist!

I am a late comer to this series. Kicking myself for missing out when it first came out. I gave the first four books 4 stars each, but the last two issues get even better and thus I bumped them up to a 5.
Not knocking the Marvel zombie books, I have read a few. But they never grabbed my attention as DCeased has done. What really got me into this series is when I borrowed issues #1 and #2 of DCeased: The Unkillables from my adult son. Wow! I was hooked and then went back and borrowed his six issues of DCeased. Not a dry eye in the house for issue 5. Would love to see this series as a DC animated movie!

What an issue! I actually got a little emotional at the end there. I expected Superman would be turned eventually but the whole chain of events still tugged at the heart strings. Also, how did we forget about Martian Manhunter?

Fantastically ghoulish and I loved it.
Not every ending is a happy one, the good guy doesn't always have to get the girl!
It was pretty dark for a comic, certainly puts the graphic into graphic novel.

Love the zombie covers by Francesco Matina and the horror movie covers by Yasmine Putri. Always seems to be a lean in DC and Marvel these days for strong women being the saviors while the men die violently first.

Situasi semakin kacau The Flash berubah jadi zombie karena Martian Manhunters, dan saat Superman mencoba membunuh Flash. Superman juga terkena virus zombie dikarenakan pecahan tulang the Flash yang menusuknya,
Para Superhero tersisa akhirnya mencoba membuat ARK untuk kabur dari Bumi.

Wow.
Even when things seem to settle down, the action and heartbreak does not stop.
This is a stunner of a series.

This one is my favorite so far. They just give you a tiny bit of hope and take it away. I am so intrigued!

This is the bleakest shit that DC has ever put out! I mean, what is the actual point to all this?

5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I can’t believe what happened to Superman! How is this going to end?! There is only 1 issue left!

Not as strong as other issues, but I have hope for the ending.

this stupid "hey idk what if zombies were those cape people we know" book made me cry

These all feel like previews for some story arc the creators think is going to be epic. I’m pretty sure it ends (for now?) with the next one, and... I’m not holding my breath. I guess superhero books just aren’t my bag, even if there are zombies involved.

Always a unique and new story line. Love Dceased!

Primer cómic que consigue hacerme llorar.

The quality of “DCeased” has varied wildly from issue to issue (which is an odd thing to say when there have only been four issues so far) but this fifth installment is the first one that feels balanced between the epic and the intimate. Writer Tom Taylor spent the previous issues focusing on either the global threat of the techno-virus or the human impact of the disease; this issue finally weaves those two strands together. It’s awe-inspiring as well as heartbreaking, informed by moments that are both cathartic and devastating. This cocktail seems to suit artist Trevor Hairsine just fine because his pages in “DCeased” #5 are probably his best ones yet. The mini-series has revealed itself to be a little bit of a bait-and-switch since it’s not really a horror story but I’m “pot committed” now. Bring on the conclusion!

Man, that one hurt. So much emotion. And such a twist on the Flash/Superman race.

Just when you think things are relaxing into a new normal, trouble stirs again. This one broke my heart.

No se cómo acabará el arco, pero ¡este número es brutal! Me he bebido las paginas
