15 DCeased Moments That Shocked The World

All the zombie violence you never knew you wanted from DC.

Although the final issue of DCeased is not yet out - being scheduled to release the day before Halloween - the five issues that have been brought to us so far are perhaps some of the most intense madness that DC has ever provided their fans.

Admittedly, this is vastly helped by the fact that the series is essentially a What If? comic that explores a zombie invasion in the DC universe, with all the gory zombie insanity that comics like The Walking Dead and Marvel Zombies have brought us to expect (and love). That said, one of the most surprising things about DCeased is how much it plays with your expectations of both superhero comics and zombie stories, doing the things you least expect when you least expect them, just to prove it's that step ahead of your conventional undead shenanigans.

Loaded to the brim with major character deaths, huge cataclysmic events, and a sprinkling of massive explosions, each issue of DCeased manages to shock you time and time again, laced with the kind of thrills and surprises that action films can only wish they had.

15. Cyborg Being The Anti-Life Equation

Establishing the tone for the rest of the series, DCeased has its first shocking moment a mere eleven pages in, as it's unveiled that the alien technology embedded in Cyborg contains half of the anti-life equation - with the other half being contained in Darkseid's Motherbox.

It's hard to not want to read the rest of the comic after this is revealed, as from this moment onwards, it's clear that DCeased is more than your average zombie comic cash in series. Although a techno-virus created by the changing of the anti-life equation isn't how you'd expect the DC's zombie comic to start, it's an absolutely fascinating way to do so, as it avoids all the usual opening clichés in order to create something much weirder - and arguably much better.

When the second scene of your comic involves Darkseid killing Death itself, you know you're in for a good read.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
