This issue feels important, but it also feels thin. Having the story jump around to so many locations and characters reminds us this is a battle across a lot of areas with a lot of characters, but it also means slight plot progression in each chapter. Still, meaningful moments take place, and the larger war and all the implications become more clear. Read Full Review

DC vs. Vampires: World War V continues to be one of the best looking books in the DC slate thanks to Otto Schmidt. The books various plot threads currently feel a little distant, but the promise of what is to come is more than enough to keep the plot running. Read Full Review

There are a lot of moving parts in the main story, but thankfully, not all of them are focused on at once, giving each of them some much needed breathing space. We don't see Damian in this issue, but we feel the ramifications of his actions. The story is still mostly setup at this point, but it does enough to spice up the story with bits of action now and then, and the art is decent, if not spectacular, and shines through during the big moments.

SPOILERS AHEAD Very strong issue. Stronger than the first imo. I'm pretty intrigued by all the plotlines in all honesty. I wonder what they're doing re-growing the plants, the magic side looks like it will finally get some focus which is great (and not for a second did I ever believe Spectre had been killed in the first series lmao) - Perhaps we will find something about the nature of vampirism? And I'm pretty interested on who is that baby. At first I thought they were Jack Hawksmoor and Jenny from the All-Out War mini story but he seems to Mister Miracle here (and calls her his daughter). Maybe it's just a title thing though. And that final part was brutal woah. On the one hand, I still find it just too convenient that Dian a can't resist the vampirism (Damian isn't exactly an angel, but he seems to handle it better) but on the other hand I have to admit she makes for a pretty good and fun villain.The moment she appeared sent shivers down my spine and the moment she turns around and she asks Alfred if he loves Damian was amazing. Plus, she's funny. Reminded me of Spike from Buffy in his early seasons The little moment where she tanks a stake was lol I hope she never dies lol Have her around doing fun evil stuff or find a way to give her her guilt back so that she can have a redemption arc or something, I'm having too much fun with this character. more

Excellent. We go back to this world with two good issues. We've got setup of interesting plot points, but what makes it really work is the character interactions. I loved Green Arrow and Black Canary's little conversation after the reunion and I'm intrigued by Damian's endgame objective. But What I loved was the final sequence of issue 2. BANGER. I loved how tense and claustrophobic it felt, reminded me of the first half of the last series. And always a it of dark humour sprinkled there. Let's keep this up.

There's a lot I like about this issue. I'm still confused about why Aquaman looks like Deathstroke. Wonder Woman is scary and intimidating as a Vampire. The fight was Talia was good and the surprise twist with Alfred was amazing. I really like that ending and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.
