After seeing Jason Todd's reactions to the loss of most of the Bat-Family, and the way the rest of this story is moving forward, I'm already dead excited to read more… sorry. Read Full Review

Overall it's a blood-soaked violent riot and I can't wait for more. Read Full Review

With arresting visuals and witty scripting, DCEASED: Unkillables #1 is absolute perfection. Read Full Review

DCeased Unkillables is an awesome comic! Read Full Review

DCeased is an incredible and terrifying comic that stands on its own with a beginning, middle, and end. I didn't think we needed more from this world, but Unkillables proved me wrong and I could not be happier about that. This is a character-driven horror story that shakes the DC Universe to its core. Writer Tom Taylor returns to this world with a bang; a bloody, horrifying bang. Read Full Review

It's a fantastic first issue that fits perfectly with what Taylor built in the first mini, and is likely to be just as big a hit. Read Full Review

The art by Karl Mostert is great and I love the way he frames the action as well as the gore in the scenes. Read Full Review

DCeased UNKILLABLES #1 is available today so head to your Local Comic Shop or download it digitally direct from DC. This is an issue that many of us have been waiting for and it makes the wait worth it for sure! Read Full Review

DCEASED: UNKILLABLES is a fun amble through desolation with the assembled baddest of the bad, just trying to stay alive -- a sort of Walking Dead with tights. Read Full Review

Tom Taylor is causing mischief, again, with a follow-up series to DCeased; this debut issue is dark, intense, and promises everything, and more, than what Taylor managed to deliver the last time he utilized the Anti-life Equation to cripple the DC Universe. Read Full Review

Surely we all want to see what came next after the first book, when will you really get the chance to see how the villains survive during an apocalyptic event? DCeased: Unkillables #1 proves again why the right people were put together to give us something that is more than what is your average zombie story. Because these aren't zombies, but this is definitely the end of the world. It's always going to be worth seeing how those final days play out whether villain or anti-hero. Read Full Review

The art is pretty spiffy as well. All in all, this is a nicely done spinoff from the previous series. Read Full Review

DCeased: Unkillables #1 does not immediately grab me like the original did, but as a fan of Taylor's Elseworld I'm still very much invested in the different story lines he has set up. The world itself is fascinating and getting this unexpected expansion of scope is worth the investment in my eyes. Read Full Review

This is Mr. Taylor's writing the way I like it, with strong characterization accenting a moving storyline or two. It's going to be interesting to see how this whole bleak situation shakes out, including who actually is in charge and who isn't. Read Full Review

DCeased: Unkillables #1 is a solid start to this series. Those who have read the previous volume might appreciate a different perspective but it feels like a fresh start. The duality of that is impressive. The content itself, the story and visuals, are over the top in a big-budget summer popcorn sort of way creating a reading experience that you can sit back, turn your brain off, and just enjoy. Read Full Review

DCeased: The Unkillables #1 is a worthy follow up to the original series, giving us a new view of the end of the world. Tom Taylor is at his best working in a separate universe like this, along with solid action and visuals in the art department, with only small nitpicks. Read Full Review

Though it's release is oddly timed for a spin-off, that does nothing to lessen the power or fun DCeased: Unkillables. Graced with pathos and grit by Tom Taylor and rendered with stellar artwork from a confident art team, DCeased: Unkillables is a killer debut. Read Full Review

If you liked DCEASED then you should enjoy DCEASED: Unkillables #1. Tom Taylor continues to bring everything loved about that series into this new one. It is action-packed, full of drama and tons of humor. We get to see how some of the villains and anti-heroes of the DC Universe survive. The art while still good, is just inconsistent with its three inkers. It did take me out of the issue a bit at times, is the only real downfall of DCEASED: Unkillables #1. Read Full Review

DCeased: The Unkillables #1 is a great follow-up that compliments the original DCeased event extremely well. Tom Taylor sets up a story involving a different set of characters that carries the same emotionally impactful energy the original event had. Getting different perspectives of the crisis in DCeased was refreshing to see, with new plotlines that enhanced the story in the original mini-series. Read Full Review

Though the artwork can at times not be quite as stellar as the original "DCeased" miniseries, "DCeased: Unkillables" #1 nonetheless shows itself to be a worthy successor to its writer's previous foray into such a hellish world. Read Full Review

Don't miss out on DCeased: Unkillables! Read Full Review

DCEASED Unkillables #1 is a fun start to what will surely be a fun ride. If there's anything you should read before the Apocalypse, it's this. Read Full Review

This was a slow start to the Unkillables story, and while I liked the characters Tom Taylor is playing with, inconsistent art and too much setup dragged it down for me.  I hope the book rebounds, but with only two issues left, I now have some doubts. Read Full Review

Sadly, when everything adds up, Unkillables #1 is frustrating. There are interesting things brewing for the story but as an opener, it pales in comparison to the rest of the DCeased titles"I trust Taylor's writing for this to end up in the right place for issue two but for now, this issue left me with solid mixed feelings.

Tom Taylor has created one of the most unique Zombie Apocalypse scenarios I've ever seen across all media. The beauty of the Anti-Life virus is that if this virus hit our world we'd be phucked. The virus is transferred by screen technology. This mean's that your cellphone, tablet, computer, and television are potential agents for this thing. I'd imagine that western society would be taken out within a day or so. The severity of the situation is perfectly exemplified by the opening pages of this comic. Deathstroke is in the middle of a job. He realizes the job is bigger than he expected and calls his employer. At this point, Deathstroke is immediately infected. The only reason Deathstroke survives at all is because of his Healing Factor. The implication from the opening interlude is that this world is as good as dead. How many screens do you interact with within a day? How long would you last in this world? DCeased: Unkillables follows two groups. One set of heroes and another group made up of villains and anti-heroes. The first group features the remaining members of the Batfamily including Red Hood, James Gordan, and Batgirl/Cassandra Cain as they try to get out of Gotham. The second group features the aforementioned Deathstroke, his daughter Ravager, Mirror Master, Vandal Savage, Captain Cold, and a few other not so good guys. The Unkillable aspect of the series seems to be that these characters have unique advantages that allow them to survive in this world. One example is Deathstroke's healing abilities another is a unique set of lenses produced by Mirror Master that blocks out the signal of the Anti-Life Virus. Both factions are presented in a fun way. The book is just as macabre as the main DCeased series but the difference is tone. There is a lot of levity in this issue and the lighter tone is reflected in the art and color palette. The action sequences are dynamic and the staging of the action sequences are pretty awesome throughout the book. Unkillables is clearly a tie-in and maintains continuity to the main-series but the flavor is totally different and I really dig it. In short, DCeased is the comic equivalent of Dawn of the Dead and focuses on a world falling into ruin. Unkillables feels like The Walking Dead and focuses on the survivors. The world Tom is building at DC comics has a lot of potential and continues to be one of the brightest spots at the publisher. Rating: 10/10 more

A bit of a slow start, and at times this issue felt unnecessarily violent. I did like the humor this issue and I actually enjoyed the art as well

A pretty good follow up. I always wondered after the first DCeased why Alfred or Damian didn't send any message to Gordon. Seeing how the villains adapt is an interesting concept.

Prelude: I really enjoyed Taylor's DCeased, so let's see how the spinoff, DCeased: The Unkillables goes. The Good: Jason was great in this issue. I know some people have issues with the art, but I like it. Great character work as always from Taylor. The Bad: Nothing. Conclusion: A good start from Taylor. I need to see just a small bit more to call it great, but so far it's easily very good.

Tom Taylor writes the characters well here. But a general lack of a plot and some truly ugly art really hurt this book. But bless him, Tom Taylor is doing his best.

"It's an apocalypse, don't judge me" Tom Taylor returns to his zombified version of the DC universe and, just like last time, it's fun. This one goes for a bit more comedic streak, at least in this issue, with a sort of dry humor and jokes being thrown around by characters. The sense of hopelessness and dread is not half as prolific here as it was in the original mini-series. This may be due to the cast of the characters. They are, in the majority, villains, that are used to carnage and gore. But it works. Yet I hope that the next issues go for a more serious tone, just like the original.

This book is fine, but it feels like DC just wanted Taylor to stretch out the premise of the story more. Doesn't really add anything to the previous DCeased story, it just provides another perspective as to what was happening. Which for me is less creative and more profit driven (which this is don't be fooled). I'll just wait til DCeased gets collected in a larger hardcover or omnibus comprised of more spinoffs that DC will inevitably create out of it.

You know what's always cool about nazi zombies? That contrary to usual walking dead, amount of living braincells in their heads is exactly identical to living nazis. That's something, isn't it? While death turns normal people into rotting beasts fueled only by primal hunger for flesh, facists lose nothing! Good for them, worse for us, since when apocalypse strikes, the only still active media outlets will be likes of PragerU, Cosmic Book News and Daily Wire. Hot damn, that's one grim vision of the future, isn't it? I found DCEASED to be way overhyped and overrated - it wasn't bad, far from it, but it wasn't anything extraordinary either. Just your typical zombie apocalypse nonsense, but with superheroes. If it came out 5-10 years ago, it would have been a classic, but since then, the zombie boom died out, just like vampire mania before it. Sufficed to say, I didn't expect much from its sequel, and in many ways I was right not to. The Unkillables is a mixed bag with severe mood wings often ruining the tension. I get it - zombie apocalypse is a tired trope, a gimmick which doesn't have much to offer anymore, so anything not often tried yet, like bathetic humor, could possibly be the little thing that differentiates yoru story from dozens others. Creeper acting like himself wasn't unwelcomed, but I expected omething different when it comes to Slade's POV. Jason's narrative felt more compelling and personal , in comparison. It actually could become the one arc I care about and want to follow. Maybe it has something to do with Ace, since dogs make everything better, but nonetheless, it made me feel something, anything, is more than I can say about the rest of the book. Pick it up if you're a fan of zombies, Red Hood and/or want to see villains teaming up. Other than that, it's a pretty mediocre comic to me. more

I remember the mood wings craze back in the 70s! You could tell how an angel was feeling by looking at the color of his feathers. What ever happened to those? ;)

A very slow start for a book with limited number of issues. It's OK I guess if you like DCEASED but it lacks the plot density of the original book. Art feels plasticky.
