But if you are going to translate it? I was also informed by some colleagues that they were kicked out of the place just for refusing to rate DC comics and only focusing on Marvel ones. I think this site is somewhat xenophobic and racist. It is a great coincidence that accounts from Spain, Italy and Russia were canceled and do not touch those who are insulted by people, that gives a lot to say about this place, they will surely eliminate me for making their xe

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jan 01, 1970Task Force Z #1 is a terrifying starting issue. The collection of characters, living or living dead, that Rosenberg has amassed are all incredible, each one capable of captivating readers with their presence. The potential of someone getting killed or eaten is higher in this book than even within a Suicide Squad issue. Red Hood as the central character is a tremendous choice. It will be fascinating to see if more zombies are brought into play, proving some diversity within the lineup. And the art has a brilliant mix of beauty and horror. Read Full Review

AIPT - Daniel Berlin
Oct 26, 2021Task Force Z #1 is a fun read thanks to Rosenberg's quick and quippy dialogue and the art team's brutal, dynamic action sequences. The next task for this series is to create a unique identity outside the shadow of Suicide Squad and justify why its insane premise ought to be an ongoing series. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Casper Rudolph
Nov 01, 2021This is a fun first issue. It's a quick and easy read, very entertaining, and it sets up the plot, stakes and characters effectively. Some of the exposition early on in the issue feels forced, but the comedic beats and action sequences more than make up for this slight misstep. Lucas' coloring steals the show. Recommended!

The Comicbook Dispatch - soycornholio
Oct 26, 2021I was expecting so much more from this comic. I feel as if Task Force Z #1 ran in place for the duration of its first issue. There was not any real take-off. Now, I have faith in the characters. How can you have a bad storyline with Jason Todd or a zombie Man-Bat? If you are a fan of zombies and horror, this comic is NOT for you. It does not deliver on that end. Now, what it does deliver on, is pure Red Hood one-liners and a mystery that will payout throughout the next handful of comics. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Eric Shea
Oct 26, 2021While you won't learn the hows or whys of this series this first issue, what you will get is some great art and Jason Todd leading a group of zombies who just want to eat people into a couple of missions, Yeah, I would have liked some more answers to what's going on here but I still had fun with what I was given because it is a crazy concept that comes off really fun conceptualized in these pages.

Oct 27, 2021Task Force Z #1 delivers a solid start to what may have seemed to some to be a gimmick mini-series. I, for one, was pleasantly surprised by the issue and am very eager to see where the story goes next. From the covers I've seen released for future installments, it's going to be a wild ride.

GWW - Nick Friar
Oct 25, 2021After reading Task Force Z #1, it doesn't feel like the character is going to be the problem child of this story. Instead, he's babysitting a handful of Batman's zombified villains. Again, I'm all for zombies and Red Hood, but this idea sounds far too familiar. Read Full Review

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, it was fun, canonically buggy, yet it's what DC has come down to now, to please the fandom. Rosenberg's writing is mediocre, but much better than Taylor's so far.

Wow. This is exactly what I expected out of this first issue, and I absolutely loved it. A zombie Suicide Squad pitch just works so well in its own right and now that it's an ongoing series, I'm super pumped to continue to read on. Barrows' art is so phenomenal, as always, and the overall story and vibe of the book are so great. I can't wait to read further into the story and just have a blast with this one. This may be my personal favorite new DC book in a long time.

A fun delivery, not so exciting and I know it can be a disappointment since something related to a celebration of fear should not have the excess of humor of this number, much less after DCeased: Unkillables and Dead planet. I'll give this series a try.

We see that Amanda Waller and her ilk needed to step up their game from using convicted criminals as disposable soldiers as they've decided to throw zombie criminals at their problems instead. https://youtu.be/2P_lFToc2SU

Not bad, but not magnificent either, Barrows' art lifts this issues. Yet I keeps asking me, what idiot came up with putting scars on Jason's back? It is illogical, he repairs all those who enter the well completely, this and the Y on the chest is from amateur writings published in the Tumblr.

Una penosa entrega, no me sorprende realmente, vi a el trabajo de Matt con Grifter y el hombre solo hace payasadas. Termino hundiendo el barco. En esto es lo mismo, es carente de creatividad. Sin embargo no saca toda esa mierda progre y de polÃtica de izquierda que me toca los cojones, tiene su parte divertida, pero eso es todo. Lo que ayuda es es arte y el color.

This is a pretty good start. I have faith that Matthew Rosenberg will make it a lot more fun as it gears up. Also, what the fuck is Merlyn smoking? This dude is legitimately insane. Holy shit lol.

It wasn't the best starter, the art is decent except for the thing they put on JT's back that looks like someone vomited on it. Canonically Jason does not have scars from when he died and it is stupid and illogical to insist on the subject like the Y of the autopsy. But what can I say, DC is currently full of shoddy fanfiction.

A delivery with a mediocre writing even for an Elseword, nothing exciting. The good art is Eddy always a pleasure to see him take the pencil. I agree with some of the points that two or three readers made regarding the inconsistency of Jason's scars, which looks more like a burn, although as outside of canon it is acceptable. Also this is not the worst writing.

This was the biggest dissapointment of the week. I expected a lot of this story. Dont get wrong, this first issue is fun and good... but it's just that. There are some weird moments when Bane can talk but other character can't. Still, im kinda interested for the Lazarus resine subplot. So... yeah... it's fun, kinda good, Barrows art really nailed :T

You know how you can always tell a writer even without looking at the cover just by his quirks? Like Ewing always rants about "the esoteric" or "synchronicity", King puts songs in it, Bendis has that dialogue like the characters are all Muppets or Cantwell cries about white privilege. Well, for Rosenberg is always the "we don't use that word here". His obsession with controlling other people's language is always a theme, a side-effect from staying too much on twitter, probably. And so when Jason uses the word "monsters" for Bane or Man-Bat, Rosenberg is quick to point out that they are just misunderstood people wanting to redeem themselves even though that's total bullshit. Ok, maybe for Man-Bat that is the case but it's not for Bane certai more

What the hell was this? Currently the writers have such a childish writing and this man only knows how to clown his characters. It is destroying a good character here, well they are destroying them all. It's funny what happens. They do very youthful writing but they started the only comic that would be viable for this type of narrative SuperSons and for what? I don't think Jason Todd is a character for this type of writing, he has a very dark past, the child of abuse, we are talking about family violence and addiction. He was brutally murdered and brought back to life to be thrown into a bloody arena. He became a selective killer and sometimes a bit insane. He's the slaughterous bat, the one who bears the burden of redemption if it is t more
