Task Force Z #2

Task Force Z #2 is a gruesome and extreme issue. The violence and unfamiliar surroundings that Todd finds himself in make it feel that nowhere is safe. Even his home base is filled with ravenous zombies. Rosenberg tells a superb horror comic within the mainstream DC Universe with characters that the readers care about. So when a known figure gets involved, the danger is real and pertinent. Read Full Review

If you want spooky zombies and superhero aesthetics, this book is probably for you. Give it a try next time you hit up your local comic shop. Read Full Review

By revealing some of its secrets, Task Force Z #2 is a marked improvement over the first issue. If, like me, you were hoping for something a little deeper from this creative team, it can be found right here. Read Full Review

From new teammates to insane fight scenes, TASK FORCE Z #2 continues to level up the crazy. The story beats are a bit far-fetched but original, exciting, and somewhat mysterious. Read Full Review

Things are getting crazier for Jason Todd as his ragtag group of deadheads are slowly being "fleshed" out and with the information learned here and the action involved I find myself really intrigued with what the overall story of this twelve-issue maxi is and can't wait to learn more.... not to mention how much Red Hood is going to suffer in leading these stink bags. If you're not reading Task Force Z yet, make sure you do because it's a blast. Read Full Review

It's not up to the level of the other horror title this week, but the chaotic fast pace is a lot of fun. Read Full Review

Task Force Z #2 is a fun issue that keeps the serious tone of DC books with a flair of fun. Keep an eye out for that last page stinger and you'll definitely be back for issue three! Read Full Review

It's another solid issue. It has good art, an interesting story with twists and turns, and a very cool cast of characters. But what really makes me recommend this book is the fact that it's just so damn fun. We need more fun in comics, especially in a time when many superhero books are really depressing. We can only hope that this series will continue to be consistent, but right now it's entertaining as hell! Read Full Review

Overall, this series is shaping up to be something fun, different, and interesting. There's a blend of characters, from new ones like Hanna Hobart to classic Batman villains like Bane and Man-Bat, and others that have yet to be made known, like Crispin. Jason's character is well-written; his dry sarcasm pitted against Crispin's aloof remarks aren't done in poor taste and balance neatly. The Lazarus pits, while referenced and heavily used throughout comics, haven't quite been fully fleshed out regarding their mythos and capabilities, and this series has the potential to insert something new into the world of DC Comics.

You can tell Rosenberg and team are trying to stand out, but they're dangerously short from holding themselves back from that goal. At the very least, it seems like the book is moving in the right direction"it's just not quite there yet. Read Full Review

I don't like the way Rosenberg gives any character personality, however the narrative was decent, the art is good, and the villains are interesting.

This was a lot of fun, I'm glad I'm able to catch up on this series.

taking this as out of canon, well it's pretty decent, down a bit of Matt's trademark humor which I appreciate.

Yes! They finally decided to bring Deadshot back, there was no need for him to die senselessly just because idiotic Tom Taylor needed a shocking death for people to read his stupid Suicide Squad run, one of the worst Squad runs in the last few years. This was better than the first issue. I'm starting to warm up to this, Bloom is up to no good.

I'm still not sold on this series. Zombie Bane and manbat dont grab me. Are the guns back for Redhood?

Merlyn - Nov 23, 2021

No, he still has the ridiculous crowbars and they are as stupid as always.

Merlyn - Nov 23, 2021

I think this is better. I mean, other than the loony who hates Red Hood, everyone here rated it pretty high so it's not just me.

Mingthemerciless - Nov 23, 2021

I get the appeal for some readers but bane as a zombie doesnt work for me. The character is not merely a brute hes an intellectual peer of batmans. If the book rounds a corner that clicks with me I could give it a go.

Merlyn - Nov 23, 2021

Well he escaped but without the resin he's not going to survive so we'll see where that goes. I agree it's not the best treatment for Bane but at least he's not being killed off panel like Tynion did.

Those crowbars are the dumbest. I'm sure the anti 2A dufus that came up with thought he was so profound repurposing the weapon that Joker used to bludgeon Jason Todd to near death but they are as useless as tits on a bull in a tactical situation.

This comic is... strange. It has a lot of text, little action for a title that implies action, but is still cool - I don't really know how, just enjoyed. And, of course, Eddy Barrows' art is always incredible.

Despite not being spectacular issue #2 was somehow entertaining.

Хоть мне и не особо нравиться Task Force Z, я рада что в ней используются и будут использованы известные злодеи вроде Бэйна, Дэдшота и Двуликого. Это гораздо лучше, чем в Найтвинге Тейлора. Блокбастер - Кинпин для бедных, а Бессердечный вообще не впечатлил.

The writing was good, Eddy Barrows art is perfect as always, interesting that jason is almost getting killed by the and of every issue so far
