A TV show I honestly don't want to see a season 2 of.

Feels like somebody made a comic out of a Frank Cho's idea for a variant cover of Harley's solo series, because other than that, I can't explain why it was made, and what story does it try to tell. It's a bland, boring, unfunny soap opera, albeit with really pretty art, I have to acknowledge that.
While it tries to address, and to a degree, fix the Ivy mess Tom King caused with Heroes i

Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #3
Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, and what did Harley and Ivy find there? A tea party with some very unexpected and uninvited guests! It turns out the Mad Hatter has a game of his own to play, and Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn must decide between fight and flight. And is that gift Lex Luthor dropped off for Ivy actually of any use, ...
This feels like an ending of a TV series' season, not like a proper conclusion of an event, or a stand alone comic story. It just cuts out, not giving us any real answers - and granted, they could be provided within a sequel, if there's any in the future, but for now, we have what we have, so I'm not willing to give DC a free pass, because there's untapped potential in DCEASED.
So yeah,

DCeased #6
Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and only a few remaining members of the Justice League stand between life and annihilation. As the remnants of humanity make their last gamble for survival, will there even be a planet left to call home when all is said and done? The senses-shattering conclusion to the year's surprise blockbuster is here!
May be. I wonder how will Joe Hill's comics perform. I didn't have time to read basketful of Heads yet, hopefully it's better than this.
Oh. That's it? Huh, okay...
I've been a huge fan of this series and this issue is still a great addition but as a conclusion to the series, I needed a little more. For me, there are too many points left unattended to. It's evident that DC will be going for a sequel here since Superman and Wonder Woman are roaming freely, the magicians from the DCeased one shot never showed up at the end

Part of me is beginning to wonder why this series was necessary at all. I couldn't help but think that the story and tone feels so Harley centric, that this could have been an arc in Harley's own ongoing.
It is good to see Ivy back to her strong and powerful self (however short for) but it would be nice to see more interaction from Ivy. It almost feels like Harley is narrating this enti

Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #2
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are on the run with the Floronic Man hot on their trail, desperate for Poison Ivy to understand her connection to the Green and join his new Parliament of Flowers. Knowing Gotham City isn't the safest place for them under the new Bane order, Harley takes a hard left down a rabbit hole to seek sanctuary with a former pati...
Despite being on the cover and teased for the last 5 issues, the rogues are yet to actually make any sort of play. The year of the villain tie in is gratuitous at this point and serves no point.
Not to mention, this book is so convoluted jumping from black flash to zoom to the sidekicks to the year of the villain. Not very impressive.

By far the best issue of DCeased so far. Such an impressive issue.
The ending of the issue is beyond tragic. Flash and superman fans may not be overly thrilled but their touching character arcs make it all worth it. No doubting that Tom Taylor has earned the praise for this.
DCeased #5
The world is dying at the hands of the infected, and the very survival of humanity is at stake. Facing extinction, Superman and the heroes will make a decision that will fundamentally alter Earth's present...and future!
One could assume DC will try to bury Heroes in Crisis in the past, just ignore it, move along, never mention this piece of filth again... but nope, for some reason the editorial thought we need this comic, probably because they try to push this entire Year of the Villain shtick.
And because it exists to be connective tissue between two major events, the comic sure lack substance, to no one's

The first issue is better than the Harley Quinn run, but still far away from great. I didn't need another story, that reminded me of the utterly stupid written part of HIC, where Harley beat the Trinity. We also still get zero explanation how Ivy even survived, HIC never made that really clear other than Ivy growing back from a Flower ( King apparently rather listens to some toxic twitter Ivy fans more

A fun side story with some of our favourite lesser known heroes. Tom Taylor offers up some fun interactions and great use of humour in a bleak zombie story.
As fun as the issue is, it does beg the question of 'was this a necessary deviation from the main story'.

While the mainstays of the Justice League-Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman - battle the worldwide infection in the pages of DCEASED, a group of other heroes work to stop the impending apocalypse-no matter who they have to kill!

I'm not sure if a spin-off was necessary for DCEASED, after all, it's not like the core series is very deep and requires much exposition. And while I generally enjoyed this issue, especially parts with Constantine, I can't stop thinking this probably should have been a regular entry, not an additional supplementary comic.
It sure has its moments, and shows more desperate side of zombie infest

Issue #1 feels like a bad mix of overarching stories with Heroes in Crisis and Year of the Villain tie ins. It's hard to believe a full series could be anything more than a side story to the other events.
The art is anticlimactic when you consider the promising cover and variant work by Mikel Janin, Artgerm and other incredible artists. It seems almost child like in a way.

I feel like I should have enjoyed this issue more than I did, but for some reason I can't. I don't consider it bad, or even underwhelming, but I didn't love it either. Sure, the Batman plot twist, as well as Ollie, Dinah and Hal's camping were super fun to witness, but overall the comic really felt to me like a chapter coming from one place and leading to another, itself not really having enough i more

A very promising second issue.
I always admire when a writer has the balls to scratch off the biggest characters before the story has really started. Finally a chance to see some of our under appreciated heroes taking to the forefront.
The characterisation is really strong here too (something much needed after heroes in crisis). The chemistry between Harley & Ivy and Ollie &

Finally this piece of crap is over and we can move on with our lives. Forget about it, and its awfulness. Apparently not much changed with this event - Ivy's back and her fan-fic relationship with Harley still exists (sigh...), Wally is alive, well and not insane... Hell, I have a feeling that other than few deaths, nothing happened in Heroes in Crisis. I guess that's a good thing, considering how more

Yeah, these 2.5 points are for the arc, and the art only. Gotta say, it looks great. But the story and characterization is awful beyond belief. So much garbage and unresolved plot points. Like Lois Lane's report - where did it lead, exactly? What did it change? Terrible, terrible event.
It's all ogre now.
As the series concludes, I can't help but think of the initial intent with the series. It was a book that was supposed to highlight the importance of maintaining positive mental health and seeking help when appropriate. For that, we have to acknowledge that King meant well and I applaud him for it.
The unfortunate thing is, every character was painted wit

it's Tom King.
he's killed this series, and he wants to kill the DCU.

The Trinity may have uncovered the true killer responsible for the deaths at Sanctuary, but the artificial intelligence that ran the institution is the one thing standing between them and the culprit. Now Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman must face off with their own creation-and face the consequences for what they created. Also, as the truth is un...
I thought once the characters in this story were dead, they wouldn't be coming back? I guess being reborn is a different ballpark in that case.
While I'm ecstatic that Ivy is back on the playing field, you can't help but think: what was the point of her arc? It literally served no purpose.
Thank our green gods this series ends in two months. The butchery has gone on for too

The level to which this series has been drawn out is just ridiculous. 2/3 the way through and we're no further forward with this completely lacklustre mystery.

The Brexis analogy was wonderful. I laughed out loud at that. I wouldn't, personally, agree with Harley and Ivy's relationship - I found it to feel... inferior to the animated series, honestly. Maybe if Harl referred to Pam as "Red", I'd be more forgiving, but overall I think it was just poorly written and pointless, like the rest of the comic.
Paul Dini's Harley & Ivy will always be the best. I long for the days of Gotham City Sirens. I think the best part about this issue was Mitch Gerads art of the two. I thought he captured them well. The dialogue was wrong of course but baby steps!
If you've heard of Heroes in Crisis, you should already know pefectly it's bad. There's nothing controversial about stating this fact - it may have been when issue #1 came out, but since then, everyone came to realization that, yeah, it's just a piss-poor excuse for a giant comic event as captivating and entertaining as Captain Marvel's movie trailers.

King has a history of pissing them off. Might as well dig that hole deeper.
As long as it is just Ivy I don't really care. She's pretty lame in New52/ Rebirth.
Another great issue. The series continues to be my favourite DC title.
The characterisation of these characters is so spot on. Detective Chimp and Man-Bat have been blessed by Tynion's writing. Despite knowing little about Bobo and thinking of Man-Bat as a one dimensional character, this series has made them two of my favourites.
My only problem with this issue is that the
