DC Comics launches the new miniseries DC vs. Vampires: World War V this coming Wednesday, and you can sink your teeth into the official preview of the first issue below…

The smash-hit series returns! It’s the dead of winter, and any hope for a fragile truce between the Green Arrow-led human heroes and vampire queen Barbara Gordon’s army has been dashed by Damian Wayne and his guerrilla fighters. He’s the only one fighting back against the bloodthirsty hordes, leaving Green Arrow with a choice: Does he stand and fight or sacrifice the boy in the name of peace?

The Official Synopsis of DC vs Vampires: World War V #3 comic:

PART THREE

The war between vampires and heroes rages on with bloody casualties on all sides, but Damian Wayne, the vampire with the mind of a human, remains the most desired prize in the fray. Both Green Arrow and the vampire army seek to put him down for good, and it’s starting to look like Damian’s days are numbered…until a Dark Knight emerges from the shadows and offers unexpected salvation! And in a backup story written and illustrated by Tyler Boss, everyone’s favorite interdimensional imp, Bat-Mite, pops into our universe…only to learn the sad fate of his Bat idol. There’s other heroes to worship, though, right?…right?

La première maxi était…laborieuse.

Débutée comme une maxi de 12 numéros, elle a été traitée comme un event avec divers tie-in essentiels pour comprendre comment l’histoire avançait sur plusieurs fronts ( et oui, c’est la guerre ! ).

Dans un mic mac pas possible pourtant. Car la gestion des différents fronts des combats était mal gérée. Mais, certaines idées, perdues dans l’immensité des numéros étaient intéressantes mais peu exploitées : les persos de The Authority par exemple : MIngnighter contre Prometheus et leurs ordinateurs de combats intégrés respectifs qui se battent entre eux virtuellement ( donc on ne voit rien ) , Jack Hawksmoore qui changent car les villes elles-mêmes ont changé à cause des vampires. Jenny Spark qui mute car l’esprit du temps mute ( ce qui fait se demander pourquoi l’esprit du 20è siècle vit encore. Mais alors que notre siècle arrive à la fin de son premier quart, difficile d’y voir un siècle qui ne prolonge pas énormément la fin de son grand frère ).

Trop éparpillée , trop incohérente ( quelqu’un a compris comment le vampirisme se répand ? Parfois on a le sentiment que c’est par simple morsure, d’autres fois qu’il faut échange de sang ; pourquoi le vilain qui était un héros a foutu le binz ? ) .
