Dceased: Dead Planet

Product Information

Quickly realizing how the infection is spreading, Superman flies to his apartment where his wife, Lois Lane, his son, Jonathan Samuel Kent (Superboy,) and Damian Wayne (Robin) are watching television. Before they can proceed an infected Wonder Woman slams into the Batmobile while a horde of infected swarm the group. The threat of the Amazo robots while Trigon is invading and them having find a cure to the virus and what that entails and the drama there and so many high stakes its brilliant, the way Jon and Damian are written is awesome but its constantine who steals the show and its one of the best re-reads I have had and it just gets better everytime. Using the lasso, they are able to get Cyborg to speak, but their reunion with the hero is short lived as a horde of anti-living were 10 minutes from their current location, resulting in the League grabbing Cyborg's body, head and escaping, however as they flee, the ship that many other leaguers arrive on is hit by something, causing not only damage to the vessel, but also destroying major sections of the ship, with Jon able to save the part where his comrades were located.

The remaining characters finally relax, but not before erecting a statue of the fallen villains, as a memorial for their sacrifice.The villains slowly start to bond with the kids, Deadshot teaches a boy named Zaid how to shoot with a slingshot, Solomon Grundy plays with the children, and Cheetah grows attached to a girl named Matilda. Though it didn't work at first, it soon took effect, completely curing Barda of the Anti-Living Virus. Miracle offers up the crystal ball, but before he can obtain it, the League ambush him, but fail to remove him from the chair and he attempts to flee.

One night, while patrolling the orphanage, Bane gets slashed by an infected Mirror Master, while Deadshot sacrifices himself to save Zaid from being taken by him. The survivors regroup and continue towards Gotham as Ivy's garden comes into view, but also discover a massive horde of Anti-Living outside of it. Back in Gotham, at the Tower of Fate however, Zatanna bursts through the door kept secret by Constantine, as well as the arrival of Phantom Stranger, who attacks him for his actions and remarks, but before this could escalate, Jason Blood arrives and warns of Trigon's imminent arrival. Meanwhile in Gotham, as Jon is being tended to, Damian is sewing up his uniform when Commissioner James Gordon sees Damian and greets him, to which Damian responds with hugging him. That's when they learn that Jon's father is still within the sun, absorbing solar energy, even after 5 long years.He is truly fantastic at juggling many characters and knowing where they are and their roles to play. Jimmy Olsen saves some of his co-workers in the initial outbreak of the virus and documents the heroes' actions throughout the DCeased event. Perhaps the issue isn't a lack of character building and more a reliance on Fourth World and Justice League Dark characters. They also learn from Kilowog because of Superman's absorption of the solar energy, the Earth is getting cooler as well.
