Comfort the Dying: After all concerned parties are assured that Damian's act of sacrifice is the only option, Spectre!Alfred and Jon Kent/Superman travel to wait with Damian before his final death, as Alfred's powers will allow him to get himself and Jon to safety before the Life Equation "detonates". If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: Subverted and Played for Laughs; Deathstroke warns Jason about ever hurting Rose... but it's because Rose can see the future, and he warns that if she finds out Jason is going to hurt her, she'll kill him. Issue six shows that a cure has finally been made, and the heroes ready to spread their cure. Cue the AMAZO Army and Trigon who then come, making it a race against time to now save what's left of the Anti-Living. Chekhov's Gunman: It turns out the narrator of the story is one of the orphaned children taken in by group. Their identity is revealed to be Mary Marvel, who manages to fight off the Zombiefied Wonder Woman in the final issue.

Metaphorgotten: Played for Laughs; Vandal Savage uses the survival of a thought-to-be-extinct species of tree lobster as a metaphor for himself and his group of survivors. The Creeper immediately starts treating "The Tree Lobsters" as a sort of team name, complete with t-shirts, pendants, baseball caps, and a theme song. Anachronism Stew: The starting point of the series depicts a universe that subtly blends continuity details from both the pre- and post-Flashpoint DCU.Just in Time: Superman arrives just in time to destroy the smart phone and television in the Kent family apartment, saving Lois, Jon, and Damian from becoming infected. Sadly subverted when he's too late getting to Smallville to save his own father.

Friend to All Children: The villains gradually develop bonds with the kids as they teach them how to survive. Deadshot and Cheetah are more obvious with this. Deadshot got killed while saving a kid from Mirror Master. Always a Bigger Fish: The virus is constantly seeking to infect new and stronger supers, culminating in Anti-life Superman. This trope works in the heroes favor later, with the arrival of an even bigger fish. Ganthet and the Green Lantern Corps.

The sequel also received critical acclaim with critics praising the art, plot, and the optimistic finale. According to Comic Book Roundup, the series has a score of 8.7 out of 10. [18] See also [ edit ] Simultaneous Arcs: A Good Day to Die is a side-story that takes place during the main series. Near the end of the one-shot, Waverider uses his time powers to "see" that Superman has just found the Flash in Keystone City, an event that takes place early in Issue #4 of the main series. Required Secondary Power: Darkly averted in the final issue while Deathstroke and Creeper's healing factors makes them immune to the Anti-Life Equation. With that said, their healing factors does not make them immortal, meaning they just as susceptible to any limb or organ loss. They both meet their ends to rampaging Zombie Wonder Woman. The journey was not always perfect but ultimately Tom Taylor, Trevor Hairsine, and Lucas Meyer delivered when it counted with DCeased: War Of The Undead Gods #8 being a strong end to the story. The DCeased Universe as a whole will easily go down as one of the best stories in DC Comics modern era. Captain Atom is considered to be this to the United States government. As the Equation spreads, Amanda Waller sends him out to destroy as many of the infected as he can with his atomic powers. When he detonates after becoming infected, the destruction is incomprehensible: the unleashed energy destroys Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and even reaches Metropolis.

As time passes Alfred uses his Spectre powers to visit the new universe Damian created and reflects on how he misses his sons. End of story. REVIEW Issue 4: The Guardians of the Universe have decided the best thing to do is just murder the Anti-Living... oh, and Mr. Mxyzptlk shows up, too. The infected Superman enters the sun to destroy it and Earth with it, not to restore the sun and save Earth; plus, the Unstoppable-Force Immovable-Object quote.

Success!

Swamp Thing links Damian, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Wally West, Detective Chimp, Mary Marvel, and Cyborg to the Green to create the cure. Mister Miracle convinces Green Canary to let Big Barda be the first test subject and she is subsequently healed when Jon injects the cure into her. Zatanna and the Phantom Stranger confront Constantine on his actions but, following another message from Etrigan, Constantine tells everyone that the villains are about to unleash their Amazo army to destroy the Anti-Living. Using his super-speed, Wally is able to mass-produce the cure and he and Jon attempt to deliver it to as many people as possible before they are destroyed by the Amazos or by Trigon, who manifests in Paris. Even zombified Badass Normals can still use some of their skills. For example, the infected Nightwing and Red Robin can still use their agility to out-maneuver Batman, who is quite agile himself, and the zombified Birds of Prey can still use enough agility to swoop down from Gotham buildings like they used to do when they were alive.
