DC vs Vampires: World War V (2024-) #7

by Matthew Rosenberg, Otto Schmidt (Artist), Pasquale Qualano (Artist)

The child of Mister Miracle and Big Barda has been heralded as the only one capable of ending the war between vampires and humans…or so Granny Goodness says. Has her savior narrative just been a smoke screen for the arrival of Darkseid?

"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.

I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

Great add on story at the end, super messed up. Good main story lots of waging war.

Reading this book immediately after two issues of the New Gods, it makes me realize exactly why I don’t enjoy that book. Here, the mythology of the New Gods are woven into the world, whereas in the New Gods series, it is a complete, separate thing. Four stars only because the art is starting to slip.

Feeling aggressively neutral about this. I’m not really having fun with this series anymore, not like I was with the original and All Out War. The story is moving really slowly, but at least something is finally happening with Harley Quinn.

This was good. I’m excited to see where it goes

Great issue. We go back to this world in full force. I normally dislike the use of cosmic villains in genre settings as they threaten to make the narrative more generic, but I think it works here for one reason only: The story is still about humans and vampires. Now it's simply that their conflict has to take a different shape because a third party threatens to terminate them all.

I hope they explore the tensions between both groups and do an itneresting twist on the premise, which has a lot of promise.

DC Vs Vampires is one my favourite series', I love em all, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about this detour into a different story. I get it, DC are making Darkseid a central point in a lot of their series right now, but this one just feels forced. I just feel like it didn't need to happen. Hopefully it doesn't become the main story I fear it already is heading to.

Good issue. A tense race agaisnt the clock fighting an impossible opponent, it allows for soem of the more villanous characters to show a new side of their personality.
