DC Comics has shed new light surrounding their next DC vs. Vampires series, “World War V.” Launching August 14th, the Elseworlds story can be preordered starting May 17th. Writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Otto Schmidt reunite in this 12-issue series to tell a brand-new tale, extending the lore created in the original DC vs. Vampires and DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War.
Check out the preview art and story details below!
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. Damian is 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?
Not only will this new Elseworlds series build upon the compelling storylines from the previous DC vs. Vampires series, but readers can also expect to see reimagined versions of current DC superheroes in this dark and terrifying world.
The covers are by Jae Lee, Otto Schmidt, Beach, Riley Rossmo, and Cizmesija.
