A fast-spreading virus. People instantly turning violent. The world consumed by blood, panic, and death. This isn’t the latest installment of The Walking Dead but a new six-issue DC Comics event starting May 1 called DCeased, spearheaded by writer Tom Taylor with artists Trevor Hairsine, Stefan Gaudiano, James Harren and Rain Beredo. If you recognize Taylor’s name from the mega hit Injustice, then you already know DC’s characters are in for a really, really rough time.
“The idea originated with editor Ben Abernathy. He had an idea to do a horror/zombie tale at DC, and hit me up to ask if I’d like to be involved. At the time I was pretty busy, but over the next few days, my mind was racing,” Taylor told IGN. “I couldn’t stop thinking of new and terrible ways to torture my favorite heroes in ways that made Injustice look tame by comparison.”
