DC vs. Vampires: World War V Vol. 2 - Hardcover

by Matthew Rosenberg (Author), Shane McCarthy (Author), Otto Schmidt (Illustrator)

The world is dying, frozen, and drowning in blood--and the only thing more dangerous than the monsters ruling it are the heroes who have lost everything. DC vs. Vampires: World War V Vol. 2 is a story of fragile trust and impossible choices as humans and vampires face an extinction event they can't outrun alone.

Barbara Gordon rules the night. Darkseid descends from the stars. And the survivors of the old world--broken heroes, reluctant monsters, and the remnants of humanity--are forced into alliances that test every wound they've carried. In a wasteland where hope feels colder than the ice itself, every sacrifice counts, every betrayal scars, and every victory comes drenched in loss. This is the moment when the living and the dead decide what their world is worth--and what they're willing to destroy to keep it.

Collects the epic conclusion of DC Vs. Vampires: World War V with issues #7-12.
