Vandal Savage's group has decided to join Jason's and things can only go so well in a world where the undead rule.
This series gives me such conflict of interests.
Tom Taylor offers a new installment where he plays with the idea of a team of supervillains surviving zombies. There are very cool moments like when Slade and the others interact with Gordon and his group, especially when Taylor pulls-off charming moments like the villains getting used to a more quiet life and some of them even getting fond of the kids they have to take care of (Cheetah acting like a real cat with one of them being the highlight). The little character moments in Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain shows that Taylor actually gets this cast.
That would be the case if the rest of the characters didn't sound so off which is something that is typical from Taylor. For example, most of the others are portrayed in a rather shallow way where their base personality is just what you get and those are the lucky ones since some like Deadshot seem badly portrayed due that he's ready to get rid of the children while Slade doesn't when what makes him different from Deathstroke is that Floyd actually cares about his daughter despite of being a psychopath, then again, this doesn't come much of a surprise considering how much of a non-entity Deadshot is in Taylor's Suicide Squad.
On the other hand, the pacing is good, the action is logically brutal and there's more content than usual for a Taylor book.
Karl Mostert handles the art and he's pretty good in terms of characters and gore, lots of detail overall.
Mixed feelings about this, not sure what to expect next.
