I have been debating on the latest DCeased series. Is it any good?

So far it is.  Not as good as the original but a decent epilogue to the series.

Image! 30th Anthology #3, 4, & 5 (of 12) - Lots of different stories here - some good, some bad, and some terrible.  But enough good to keep me around.  I’m mainly reading for the Geoff Johns story which has been entertaining.  It’s not worth the $3.99 cover price but I’m saving enough money by using Hoopla that I figured what the hay.

House of Slaughter #10 - End of the second arc and very creepy!  I enjoyed this arc much better than the first one.  Love the focus on different characters in different houses.

We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #14 -
Newdawn’s history and the explanations for her actions are the focus of this one.  Still enjoying this.

“The Diner” by James Tynion - Good story and runs about the way you would expect.
“‘Til Dawn” by Stephanie Phillips - Love me a good WWII story.
“Threshold” by Johnnie Christmas - Yuck.  A little too disgusting for my taste.
“Bad Year” by Pornsak Pichetshote - That was a weird one.  Pretty decent.
“Into the Fire” by Matt Walsh - Nice bringing it all together story.  Was this the series end?  It definitely could be.

Dark Crisis: Big Bang 1 - Barry Allen adventures with Dan Jurgens art; I'm pleased!!!
Danger Street 1 - wow, what was this?! LOL
WildCATS 1 & 2 - I will continually always try this book now because of Joe Casey's WildCATs 3.0 book. I'm good with reading this right now!!
Batman Incorporated 3 - I'm not...disagreeing with the secondary characters to Ghost-maker. Batman's ability to decide to ignore the evil (okay, murders) of his allies is situational, and well, not really well thought out.
Superman Son of Kal-El 18- Pedestrian art. Cheery, but 'feels' vapid. Nothing I will remember or recommend, but glad I'm not angry at it? A new villain, and well, ...it's okay


Marvel Unlimited
AXE Starfox #1 - good enough issue to move the plot
AXE X-Men #1  - gotcha Jean Grey powerful. Very meh for my pleasures
Ant-Man #4  - Just fun! Glad I did read this!!
X-Men Red #7 - I don't know, nor have I paid much attention to the Arakka society, but the strength of this was Storm, and the written page of text for the one who never loses. I almost NEVER read the text pages. But it was worth it. However, Council members and such are very uninteresting to me, particularly on Mars.
Hulk 9 - Counseling part of the issue was fine, feel I've read it before, so just a holding issue
Spider-man 1 - I SO hate Morlun, and Spider-verse. Why am I reading this? Because it might be the 'end' of all that? That's my hope!!

MUST READ
Captain America: Steve 5
Thor and Mighty Jane 5
New FF 5 (cuz I read the others
