The hit series DC vs. Vampires is back and ready to sink its teeth into your winter nights with a brand-new Elseworlds tale! As the frost settles in, the fragile truce between Green Arrow's human heroes and the fearsome vampire queen, Barbara Gordon, has crumbled—thanks to Damian Wayne and his ragtag band of guerrilla fighters. With the bloodthirsty undead on the prowl, it’s up to Damian to hold the line. Now, Green Arrow faces a gut-wrenching decision: should he rally his troops for a fierce fight, or does he sacrifice the young hero for the sake of peace? Get ready for a wild ride filled with action, tough choices, and the ultimate showdown against the darkness!


As winter grips the DC Universe, the fragile truce between Green Arrow's human heroes and Barbara Gordon's vampire army is precarious, further threatened by Damian Wayne and his guerrilla fighters. Green Arrow faces a tough choice: protect Damian or sacrifice him for a peace that may never materialize.
DC vs. Vampires: World War V #1 plunges readers into a chilling world dominated by vampires and a decimated superhero community. The issue opens with Green Lanterns John Stewart and Kyle Rayner returning from a year in space, only to discover their fellow heroes have been turned into vampires by Wonder Woman. In a brave but futile fight, both Lanterns fall, leaving John's ring floating as a cliffhanger for future issues.
Batwoman—now a vampire—who remains entangled in the conflict against Barbara's forces. The remaining heroes struggle with conflicting ideals as Vampire-Gorilla Grodd urges the human council to confront Damian. Meanwhile, Green Arrow is determined to stop the war and win it, offering important context for the events leading to this moment.
The story shifts to New Jersey, where a new Batman in an Earth-2 Bat-Suit appears. We see Barbara's duality as the Vampire Queen, pretending to maintain a truce while secretly running "farms" of captive humans. Her intentions are unclear, leading to a cliffhanger that jeopardizes vampire-human relations.
Overall, World War V #1 is an exciting return to a high-stakes DC Universe, challenging beloved heroes unexpectedly. As we look forward to the next installment, this issue reignites intrigue in the DC Universe, particularly regarding characters like Supergirl, and promises a fresh take on the vampire genre where the lines between hero and monster blur.
