Why DCEased Will Be An Even Bigger Part of DC Lore Than We Thought [Spoilers]

There's a reason that the upcoming series DCeased is getting such a big push from DC Comics that goes beyond what ostensibly looked like a re-warming of Marvel Zombies, with the Earth overrun by a techno-virus turning everyone into violent murderers, Crossed-style.

The series has a number of variant covers, and retailer exclusive covers, something reserved for DC's biggest books.

So what's going on?

It all began when I was passed some imagery that featured the Omega symbol writ large, which intrigued me enough to dig deeper. And then it all fell into place. The mysterious techno-virus released on Earth, a quote about 'its rider was death' in the solicitation, and more.Well  that would be the Black Racer.

The Omega symbol would be Darkseid.

And the techno-virus spreading across the planet? The Anti-Life equation, finally solved.

It's a big Walking Dead-Meets-Jack Kirby book right in the middle of the summer.

Darkseid isn't.
