I'm not much of a DC Comics fan in general, but the company has just announced a couple new horror titles that sound like they could be pretty cool. Both arriving on October 26th, just in time for some Halloween reading, are DC vs. Vampires and Task Force Z.
From the creative team of James Tynion IV, Matthew Rosenberg, and Otto Schmidt, DC vs. Vampires is a "special, standalone twelve-issue maxiseries" where
the Justice League discovers that, while they’ve been monitoring the skies for intergalactic threats, a new enemy has been hiding on earth all along. The series will pit the Justice League against a secret army of vampires, leaving our heroes unsure of who they can trust.
Cover art for DC vs. Vampires can be seen below, and if you weren't sold by the description you might be sold by the image of Batman and Green Arrow wielding bloody weapons while surrounded by an army of bloodsuckers.
Matthew Rosenberg is also writing Task Force Z, which features artwork by Eddy Barrows and inks by Eber Ferreira. Here's the synopsis:
On A-Day, hundreds of Gotham City’s most dangerous and deranged criminals were left dead after an attack on Arkham Asylum and now, they’re getting a second chance at life. A mysterious benefactor is bringing together a new Task Force and has recruited the only person who could lead them, someone who knows what it’s like to come back from a brutal death: Red Hood. Now Jason Todd has to unravel the mystery surrounding this team of the recently deceased while leading a line-up of some of Gotham City’s worst criminals who’ve ever lived: Bane. Man-Bat. The Arkham Knight. Sundowner. Mr. Bloom.
I'm more interested in DC vs. Vampires than I am in Task Force Z, but I like the ideas of both of them. The Task Force Z cover art can be seen below as well.
