Hear that? That’s the sound of my maniacal laughter echoing through the blood-soaked ruins of Earth-63! Matthew Rosenberg and Otto Schmidt didn’t just drop DC vs. Vampires: World War V #6; they detonated a narrative bomb that vaporized any lingering sympathy I had for certain traitorous leeches. When Darkseid, the cosmic tyrant himself, stormed onto that cliffside and confronted Vampire Queen Batgirl and her slimy lieutenant Aquaman, I felt the multiverse hold its breath. And oh, sweet oblivion, what followed was pure, unadulterated catharsis! Darkseid wasn’t there for pleasantries; he demanded answers about his missing granddaughter, the vampiric god-child of Mister Miracle and Big Barda. But instead of Barbara Gordon speaking up? That backstabbing, crown-coveting sea snake Arthur Curry slithered forward. He actually BRAGGED about dragging Mister Miracle and the innocent baby into the icy depths! My jaw hit the floor faster than a Kryptonian under red sun rays. darkseid-crushed-aquaman-i-cheered-like-earth-63-s-last-survivor-image-0

And then... GLORY. Darkseid’s fist closed around Aquaman like the inexorable jaws of entropy. CRUNCH. One moment, Arthur was sneering like a tapeworm in the DC universe’s intestines; the next, he was just... paste. A wet, crimson stain on Darkseid’s knuckles. I erupted! Cheering? I was practically conducting a symphony of schadenfreude! 🎻🔥 Don’t get me wrong, folks. Normally, seeing a founding Leaguer get Omega Sanctioned into oblivion would gut me. But this version of Aquaman? He wasn’t just a villain; he was a walking betrayal, a treachery so profound it made Granny Goodness look like Mary Poppins. His relentless scheming to usurp Barbara, his cold-blooded murder of Scott Free and an infant? He deserved that fist more than Apokolips deserves despair. He wasn't just disloyal; he was the rot at the heart of the vampire resistance, a festering wound finally cauterized. darkseid-crushed-aquaman-i-cheered-like-earth-63-s-last-survivor-image-1

Now, do I think Mister Miracle and the baby are actually dead? HA! Not a chance. Scott Free’s the ultimate escape artist! Trapping him underwater is like trying to cage entropy with a shoebox. And Otto Schmidt’s art? Pure magic.

  • Why They MUST Be Alive: Rosenberg spent issues building up that hybrid child's importance! Killing them offscreen? That’s narrative malpractice. Scott’s power is escapology. Water? Pfft. Child's play!

  • Aquaman’s Fate Was Sealed Anyway: Survival doesn't absolve Arthur! Attempting infanticide? That’s a one-way ticket to the grave, courtesy of a very angry grandpa-god. His death was a mercy to the narrative, a vile character excised with prejudice. He died thinking he won. How deliciously tragic. darkseid-crushed-aquaman-i-cheered-like-earth-63-s-last-survivor-image-2

So, Darkseid’s here. He’s PISSED. He’s vowed to BURN Earth-63 to cinders. And honestly? I. CAN’T. WAIT. Who’s next on his hit list? That grinning vampire Joker? Powerless, cowardly vampire Superman? Bring. It. On. Watching Darkseid carve through the undead ranks will be like watching a supernova swallow a dwarf star – inevitable, spectacular, and utterly terrifying.

Who I Want Darkseid To Target Next Who He Better Leave ALONE
Vampire Lex Luthor (Too smug by half!) GREEN ARROW (Our last human hope!)
Vampire Deathstroke (Needs humbling) BIG BARDA (She’s suffered enough!)
Vampire Sinestro (Yellow fear meets Omega force!) ROBIN (Touch him, Darkseid, and we RIOT!) 🚫

Seriously, if that Omega Beam so much as singes a hair on Damian’s vampire head... there will be words. Loud, incoherent, fanboy rage-filled words. The human resistance bleeds enough! Let Darkseid’s wrath rain down on the real monsters. But that cover for #7? Darkseid looming? Chills. Utter chills. My excitement is a live wire, crackling with anticipation. Who falls next in this glorious, gory symphony? darkseid-crushed-aquaman-i-cheered-like-earth-63-s-last-survivor-image-3
