In Earth's darkest hour, heroes will bring hope in this new addition to the DCeased saga, taking place within the timeline of the original epic! DCeased became a smash horror hit in 2019 by offering a twisted version of the DC Universe infected by the Anti-Life Equation, transforming heroes and villains alike into mindless monsters. DCeased: Hope At World's End, previously only available digitally, expands the world of that original DCeased series by filling in that story's time jump and focusing on characters including Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Stephanie Brown, Wally West, and Jimmy Olsen. In DCeased: Hope At World's End, the Anti-Life Equation has infected over a billion people on Earth. Heroes and villains have fallen. In the immediate aftermath of the destruction of Metropolis, Superman and Wonder Woman spearhead an effort to stem the tide of infection, preserve and protect survivors, and plan for what's next. In the Earth's darkest hour, heroes will bring hope! The war for Earth has only just begun! This volume collects DCeased: Hope At World's End chapters 1-14.

The saga of Earth-2 reaches its cataclysmic conclusion! The heroes of Earth-2 have been brave and bold in their resistance to the forces of Darkseid, but some enemies cannot be defeated. Sometimes the inevitable can’t be stopped-and now their Earth is being devoured by Apokolips. Humanity’s only hope is escape. But with Darkseid’s legions descending on Earth, it will take the combined might of every superhero on the planet just to give humanity a fighting chance. While Batman and his granddaughter Huntress go searching for Bruce Wayne’s secret doomsday contingency, the last survivors of Krypton-Power Girl and Superman-must face their own powerlessness in the face of Darkseid. While an entire planet fights for survival, the fate of the human race may ultimately come down to one man: Alan Scott, the Green Lantern, chosen Avatar of the Green. But in humanity’s final hour, will Alan have what it takes to wield the power of all the Avatars and fulfill his true destiny? Features writers Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse), Marguerite Bennett (SUPERMAN: LOIS LANE), Mike Johnson (SUPERGIRL) and Cullen Bunn (GREEN LANTERN: THE LOST ARMY), along with an incredible team of artists including Robson Rocha (BIRDS OF PREY), Tyler Kirkham (ACTION COMICS) and many more!
