While the main DC Universe is concerned with Sixth Dimensions, Doomsday Clocks and a year filled with dastardly villains, the limited series DCeased is examining what would happen if a zombie-like outbreak from Apokolips hit the world.DCeased takes place outside of main DC continuity, which frees it up to feature the deaths and violent turns of many fan-favorite heroes such as Darkseid, Batman and Nightwing -- and that's just in the first issue. Now, with issue #2 just around the corner, series writer Tom Taylor has shared the issue's retailer variant cover.RELATED: DCeased #4 Variant Introduces Chilling Zombie JokerThe cover by Jay Anacleto homages superstar artist Adam Hughes' iconic cover of Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes #23.
