I remember reading the "Death" comics back in my late teenage years. So when I stumbled upon this 2019 DC animated short in 2022, of course I had to sit down and see what writer J. M. DeMatteis and director Sam Liu would do with an animated version of the character and story concept.
Color me impressed. While just running at a mere 19 minutes, then writer J. M. DeMatteis managed to capture the essence of the comic books and delivered a very wholehearted storyline and script. I was surprised with the outcome of "DC Showcase: Death" and it certainly was a very nice addition to the "DC Showcase" entries.
The storyline told in "DC Showcase: Death" was enjoyable and it was something that felt it captured the spirit and essence of the comic book universe. And it was also at the same time a very beautiful story, so it was a win-win here.
The art style and animation style used in this 2019 short was good. It was very pleasing for the eyes, and it certainly was nice to see "Death" brought to life on the screen.
I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch "DC Showcase: Death", if you enjoyed the comic books or enjoy the "DC Showcase" series.
My rating of "DC Showcase: Death" lands on an eight out of ten stars.
