Dark Nights: Metal (comic)
·
27 on Dark Nights: Metal #6 reviewHere it is at last. The final installment in the long-running Metal event. Two months ago we saw an aged Bruce and Clark leaping across the Forge of Worlds, then sinking into the forge itself. We also saw Diana going toe to toe with Black Adam, and afterward, together with Kendra, leaping into battle. Most…
Metal #5 continues to juggle the different plot threads that we saw in the preceding episode, with the exception of The Flash, who we have not seen since Metal #4. This issue, right from the opening page, screams METAL in your face, as the metal spirit is infused with every single panel. Compared to the…
Scott Snyder (Script) Greg Capullo (Pencils) Jonathan Glapion (Inks) FCO Plascencia (Colors) In this month’s Metal the heroes have split up in smaller teams, all with a mission of their own. While the multiple story arcs are fun to read in their own right, the pacing is so relentlessly fast that it can be hard…
Wonderbat! It's the romance you've demanded here at last, just long enough for it to be broken by a dead Diana and a Bruce who's let the guano go to his brain! How did the Dark Knight of Gotham become the Prince of the Dark Knights? Find out in Batman: The Merciless #1! Spoilers ahead!…
If you're like me, you read Dark Nights: Metal #3 and thought "you know what this world needs? More Detective Chimp." Well, friend, you're in luck, because that's exactly what we're getting. First announced at New York Comic-Con, the upcoming one-shot Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt will expand on the story of Metal by…
Rock'n Roll, seedy dim lit bars, jukeboxes, and more characters throwing up the sign of the horns than you can shake a stick at. With the first two issues of Metal, we were introduced to the mystery of the Dark Multiverse, and the rock/metal connotations seemed like little more than a clever marketing scheme that…
Heavy riffs. Driving bass lines. Infectious drum grooves. Metal. In one of the more obvious ideas of corporate synergy, it was announced today that a soundtrack is being curated for Dark Nights: Metal. Music has been a recurring theme in Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's rock opus, with references ranging from the obvious to the…
What if the indomitable will of Bruce Wayne, rather than promising to avenge his murdered parents, instead received the most powerful weapon in the universe and possessed the ability to avenge them on the spot? Would premature access to such extraordinary means corrupt the grieving young Bruce, or would it make him the ultimate force…
Let's get this out of the way up front: "the Murder Machine" is a pretty silly name. And it's not like the other Dark Knights are being subtle either: Devastator? Red Death? The Drowned? You know what these guys are about. Murder Machine is probably the most on-the-nose of the lot, but you know what?…
We get our first spotlight on Metal’s Dark Batmen with Batman: Black Racer Red Death #1. Oh, sorry… Was that telling? Batman: Red Death is ok. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible either. One of the things I think we’re going to come across with these evil Batmen, are comparisons. Clearly just looking…
One of the biggest negatives I had while reading the first issue of Dark Nights: Metal, was the sensation that I was missing out by not having previously read all the things that were being referenced. When reading Batman comics, I typically take for granted the fact that I understand ever reference and subtle nuance…
The last of the Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse has been revealed as we finally have a look at the solo outing for the Devastator. Sure, Devastator has made appearances in promo materials before, but Newsarama has a first look at Jason Fabok's cover for the upcoming one-shot. Devastator here looks an awful lot…
Metal #2 hasn't even come out yet and we already get a look at October's third issue. Check the gallery below for a few of Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion's uncolored pages. Hard to say what's going on, but we do get a look at the Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse riding some horses…
Of all the Dark Knights that Metal has teased, none are as intriguing as the Batman Who Laughs. For a time, the reason for that was his the very mystery surrounding him; save for brief glimpses, the character has been all but absent from any publicity. Riccardo Federici, the artist behind the SDCC reveal of…
The crazy train that is Metal keeps on rolling as even more tie-in information has been announced. First is Hawkman: Found, a one-shot that follows up on the events of both the excellent Death of Hawkman miniseries as well as the upcoming Batman: Lost one-shot. Per DC: One of DC’S greatest heroes is missing! No one has…
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's bonkers, insanely fun rock and roll event Metal kicked off this week, promising some melt-your-face-off action and some deep-dives into DC's history and Multiverse. It's not all fun and games, though: a mysterious mountain has appeared in the middle of Gotham City, leaving the city in a state of disarray, and the…
If you're just here for the review portion of this article, it starts about half way down. I'm going to preface this review with some of my personal preferences in regards to Batman, and comics in general, to give you a basis for what is bound to have some effect on the way I see…
Metal #1 is still over a week away, yet variant covers for the second issue are already making the rounds. The header image is the main cover from Capullo, Glapion, and Plascencia, and check out the gallery below for covers from Jim Lee (rad jet-skis!), John Romita, Jr. (Swamp Thing!), and Andy Kubert (...sphinxes and…
It's August, and you know what that means: Metal is almost upon us. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's upcoming miniseries promises to be a bonkers, melt-your-face-off good time of rock and roll and comic book craziness, with a tale that spans the entirety of the DCU... included corners we didn't even know about. With Batman…
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are preparing to melt our faces off with the forthcoming Dark Nights: Metal miniseries. In addition to the six-part main title there will also be several one-shots, each focusing on the Dark Batmen of the Dark Multiverse. From DC: SDCC: THE “DARK KNIGHTS” RISE! Final Versions of Evil Batmen revealed…
