The first time Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo created a comic book event storyline for DC, they introduced the Dark Multiverse, cracked the walls in reality and called it Dark Nights: Metal. This summer, they’re doing it all again with a follow-up called — what else? — Dark Nights: Death Metal.

The ambitious six-issue series picks up plot threads from the past couple of years of DC comic books including Justice League, Year of the Villain, Batman/Superman as well as the first Metal series as the Earth has been consumed by Dark Multiverse energy, leaving the few remaining heroes with few options to save humanity. But a mysterious figure might be about to change everything … if they can reach Wonder Woman in time.

Death Metal will run in two three-month blocks, from May through July, then September through November, with additional “Metalverse” special issues already planned to accompany the series.

I do like those designs.

Anyone else remember when heroes at DC got to be actual heroes?
When they weren't all misery porn and reacting to the villains already winning?
And when they put more thought into villains and AUs beyond the drawings of edgy 13-year-olds?
Anyone?

Death Metal? Okay, I just learned you can guffaw and roll your eyes at the same time.

'Dark Multiverse Energy!' What, you couldn't even make up a name for it? Emo-Edgy-ium?

Edgelordium?

Metal-AF-ium?

I really liked Wonder Woman in the first one, so I’m glad to see her get a bigger role this time.

Plus, the Azzarello run insinuated Wonder Woman is a metalhead.

Next year: Dark Nights: Metalcore.

Why are we jumping to Death Metal? Couldn't we have some other Metals before it came to that? Heavy Metal? Symphonic Metal?

[cainofdreaming]

Hair Metal would have been great.

I really hope this team does a third one about The Flash called Speed Metal.

Well, judging by the look of Superman and Wonder Woman on that cover, we're not that far off from Hair Metal...

I couldn't resist.
