Dark Nights: Metal #1 kicks off the biggest comic event of the summer
Dark Nights: Metal #1 is the biggest comic book event of the summer. How is Metal going to change the DC Comics universe?
As if Rebirth and the upcoming Doomsday Clock weren’t enough for DC Comics, the biggest comic book event of the summer has arrived with Dark Nights: Metal #1. The story kicks off with a bang and is nonstop from there. By the end of #1 the entire universe as we know it has been turned upside down and inside out.
Here’s what DC Comics says about Dark Nights: Metal #1:
"“DARK NIGHTS: METAL #1, from The New York Times best-selling team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, will expand the DCU as we know it. DARK DAYS: THE FORGE and THE CASTING hinted at a mysterious darkness, lurking, but the truth of its devastation has not been seen until now. Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and the heroes of the Justice League will venture further than they ever have before—or risk all of humanity to the Dark Multiverse.” “METAL is a story that touches on some of my favorite DC stories past and present, and connects deeply to the run Greg and I did on Batman. It pushes the characters to their very limits, and takes us into realms that are completely new and unexplored in the DCU. It’s Kirby meets Frazetta with a dash of heavy metal thrown in. It’s METAL, and I hope you love it as much as both Greg and I do. Thank you.” — SCOTT SNYDER“I’m looking forward to rock’n and roll’n together again. Fans have been loud and clear; they want more from us. We’re primed and ready to blow it up.” — GREG CAPULLO"
Dark Nights: Metal #1 is the story Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo have always wanted to write, and it will blow your mind.This is a tale that must be read to be fully appreciated because words just don’t do it justice.
