DC will give readers what they want this summer\u2014bigger, louder, faster, and \u201cmetal-er\u201c\u2014as the publisher announced its plans for\u00a0Dark Nights: Death Metal<\/em>, the sequel to the smash-hit 2017-18 series\u00a0Dark Nights: Metal<\/em>, which brought widespread changes to the DC universe and introduced fans to the Dark Multiverse and a runaway-hit villain, the Batman Who Laughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new\u00a0Dark Nights: Death Metal<\/em>\u00a0series means an encore for the original team of hardcore headbangers: the bestselling team of writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo, along with inker Jonathan Glapion and colorist FCO Plascencia. Issue #1 of this six-issue miniseries hits comic book stores and online retailers on May 13, 2020. The series will also include several \u201cMetalverse\u201d one-shots throughout the summer months, expanding the vast world created by the\u00a0Death Metal<\/em>\u00a0storyline.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting to do this story since we finished Dark Nights: Metal<\/em>,\u201d said Snyder. \u201cAs much as it was a complete event, we left some threads hanging there for sure. I\u2019d hoped that if people liked the first series enough, we\u2019d have a chance to set up something bigger, and that\u2019s our plan for Death Metal<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor all of us, Dark Nights: Death Metal <\/em>is about the fun factor,\u201d adds Capullo. \u201cComics should be fun, bombastic, and over-the-top. This series is going to be exciting and jam-packed with great \u2018metal-esque\u2019 moments that will make fans lose their minds when they see them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new series spins out of the events of Scott Snyder\u2019s Justice League<\/em> run and the Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen<\/em> miniseries by James Tynion IV. The Earth has been consumed by Dark Multiverse energy, having been conquered by the Batman Who Laughs and his evil lieutenants, corrupted versions of Shazam, Donna Troy, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Hawkman, and Commissioner Jim Gordon. Some heroes, like Wonder Woman and the Flash, have made compromises as they negotiate to keep humanity alive in this hell-born landscape. Others, like Batman, are part of an underground resistance looking to take back control of their world. Superman is imprisoned, cursed to literally power Earth\u2019s sun for eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a mysterious figure provides Wonder Woman with vital information she might be able to use to rally Earth\u2019s remaining heroes to resist the Batman Who Laughs. Can the Justice League break away from the Dark Multiverse and defeat Perpetua?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDark Nights: Metal<\/em> was an absolute game-changer for DC,\u201d said DC SVP and editor-in-chief Bob Harras. \u201cIt was a crazy roller-coaster ride that gave us not only the Batman Who Laughs, but a story that was so crazy over-the-top, it kept our readers on the edge of their seats with every issue, and I expect Scott, Greg, FCO, and Jonathan will tell a story with even higher stakes, and definitely more Joker dragons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Nights: Death Metal<\/em> is a six-issue monthly series with issues #1-3 shipping in May, June, and July, then resuming in September, October, and November. Issue #1 will be available in comic book stores and participating online retailers on Wednesday, May 13, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
