First look at DC event METAL
>Aquaman gets a stick
Looks dumb
>That Aquaman
we peter david now
I didn't think it was gonna be quite so literal.
>Still Cyborg
Warner let it go.
>hero is stuck in a gladiator arena
aren't we done with this yet
If they wanted to be true to the title, at least one of the characters would need to wield a guitar as a battle axes at some point
Snyder literally said that this was going to be stupid and fun
designs fucking suck.
Ok, so we finally know what it's about, and I'm mildly excited
Wonder how the Dark Multiverse fits into the big Multiverse cosmology Morrison established (Snyder will probably ignore it)
it will probably work like the anti matter universe
>it's a Hawkman story
oh boy, this is going to get convoluted.
>Greg Capullo is a metalhead
actually not surprised \m/
But there are already lots of shitty and datk universes in the regular multiverse
Will the Dark Multiverse be the same, only edgier?
Yep
I'm uneasy about this.
I would have liked them to keep riding the Rebirth wave until they wrap up that story and finish undoing the damage of the New 52.
Eh, think of this as part of it. It's DC saying how they'll do event books post Rebirth. Lighter, more fun, not hero vs hero, etc.
>new talents and new books
Who, the new class from the DC workshops?
The Rebirth storyline isn't going to be finished for quite a while. Might as well have crazy fun in between.
Probably
>inb4 'fuck off, Rich'

Apparently, Metal/Dark Matter has nothing to do with Geoff and Rebirth
ahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahaha
Yeah, this looks pretty lame.
The only thing that might be amusing is if it lays out what specific kind of metal Diana is into.
fucking awful
just get rid of DC already
Are these working hours at the Marvel shills' office?
Nigga, the event looks fun, but you are a garbage human and patethic as fuck of you think that any criticism to it must be a conspiracy.
Hey, it's expensive. Marvel had to cut their editorial, writing and art budget for them.
Might be fun
Its stupid alright.
Well, it does look stupid.
Let’s wait and see if it is going to be fun.
Gay.
>its a "strap-on unfitting armour on top of colourful designs" event
You're so much better than that Capullo, why.
Why can't artists just take their time and do something like Ross?
I guess.
I still have some harsh feelings from Darksid War. After DC thought it was a good idea to have Darksid get turned into a baby, I think my concern is justifiable. Just because Rebirth hit it out of the pack doesn't mean all events afterwards are going to be the same.
>DC Metal
>no Metal Men
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>No Steel
Can he at least...make the armor?
DC isn't an entity. The only one who thought Darkseid War was a good idea was that retard Johns.
That actually looks pretty cool. Pls Snyder no Joker or Duke.
I was expecting Metal Men.
They take turns between DC and Marvel.
At the very least, they don't seem to be crowbarring poorly concieved progressive politics in. Lets see it play out.
Did they ever settle on a post nu 52 timeline or origin for hawkman?
This isn't and shouldn't be Sup Forums user.
...
Snyder's a big Morrison fanboy so i'm not surprised.
But will it interrupt every mainline DC book to tie-in into this? Or are they doing the event separately like they did with Darkseid War?
>Joker
Too late. He's the cataclyst (though we don't know his role beyond that.
It was still approved by the DC higher ups.
Look Rebirth has been good, NO ONE will argue that, but just because it happened doesn't mean everything will be. Monstermen proved that there are some cracks in the armor.
stick win everytime
Cautious optimism
it looks like its right up my alley but we'll see
cant be worse than any event marvel has had in the last 5 years
you really ought to leave the heavy metal to . . .well you know HEAVY METAL!
>Morrison edits Heavy Metal
>Snyder makes Metal
he really doesn't have a single original idea
>So we've got this new idea called Metal, who should we use?
>Well, we have several characters literally themed around that. Robots or artificial lifeforms like Red Tornado, Brainiacs, the Metal Me
>Let's use the Justice League.
>You mean like robot versions? Like Green Lantern Stel or Cyborg Supe
>No, just the regular kind. It's just a Warworld story.
>So it's not actually a new
>OK, meeting adjourned.
>Enki Bilal in nearly every issue
love it.
52 multiverse, morrison multiverse. Now dark multiverse.
A little art from Dark Days, which leads into Metal?
Looking good, Greg is a fantastic artist, I'd rather have a fun and light homage to Heavy Metal and 90's schlock than THING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN (again).
...
HAHAHAHAHAHA
see
It's named Metal because it's connected to Nth Metal.
That girl looks pretty excited.
...
I imagine his wrists would be extremely tired after writing all those numbers
>Still no Hawkman
Just go ahead and still his thunder why don't ya.
Thats the joker from nu 52. Maybe he is from. The dark multiverse?
Yes, and? Sounds like the same old shit.
It's obviously supposed to be makeshift. They're not sitting there worrying about whether their clothes look good when they're in a gladiator arena lol
Give it time user.
...AGAIN!
i feel the same way, this is just gonna be a kickass little event that showcases good art and great action, and leaves all the other books out of it.
shiiiit... I didn't realize one of the three jokers may be from there
When are we getting that three jokers arc again?
Fuck you Monster Men was dope
I wasn't disagreeing with you
I don't know why people are so negative about this on Sup Forums. It's just a big fun event for the summer. What, are they not allowed to do a big balls to the wall action event? Not everything has to change or fuck up the status quo like Marvel's events.
Looks lame, and I'm really burnt out on Capullo + Snyder, so I think I'll pass. Doesn't look shitting-the-bed bad though, thankfully.
Yeah the current Justice League of America comic with Ray and Lobo actually has this same thing going on. The arc's done now, but gladiator-shit is over done and over played in comics. Plus why does every single alien race also have 'gladiators' that look like a period of time and place on earth with Rome and Greece? It's lazy writing/art.
"Gladiator" is an occupation, not a specific style.
I mean, it's not hard to fit it into Morrison's multiverse since he established that the multiverse we saw was just one multiverse in the Omniverse
I'm excited to see what that Indian Shaman has to offer
Is that Lady Blackhawk?
Looks like it
Zinda sighting!
It hurts particularly if you know anything about actual Gladiatorial combat.
To give you an idea of how badly it's usually mangled.
THERE WERE REFEREES!
Yeah, new 52 Hawkman was straight up Katar, no shenanigans
Yes but using the arena to kill off condemned criminals (such as Christians) were a thing and usually that is mixed in with gladiatorial combat in pop cultural
Am I in the 90s, Sup Forums?
an event where the justice league wears some metal? wtf??
At least mirror the site so he doesn't get clicks: archive.is
Unless you are Rich.
Yeah, cmon DC. Jim Lee did this already in the New 52.
Hey, Mongul! I was wondering what he'd been up to.
good I love Duke
>no Metal Men
what the shit
so i guess this is Snyder doing his Wondy story
Wut? He literally starred the first Trinity arc and the last issue of action comics
>METAL
>it's literally just some armor
>nothing to do with the metal men
tell me when DC becomes good again
I know, and it BUGS ME.
Executions were different from Gladiator games, damnit.
For one, they didn't have armour!
>Gojira in the Spotify playlist
Fuck yeah.
Yeah, I mean since then.
Nigga, did you even watch the video? The event is about Nth Metal and its properties.
>Talk up Hawkman being central to the plot
>He's not featured in any of the promo art
Oh, I see how it is...
>implying it doesn't somehow tie into Death of Hawkman
>implying Adam Strange won't play space tyrant again for funsies
>What if the Justice League was gladiators?
Whatever
>And Aquaman grows his beard back
10/10 best event ever
The irony is that Pallad looks like a total twinkboi, who's obsessed with confronting a young Japanese male.
>New 52 League
Will it ever fucking end?
Sup Forums likes Rebirth or at least the ideas behind it. And well it seems like this is an attempt to undermine the ideas and ethos with "dumb fun" and trying to take DC in another direction with Snyder who most people aren't really fond of.
