>Big events in superhero comics can often be a slog, but the upcoming Dark Nights: Metal has the potential to be something great. Reuniting the Batman creative team of Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, and FCO Plascencia, Metal is a multiversal superhero epic, and some of the best issues of their Batman run embraced the genre’s inherent sense of bombast to deliver compelling blockbuster action. DC is building up to the event with two Dark Days one-shots introducing the Dark Multiverse, The Forge and The Casting, featuring an all-star creative team embracing the wide scope of DC mythology to create a strong foundation for the upcoming miniseries.
>Written by Snyder and James Tynion IV with art by Andy Kubert, Jim Lee, John Romita Jr., the Dark Days books are getting me very excited for Metal. The Forge introduced a story that includes a range of ideas including Hawkman and Hawkgirl in ancient Egypt, the return of Plastic Man, and Batman holding onto an artifact from Crisis On Infinite Earths. This exclusive preview of this week’s Dark Days: The Casting begins with Hawkman and Hawkgirl assembling Earth’s immortals at the start of the 20th Century. Andy Kubert drawing this part of the story is an inspired choice given his father Joe’s history of working with the characters, and Klaus Janson’s thick inks make the linework even more reminiscent of Joe’s art. Romita Jr. and inker Danny Miki did exceptional work with Snyder on All-Star Batman and their pages with Batman and Wonder Woman have a bold, dynamic energy. There’s some major muscle behind this event, and if Metal is as strong as these preludes it’s going to be a book to remember.
>Wondy on the cover >Bat-fag writers going anywhere near Diana Oh great, as if we needed any more of a clear indication that this event is going to suck a fat one.
Get ready for more "GRRR ME AMAZON, ME HATE MEN, ME WARRIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" crap.
Especially with Snyder leading this shitshow project. Yeah no, I remember that "bind of veils" shit you pulled out of your ass, Scott. Fuck you.

Snyder shared this lettered panel that is not found in the preview pages.
Can I screenshot this and use it to compare it to the sales numbers that will be higher than the Nazi Cap event?
David Lee
...wait one goddamn minute. Is this page saying the upcoming Immortals title is gonna feature Etrigan, Cain, Abel, and Uncle goddamn Sam?!
Asher Diaz
Snyder getting his overwrought bland style all over the DCU is somehow worse than I thought.
Jonathan King
>just gonna loop this flaming sword through my belt, nope, shouldn't have any problems here
Joshua Hughes
Yes, we get it, you looked up the immortal characters in the DCU on a wiki. Shut up already!
Goddamn, even Johns isn't this obnoxious when he's flapping his nerd peen around.
Yes, and they're all lining up to take turns sucking Batman's cock.
Brandon Murphy
He's the goddamn Batman. He's obviously fireproof
Dylan Hughes
>take turns sucking Batman's cock woah, where did that come from?
Jaxon Williams
Yes, yes, yes...cry more, let the sounds of cash registers ringing and credit card swipes fuel your rage.
Charles Collins
Oh boy another pile of shut from the geniuses at DC
Haven't the movies, TV shows, and video games lost enough money for these morons to get shut down already?
Andrew Fisher
It's called Immortal Men, and no, it's not featuring any of those characters.
>Born at the dawn of time, five siblings find that with eternal life comes eternal war. As the forces of destruction march into the modern world, they operate from the shadows, recruiting the elite against the foes who seek to bring about Armageddon. They are humankind’s hope sprung eternal….they are the IMMORTAL MEN.
Samuel Ortiz
>implying I'm giving my money to Bat-faggotry Pfft! Ain't giving any to Star Wars either, because fuck that oversaturated garbage.
Liam Richardson
>movies, TV shows, and video games Sup Forumsfags need to go
Josiah King
Not implying. *Stating* your pretentious shit posting will not keep it from selling well.
Evan Brooks
Simmer down, Wondiecuck.
Easton Adams
And the fact that it will sell well is a sad indictment of comic book fans as a whole. You "people" really will buy anything with the Bat-logo on it, sven when it's blatantly obvious that it will be a steaming pile of trash. Fuckin' mindless drones the lot of you.
Juan Wood
>Romita Jr HOW THE FUCK THIS GUY IS STILL GETTING WORK?! And on a big event? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
Ryan Bennett
>good artist gets work STOP THE PRESSES
Joseph Price
I find your jumping to conclusions and edgy behavior disturbing. Perhaps someone did not get held enough as a child? Hipster bun held too tight? Perhaps your burnt your lips on your vape? Please, share with us the lottery numbers since you are capable of seeing into the future and are not basing this book being good or not on a subjective, edge lord opinion.
Then again, you are the typical comic book fan who does not read anything and just bitches about it as if your opinion matters. Something is popular therefore it must be 'bad'. Go listen to your edgy punk metal and let the adults discuss comics kid.
Keep the hate flowing though, it is adorable.

>wooden faces >weird proportions >looks like retarded kid drawned his favorite superheroes >good I have no idea how is this even possible to have taste that bad.
Chase Lewis
Hows mvc my fellow intern?
Jason Miller
I appreciate the reference to the horror/vertigo version Cain & Abel
Benjamin Watson
>wanting anything even vaguely resembling variety makes you a hipster And you even embrace the fact you're all mindless drones who will buy anything you're told to because you have no personal agency in your "opinions". That's just pathetic.
Aaron Jones
>writes ""drawned"" >thinks he has any right to call others retarded
lol
Ayden Davis
His work is weird, but it's recognizable, and I kind of appreciate it for certain characters, especially Batman. Sometimes it's nice to have a change from the same generic house style crap we see in capeshit.
Luis Powell
I don't even agree with the guy you're arguing with but stop posting the Emperor. Are you 13?
Jeremiah Brooks
>JRJR isn't based
JRJR can phone it in, look at some of the DC Variant covers he did months ago, but when he's actually trying, he's pretty iconic.
Adam Rivera
I bet you know only your native language, americuck, so fuck off. >recognizable I can recognize style of Squirrel girl artist too! It must be good!
Lincoln Howard
>Get ready for more "GRRR ME AMAZON, ME HATE MEN, ME WARRIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" crap
She didn't act like that at all in these pages.
Kevin Cox
Is that the Wizard?
Nicholas Peterson
Wow. I can actually taste the salt from this post.
Juan Lopez
He is not trying in Dark Days already. Look at the faces.
Colton Jenkins
I hope Resurrection Man pops up somewhere. The late 90s did have SOME cool characters. There doesn't seem to be any love for Gabriel Walker :(
Mason Long
>I can recognize style of Squirrel girl artist too! It must be good! I think it's recognizable in a good way. I suppose it was the wrong word to use. It's stylized. It's unique, but I don't find it abhorrent. It's actually good and consistent in its own way, unlike squirrel girl which is straight up laziness and suffers from an artist who knows fuck-all about panel composition. Romita Jr. actually designs things that look good within his own style.
I'm not saying his art is the best shit ever, so stop being triggered. I'm just saying it's not nearly as bad as everyone wants to pretend it is, and it is appreciable on a certain level, as long as you can be subjective.
Landon Rodriguez
>it's not utter shit why mad lol Ok. His art is too bad to draw important stories. Let him stuck with some shit like Batgirl or something.
Christopher Roberts
He's such a phenomenal concept, and his New 52 book was pretty solid as well.
He might actually be one of the best cape concepts to come out of the last 30 years desu
Jackson Thompson
Just wait. It'll happen. It always happens, every single time.
Lincoln Morales
>Potential to be great >Scott Snyder Lol
Blake Bailey
I guess we'll see.
Juan Wood
Dear lord, is that The Wizard Shazam?
Matthew White
1. Did Snyder retcon Hawks origin? It did't happen in Egypt? 2, Wizard Shazam has Hath-Set dagger. Did he really killed them in the first place?
Ian James
Maybe it is Hath-Set
