Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Dark Nights: Metal was just released this week (check out our review!) and fans are rocking out and raising fists to this action packed story. This mosh pit of storytelling will continue through the year in the form of a series of tie-in stories and a one-shot issue featuring the return of Thanagar’s favorite mystery hunter, Carter Hall aka Hawkman.
As a follow-up to the “Gotham Resistance” (Teen Titans #12, Nightwing #29, Suicide Squad #26, Green Arrow #32), “Bats out of Hell” (The Flash #33, Justice League #32, Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #32, Justice League#33) will see The Flash, the Green Lantern Corps and the Justice League fighting for their lives against the evil versions of Batman from the Dark Multiverse. The books will also feature connected covers that, that join to show members of the Justice League in a pitched battle against these malevolent dark knights.
Following in December, Metal fans get an early Holiday gift with the return of Hawkman! Hawkman Found #1 is a journey into mystery that connects to what’s going down in Dark Nights: Metal!
