Review: Silencer #4

By Cat Wyatt

The Silencer #4 continues Honor’s epic quest to be free of Leviathan and all of its enemies. In the last issue, we saw her survive against all odds, but it’s incredibly likely that the others will figure out she’s still alive sooner rather than later. She’s going to have to figure out a longer-term plan if she wants to keep her life intact and her family safe.

Review: Dark Nights Metal #6

By Garrett Hanneken

All roads lead to darkness. The finale to Dark Nights Metal kicks off with that very statement as we have multiple factors reach a conclusion. The once dragon of The Forger, Barbatos, is seen, quite literally, towering over the earth as it is being plunged into the depths. The Batman who Laughs begins to reveal the captive behind the bandages and meanwhile, the only superheroes capable of fighting are Wonder Woman and Lady Blackhawk as they take on hoards of various evil incarnations from the dark multiverse. This issue begins in darkness, but is there a light of hope at the end?

Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32

By Cat Wyatt

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32 continues Bats Out of Hell plot, bringing us None More Black. The events in this issue take place during Dark Nights: Metal, bringing us back to the Multiverse. In this issue, the events that occur are split into two different times, “then” and “now.” Then appears to be before everything went downhill, while now is showing us with our heroes either in a fight or rapidly losing it.

Review: Dark Nights: Batman Lost #1

By Cat Wyatt

Batman: Lost is a Dark Nights: Metal tie-in, and being that it is issue #1 it has the luxury of starting where it wants to. In this case that is showing us Bruce Wayne at the ripe old age of 78, settling down to read a story to his granddaughter. Seeing Bruce act so parental should probably set off some sort of alarm bells for any Batman fan, for surely something deeper is going on here.

Review: Batman: The Merciless #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I finally figured out what’s familiar and ultimately not very good about Dark Nights Metal, and all of these tie-ins that have become redundant and predictable. Remember Marvel’s Original Sin? Remember that shit? Where they just started handing out hammers to the Marvel U, both villains and heroes and basically everyone was a Thor? There were a billion tie-ins were each jabroni takes a one-shot to get their hammer and then, “Tune in for the main title to see them use it!”

Review: Batman - The Dawnbreaker #1

By Justin McCarty

Batman The Dawnbreaker has landed today, the next issue for the Dark Knight tie-ins as we continue the multi-issue Metal event. Next up for The Dark Knights is The Drowned. Then the next Dark Nights Metal is out this month. Barbatos’ Dark Knights are coming together, and we aren’t yet sure what is in store for the Justice League and Earth-0. We’ll find out in the Metal Lost Knight crossovers. Of all the tie-ins so far, this might be my favorite.

Review: Batman: The Murder Machine #1

By Justin McCarty

The latest Dark Knights Metal tie-in is out! Barbatos’ next evil Batman to come through the door is The Murder Machine, the Batman/Cyborg mashup. As the Metal event continues to play out, we get a few more details about the evil Batmen and Barbatos’ plans. This issue, the evil Batman must go through Cyborg to get what he wants. Which isn’t totally made clear to us. It involves Dr. Stone and STAR Labs, maybe Cyborg himself has something the evil Batmen want.

Review: Batman: The Red Death #1

By Justin McCarty

The premise for this comic is pretty simple: Earth-52 Batman (Dark Knight Returns Batman) is fed up with his lack of progress with his war on crime. He has lost everyone he’s loved, and he’s had no success. He literally believes if he had the speed force he’d be able to do better. Batman spends the first half of the book fighting Flash for it. He rigs the cosmic treadmill to the Batmobile; his plan is to drive so fast he catches up to the speed force? It’s a superhero comic; I’ll let it go. I don’t think I’m spoiling anything by saying he sort of gets what he wants. He and Flash merge, and Batman Red Death is born. This is an exceptionally dark take on Batman. He kills all the bad guys in his universe, then, after getting a little motivation from the Batman Who Laughs, he decides to take on Earth-0, where he goes full on evil.

Review: Dark Nights: Metal #2

By Justin McCarty

They said this would be crazy. So far they are right. The second entry into Dark Nights: Metal probably left me with more questions than answers, though. I mean, I got what was going on, after two one shots, and the first issue of this series, however, I still had to go back and reread to keep up.

Duel Review: Dark Nights: Metal #1

By Dustin and Daniel

Welcome to our first duel review in a long ass time. A duel review is similar to a group review, but with only two people. I’ll be honest I never know which duel/dual to use… pick the one you like better. Anyway, Daniel and Dustin will give their thoughts on Dark Nights: Metal #1 along with their individual scores! It’s like two reviews… get it?

Synopsis: All the “Meta’s” are “Metal’s” and Batman is from an evil bat tribe.
