Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I write comic books! Growing up, I always wanted to write comics, but I ended up trying my hand at fiction first. I got my MFA from Columbia University, published a book of short stories with The Dial Press in 2006 called Voodoo Heart, then finally broke into comics in 2009 and haven't looked back since. I've worked extensively for DC Comics, writing such titles as Batman, Detective Comics, Justice League, the comic event books DC Dark Knights Metal and Death Metal, and Swamp Thing, among others. I've also created a number of series with some great co-creators and partners -- books like We Have Demons, Clear, Night of the Ghoul, Nocterra, American Vampire, Wytches, the Wake, AD: After Death, and more... I live in NY with my wife, Jeanie and our three boys. I am also a big fan of Elvis Presley.

I've read 4 stories from Scott Snyder and I'm 50/50 as far as liking them. The two I like are Court of Owls and Last Knight on Earth. The two I dislike are the first Metal and this one. As with the first Metal, the story here is just all over the place. It's a hot convoluted mess that doesn't tell a compelling narrative. Instead, it seems more like he's just going for big and outrageous moments, one after the other without a break in between. The Batman Who Laughs has gotten to the point by this book that he's almost a caricature of the original character, which is sad given that he was an awesome character at the beginning, they've just used him to death and they have no other place to go with him than to ludicrous places. The only reason I gave the book 2 stars is for Greg Capullo's artwork, which is the only good thing about this book to me. After this, I'm officially done with this metal nonsense. I removed all of these books from my Kindle.

This was the finale of a veery long drawn out storyline by Snyder. It was good, but I don't think it was great. Just my opinion. I feel Snyder always does over the top stories. Sometimes you just want a good grounded fight between heroes and villains.

Great sequel to first book. Real page Turner. Liked how it was set in an apocalypse type setting showing us a different side/version to the main characters. Really enjoyed it and read all but one tie in to it. Been a while since I read a DC series and very happy with the Metal series!!

I did not expect to like this story as much as I did! I haven't read much of DC since about midway through the New 52, with the only exception being Mister Miracle, but this was way more fun than advertised. If you are up to date on DC continuity, then this will be a blast to enjoy.

A big epic story. I liked the artwork and the story but dispite being over 200 pages the book still felt a bit rushed. Maybe I missed something but I did not see the point of Sargent Rocks sermons, I think if these were taken out and the space given to the main characters it would have been a better use of the space.

The book took me a bit by surprise as I did think this might have been a bit of a gag book rather than the conclusion to the Metal storyline. The Batman Who Laughs unleashes his most ambitious end game. I really like the continuity by including the Doomsday book storyline here as well. Even though the heroes or even the world is no longer at it's best this world is not going down without a fight. However how many losses can even the greatest warriors that before they start to lose heart.

I did really like this book the bit that did a note about it us that in between certain chapters it seen there was another mini story or book. If these are small thing on fine you can get the book to fill in the details but some of these things were big. All I'm all quite a satisfying conclusion or a new beginning, depending on the point of view.

Disjointed mess: so much missing content that it becomes nonsensical

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2021

What's in this book is fun enough: there are a few good speeches and cameos. You even get to see parts of some semi interesting fights. But that's all you get- parts. The book skips huge plot points with no warning or explanation to tge extent a reader has no idea what is going on. For example, in one scene a hero is about to be defeated by a villain whilst two others are seemingly on the verge of death.... and then you turn over the page and the four of them are best friends. No explanation. No clue as to where you can find the missing material (as far as I can tell a lot of it isn't collected anywhere).

The whole thing is, as a result, a boring disjointed mess. Art is OK though.

A fantastic read with stunning artwork!

The Batman Who Laughs has begun his ascension to godhood and plans to create a new Multiverse, and only Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman stand in his way. Uniting various superheroes and even supervillains together in a final desperate battle to stop The Batman Who Laughs, who will live and who will die?

I really enjoyed the Dark Nights: Metal story and couldn't wait to see where the writers would take it from there, and I was not disappointed. This was a fantastic read with stunning artwork! (I must point out that it's definitely worth checking out the other Death Metal books to fully enjoy the series)

Good comic, really bad printing

Reviewed in Germany on April 25, 2021

Dark Nights: Death Metal is the sequel to Dark Nights: Metal and delivers the same over the top action and entertaining fun as the prievious collaboration between Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

Typical Snyder if he continues to tell a story it must be a bigger tale with wider impact. So the Batman Who Laughs is back, more threatening than ever, to destroy the DC multiverse and create his own dark multiverse. So it is up to Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman with the support of many DC heroes and villains to stop him. So we get plenty of weird Batmen, a multiverse always on the brink of destruction, huge battle scenes, and different heroes and villains from strange worlds of the multiverse. And of course the story will change the face of the DC universe.

Good to know, you can read the story without all the tie-in comics. Nevertheless it doesn‘t hurt if you are familiar with the history of the DC multiverse and the Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis storylines. Snyder uses these stories to weave his own storyline of universal proportions.

While Death Metal is an entertaining read there are some bothering aspects. Snyder’s writing style with abrupt scenery changes sometimes makes you read passages twice to get the meaning. I also find his pseudo philosophical explanations for certain events annoying because it doesn’t make the plot intelligible but cheesy.

As always Greg Capullo‘s artwork is just gorgeous. If you like his style you won‘t be disappointed. Highly detailed drawings and crazy ideas prove why he is one of the top artists.

Finally, the printing of my copy is partially really bad - especially in the last chapter there are many unreadable pages. I have sent my copy back. Hopefully the next one will be printed qualitatively better.

By far, more epic than Dark Nights Metal could ever hope to be. The DC universe’s—er—Multiverse’s greatest battle, presents Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and, well, EVERYONE pitted against an enemy so unfathomably powerful, that it may very well take an actual miracle to save reality itself!
In short: GET THIS BOOK!
