Dark Nights: Death Metal is the sequel to 2017-2018’s Dark Nights Metal, one of my three favorite comic book events of all time, bringing back the creative superteam of Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, and collaborators, amplifying everything that made the original a success to 11. Death Metal’s ambitions are impossibly grand, seeking to unify the history of DC’s Crisis events and the particularly discordant recent years into one epic saga.

Today I'll answer:

How does Death Metal fit into the legacy of DC Crisis events?
What makes this an Anti-Crisis?
What are the Watchmen Connections to Death Metal?

Spoilers for discussed issues may follow!

There are a few notable details from this opening sequence, firstly that Wonder Woman is straight up in Hell, ruling as the Queen of the Underworld, on the ground that used to be her home, Themyscira. Death Metal #1 throws readers directly into a warped DC Universe, where Wonder Woman is the ruler of Hell, where villains of the realm are kept prisoner.

As we can see, though, the DCU has become home to a Dark Multiverse infiltration, and readers of the original Metal will instantly recognize the presence of Robin Crows (or Groblins) and Joker Dragons roaming freely under a newfound red son. Put simply, Death Metal is the aftermath of Metal when the heroes lost.
