Dark Nights: Death Metal #[nn]
In "Death Metal: An Anti-Crisis, Part I: It All Matters," Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo deliver a pulse-pounding chapter of the Dark Nights: Death Metal saga, where Wonder Woman, Batman, Harley Quinn, and Swamp Thing race to Apokolips to rescue a captive Superman from the twisted grip of Darkfather—a terrifying fusion of Darkseid and Batman. Meanwhile, the ominous Robin King arrives to warn the Justice Society, Barry, and Wally of the Darkest Knight’s arrival, a new and deadly entity born from the Batman Who Laughs, as the Flash family prepares to outrun its relentless pursuit. The cover, by Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion, captures the chaos in stark, dramatic detail.
