About the series
In 2017, DC Comics released Dark Days: The Casting, a single-issue prelude co-written by James Tynion IV and Scott Snyder. This oversized one-shot, featuring art by a powerhouse trio of Andy Kubert, Jim Lee, and John Romita Jr., set the stage for the sprawling "Dark Nights: Metal" event. It matters as the first chapter in a saga that redefined the DC Universe's cosmic and mythological stakes, introducing cryptic clues and a sense of impending doom through its dense, blockbuster-style storytelling.
