First look at DC event METAL

>>92289041
Looks dumb

>>92289041
>That Aquaman

we peter david now

I didn't think it was gonna be quite so literal.

>>92289041
>Still Cyborg

Warner let it go.

>hero is stuck in a gladiator arena

aren't we done with this yet

>>92289163
If they wanted to be true to the title, at least one of the characters would need to wield a guitar as a battle axes at some point

>>92289163
Snyder literally said that this was going to be stupid and fun

>>92289041
designs fucking suck.

>>92289041
Ok, so we finally know what it's about, and I'm mildly excited
Wonder how the Dark Multiverse fits into the big Multiverse cosmology Morrison established (Snyder will probably ignore it)

>>92289232
it will probably work like the anti matter universe

>>92289041
>it's a Hawkman story

oh boy, this is going to get convoluted.

>>92289041
>Greg Capullo is a metalhead
actually not surprised \m/

>>92289278
But there are already lots of shitty and datk universes in the regular multiverse
Will the Dark Multiverse be the same, only edgier?

>>92289220
Yep

>>92289041
I'm uneasy about this.

I would have liked them to keep riding the Rebirth wave until they wrap up that story and finish undoing the damage of the New 52.

>>92289366

Eh, think of this as part of it. It's DC saying how they'll do event books post Rebirth. Lighter, more fun, not hero vs hero, etc.

>>92289041
>new talents and new books
Who, the new class from the DC workshops?

>>92289366
The Rebirth storyline isn't going to be finished for quite a while. Might as well have crazy fun in between.

>>92289409
Probably

Apparently, Metal/Dark Matter has nothing to do with Geoff and Rebirth

>>92289041
ahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahaha

>>92289041
Yeah, this looks pretty lame.

The only thing that might be amusing is if it lays out what specific kind of metal Diana is into.

>>92289041
fucking awful

just get rid of DC already

>>92289715
Nigga, the event looks fun, but you are a garbage human and patethic as fuck of you think that any criticism to it must be a conspiracy.

>>92289715
Hey, it's expensive. Marvel had to cut their editorial, writing and art budget for them.

>>92289041
Might be fun

>>92289193
Its stupid alright.

>>92289193
Well, it does look stupid.

Let’s wait and see if it is going to be fun.

Gay.

You're so much better than that Capullo, why.
Why can't artists just take their time and do something like Ross?

>>92289408
I guess.

I still have some harsh feelings from Darksid War. After DC thought it was a good idea to have Darksid get turned into a baby, I think my concern is justifiable. Just because Rebirth hit it out of the pack doesn't mean all events afterwards are going to be the same.

DC isn't an entity. The only one who thought Darkseid War was a good idea was that retard Johns.

>>92289041
That actually looks pretty cool. Pls Snyder no Joker or Duke.

I was expecting Metal Men.

>>92289170
They take turns between DC and Marvel.

>>92289800
At the very least, they don't seem to be crowbarring poorly concieved progressive politics in. Lets see it play out.

>>92289315
Did they ever settle on a post nu 52 timeline or origin for hawkman?

>>92289715

Snyder's a big Morrison fanboy so i'm not surprised.

But will it interrupt every mainline DC book to tie-in into this? Or are they doing the event separately like they did with Darkseid War?

>>92290303
>Joker
Too late. He's the cataclyst (though we don't know his role beyond that.

>>92290250
It was still approved by the DC higher ups.
Look Rebirth has been good, NO ONE will argue that, but just because it happened doesn't mean everything will be. Monstermen proved that there are some cracks in the armor.

A little art from Dark Days, which leads into Metal?

Looking good, Greg is a fantastic artist, I'd rather have a fun and light homage to Heavy Metal and 90's schlock than THING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN (again).

Thats the joker from nu 52. Maybe he is from. The dark multiverse?

>>92291589
Yes, and? Sounds like the same old shit.

>>92289993
It's obviously supposed to be makeshift. They're not sitting there worrying about whether their clothes look good when they're in a gladiator arena lol

>>92291635
Give it time anon.

>>92291567

...AGAIN!

i feel the same way, this is just gonna be a kickass little event that showcases good art and great action, and leaves all the other books out of it.

>>92291640
>>92291608
shiiiit... I didn't realize one of the three jokers may be from there

>>92291710
When are we getting that three jokers arc again?

>>92291139

Fuck you Monster Men was dope

>>92291641
I wasn't disagreeing with you

I don't know why people are so negative about this on /co/. It's just a big fun event for the summer. What, are they not allowed to do a big balls to the wall action event? Not everything has to change or fuck up the status quo like Marvel's events.

Looks lame, and I'm really burnt out on Capullo + Snyder, so I think I'll pass. Doesn't look shitting-the-bed bad though, thankfully.

>>92289170

Yeah the current Justice League of America comic with Ray and Lobo actually has this same thing going on. The arc's done now, but gladiator-shit is over done and over played in comics. Plus why does every single alien race also have 'gladiators' that look like a period of time and place on earth with Rome and Greece? It's lazy writing/art.

"Gladiator" is an occupation, not a specific style.

>>92290349
I mean, it's not hard to fit it into Morrison's multiverse since he established that the multiverse we saw was just one multiverse in the Omniverse

>>92289444
I'm excited to see what that Indian Shaman has to offer

>>92291575
Is that Lady Blackhawk?

>>92293224
Looks like it

>>92291575
Zinda sighting!

>>92293098
It hurts particularly if you know anything about actual Gladiatorial combat.

To give you an idea of how badly it's usually mangled.

THERE WERE REFEREES!

>>92290333
Yeah, new 52 Hawkman was straight up Katar, no shenanigans

>>92295076
Yes but using the arena to kill off condemned criminals (such as Christians) were a thing and usually that is mixed in with gladiatorial combat in pop cultural

/co/ likes Rebirth or at least the ideas behind it. And well it seems like this is an attempt to undermine the ideas and ethos with "dumb fun" and trying to take DC in another direction with Snyder who most people aren't really fond of.

Snyder is a genius. Both of them.

As someone who would like to try some DC titles, this looks totally impenetrable. Also, is Jim Lee just trying to do Image at DC now? That seems...dumb. If a big-name artist wants to rip off an existing big two property and shittily write said ripoff, why not do it at a creator-owned company?

>>92289041
When and why did they replace Marvin Manhunter with Cyborg

>>92304185
>If a big-name artist wants to rip off an existing big two property and shittily write said ripoff, why not do it at a creator-owned company?

Even Image doesn't want it. Rather the artists are doing paid DC work and writing in DC's sandbox. This goes back to the ethics of the 90s era Harras run Marvel.

>>92304372

>Batman is able to figure out shit about Nth Metal Hawkman hasn't in 5000 years of using it

GAY AND BULLSHIT

>>92306362
Well, Nth Metal is a major piece of the plot.
>>92304593
The why is because they needed some diversity and green wasn't cutting it.

Plus Cyborg didn't fit in with the Teen Titans once he hit 30.

It was the weirdest issues in a bad, bad run.

>>92289041
It looks like they didn't know Superman was going to come so he had to use the extra Amazon armor.
>>92306398
>>Batman is able to figure out shit about Nth Metal Hawkman hasn't in 5000 years of using it
Has Hawkman even bothered trying to figure it out? And hasn't he died and lost his memory like 10000 times in those years?

>>92291740
Seconded

>>92306398
To be fair Hawkman's only skill seems to be swing mace really hard.
