Dark Nights : Metal Reading Order

Dark Nights

Imagine a Justice League of evil Batmen. Well that’s what we’re getting with  DC’s latest ambitious project, Dark Nights : Metal. This mini-series will reunite the creative team of New 52 and will be introduce a new Universe called the The Dark Multiverse. The Dark Universe is something that exists out of the 52 universes introduced in the New 52.

Big events, especially ones with lots of tie-ins can be confusing to new readers. To make things simple we’ve put together the Dark Nights: Metal Reading Order Checklist.

Do you need to read the Tie-Ins?

It’s completely up to you. You can see that there are a lot of tie-ins but it doesn’t mean you have to all the comics listed here. Yes they might add a little extra to the story but you don’t need them for the bigger picture.

Happy Reading!
