Welcome to Litsy!

So the Dark Days collection foreshadows DC‘s big Metal event from a few years ago which I‘m excited to get to soon.

Unfortunately it is essentially just 2 important issues (The Casting and The Forge) and then 6 issues plucked randomly from the DC timeline that include tiny hints about Metal.

I thought the Metal event meant like 🤘, but apparently it is a reference to Hawkman‘s Nth metal & magic green metal in the Joker‘s spine. Comics, folks.

Mystery has always been a trap-

Picked this up while I was in the city for work. I‘m excited.

The first two issues of this collection are great. They left me eager for DC's big Metal event, even though I wasn't wild about the part I've already read. (That'd be the collection about the evil Batmen.)

The rest of the volume is made up of issues pulled from other events. Each lays some groundwork for Metal, but they don't always work great on their own. I felt like I'd bought a grab bag from my LCS. #caseyplusbooks
