6 Reasons Why Dark Nights: Metal #1 Rocks

6. It's Just Fun

Dark Nights remembers what comics can be: sheer, entertaining joy in a digestible format.

In its pages, we go from space to Earth, looking from the dawn of man to the present, and with characters from every corner of DC's storied and beloved universe. We get Batman riding dinosaurs, monsters, aliens and giant robot battlesuits.

It's overblown, crazy and heartfelt. It's the games you played as a kid put to the page. It's grabbing all the toys and saying let's have the biggest damn party we've ever had before.

Metal is just fun. It's a thrill ride and it's only just started, and who knows where it could go next.

That's why Metal rocks. The volume is turned up to 11 and it's time for comics to be joyous, riotous fun again.
