Yeah, it is a bit strange how they have bundled Batman Lost. I suspect that there will be a massive omnibus with everything eventually, but that’s probably a few years down the track.

I wish there was a book done just for me, with Dark Days The Casting, Dark Days The Forge, Batman Lost, Hawkman Found and Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt.

That would be a great concise companion to the main book Dark Nights Metal.

I hope you enjoy it!

I feel like DC will eventually do an omnibus edition of this, but I think we will have to wait a few years before it happens.

Glad I could help, Magnetic Eye (if that is your real name!)

Hey Can Koku, you’ll be fine if you haven’t read the previous issues of Suicide Squad to read these Metal tie-ins. They throw the characters into the situation of the Dark Knights: Metal event instead of worrying about what’s currently going on in Suicide Squad.

I know i hear that like a billion times, but I have that thing in my head that comics are like series, meaning that you cant just start in the middle but have to start at the first. Apparently its wrong though and you can randomly start a comic anywhere.

Hey Josh, there might be a big fat omnibus sometime down the track, but at the moment it appears the tie-ins will be released separately.

I haven’t heard of any spin-off series happening. Although, depending on how Metal ends, there’s always the chance that we will see future stories in the Dark Multiverse.

Thank Bill! It’s great to hear that the website is helpful.

Do you think all the tie ins will be included in that novel?

I don’t expect Metal and Doomsday Clock to cross paths in any way. The way I see it, Doomsday Clock is a maxiseries that may or may not tie-up things that have been hinted at through out the Rebirth period. It might be a big story, but it’s not an event in the traditional sense. There’s no tie-in with other comics so it’s essentially on its own. While Metal is covering a lot of the DC universe and is more in lines with the modern comic event. The fact that there is overlap in release shouldn’t be a huge deal because Doomsday Clock probably won’t touch all of the other comics until its conclusion towards the end of 2018.

Thanks for the heads up, Martin! I’ve updated the dates in the reading order 🙂
