The end of Dark Nights: Death Metal #7 is the last stop of more than a decade of Scott Snyder driving the DC metaverse’s bus. The conclusion to the Dark Nights saga, which started in 2017 with Dark Nights: Metal and ran through an entire Justice League series before concluding here, closes off storylines Snyder and his creative partner Greg Capullo seeded as far back as their first issue of Batman when the New 52 launched.
And with Infinite Frontier and Future State, DC’s next publishing initiatives, on deck, it’s worth taking a look at what Death Metal did so we can try and understand how the pieces fit together. Because if there’s one thing to take away from Death Metal, it’s that everything fits together. Even if you really gotta stomp on the pieces to get them to stick.

The Other History of the DC Universe, John Ridley and Giuseppe Cammuncoli’s new prestige miniseries from DC’s Black Label, has a particularly evocative title. When you hear that name, you think Howard Zinn, something like A People’s Crisis on Infinite Earths. It implies a grand, broad look at the sweep of DC Universe history from the perspective of marginalized people, voices who were not the ones telling the story (in and outside of it). But the book that is out this week is…not quite that.
Ridley was “less interested in putting obelisks on the timeline,” he said at a roundtable discussion with Den of Geek, and more focused on how some major signpost events in the history of the DC Universe were contextualized and absorbed for different characters.
The first issue focuses on Jefferson Pierce (Black Lightning), and it contains a conscious effort from Ridley to...

Last year, we learned that a Green Lantern TV series is headed to HBO Max and now it seems the project is officially moving forward. The news was announced this Friday, with Warner Bros. Television revealing the leading crew members and the lineup of Lanterns that we can expect to see in the show. Interestingly, a couple of big names are missing, but otherwise, we’re promised that it will focus on a multitude of heroes from across DC history.
Green Lantern will be exec produced by Arrowverse supremo Greg Berlanti, with Seth Grahame-Smith (The Lego Batman Movie) serving as showrunner. The latter will also co-write alongside Arrow veteran Marc Guggenheim. As for the Lanterns who’ll lead the series, fans can look forward to Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz making their first full live-action debuts, while iconic characters Sinestro and Kilowog will also feature.

This event overall has blown a little bit hot and cold for me. The central story is solid, with some nice ideas in there, but there also seems to have been a lot of filler and unnecessary sidetracking. This being so, I have dipped in and out here and there, occasionally being impressed, occasionally being disappointed. I took a chance on this book for two reasons. One, James Tynion is writing it, and he’s consistently good value as a writer. Two, it features the word ‘Multiverse’ in the title. I’m a sucker for anything DC Multiverse related, always have been. What I didn’t like was the cover. That cover is one ugly thing, and whoever is the Cover Editor these days at DC may need an eye test. Sure, throw a lot of characters on...

The Dceu’s Green Lantern reboot was first announced back in October 2014, and yet the project doesn’t seem to have made much in the way of progress over the last five and a half years. Last we heard, Geoff Johns was set to rewrite the script and have the first draft completed by the end of last year, but there’s been no concrete information for a long time.
With Warner Bros.’ comic book franchise finally on solid footing after an underwhelming few years, perhaps the reboot will become more of a priority for the studio, even though the brand may have been permanently tainted by association with Ryan Reynolds’ infamous box office bomb from nearly a decade ago. Still, there’s arguably already enough on the Dceu’s upcoming slate without them having to go through the costly process of reinventing a property that failed pretty spectacularly the first time around.

Director Jamie Thraves had only been out of art school for a few years when he was approached to direct the video for Radiohead’s “Just,” a single off their 1995 album, The Bends. Thraves got the gig through his new job at Oil Factory Productions, a video company run by John Stewart (the brother of Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart). “John sent my films to Dilly Gent, the commissioner of Radiohead,” Thraves recalls. “She sent me ‘Just’ to have a listen.”

We have a new clip in from the John Malkovich and Colin Hanks comedy "The Great Buck Howard." Also in the cast are Emily Blunt, Tom Hanks, Tom Arnold, Conan O'Brien, Adam Scott, George Takei, John Stewart and other well-known names. Sean McGinly ("Brothers," "Two Days") directs the indie film from his own screenplay. Distributed by Magnolia Pictures, this made it's debut at last year's Sundance Film Festival and now sees theatrical release on March 20th in limited areas. See the clip here. To the untrained eye, The Great Buck Howard (John Malkovich) may seem like a magician… but he's not. He's a mentalist. In his own humble opinion, his talents go far beyond mere sleight of hand; he can read minds, and is capable of hypnotizing an entire room full of people at once. But when Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) tries to explain to his Dad (Tom Hanks) why...
