Writer: Scott Snyder / Artists: Greg Capullo and Johnathan Glapton / DC Comics
While Death Metal has been kind of hard to follow due to the abundance of tie-ins (that are important for the story), it’s been a pretty fun read for the past six months. Snyder and company have cultivated a story that’s equal parts compelling and cool. I expected this event to be big, but what I didn’t expect were the ramifications that it would have on the DC Multiverse for years to come.
In this finale issue, Wonder Woman goes up against The Darkest Knight (Final form for The Batman Who Laughs), while the rest of the DC multiverse fights nightmare versions of themselves in the trenches.
The battle between Double Dub™ and the Darkest Knight is one led with strength, will, and most importantly, truth. While Wonder Woman can beat Laughs physically, he presents her with an ultimatum: join him and live in an eternal blissful paradise or defeat him and let the entire multiverse be erased.
It basically boils down to either taking the easy way out or facing the music against certain death. The right answer is clear, but that’s a hard choice to make.
But leave a decision like that to rests perfectly on Wonder Woman’s shoulders. She can take the weight of the truth and do what’s right against insurmountable odds. It’s literally her superpower.
I won’t go into all the details about how the fight ends. You’ll have to read the book yourself to figure that out. But what I will say is that the ending of this event directly sets up the future of the DC Multiverse in some exciting ways.
In the aftermath of the battle, our heroes now have their collective memories of each version of themselves. They know everything they’ve ever done, every time they’ve ever died, and they’re all the better for it. They’re smarter, wiser, and lighter. That’s pretty dope when you think about it. It validates every story ever written for DC. Nerds in comic shops have been arguing about what’s canon since the beginning of time. Well, not anymore. It’s all canon now.
Let’s give a tuxedo wearing Shia Labeouf round of applause to Greg Capullo for his stellar art on this series. He seemed to outdo himself in every subsequent issue after every subsequent issue. The man deserves all the praise.
Death Metal leads right into DC’s Future State, which explores new alternate futures as a result of the events of Death Metal. I don’t really know how this is gonna play out in the years to come, but I will say that for the first time maybe ever, I’m leaving a big crossover event feeling a sense of finality, like maybe things will stick this time around. And if that’s the case, I think the DC Universe will be better for it.

As we celebrate the new year, for anyone who loves all things fashion, there’s no better way to commence a fresh start than looking your best. This being only the first full week of 2021 didn’t of course come without havoc from the controversial U.S. election, but for content creators that didn’t stop some of our favorite Instagram pages from posting. Justly, these post incited the motivation we needed to advance any future style moments.
Last year, the unprecedented pandemic shaped fashion. From cancelling most in-person interactions and adjusting to strict work-from-home orders and mandatory mask stipulations, there was confusion and arguably still a blurring line on what to wear on a day-to-day. However, with a little more knowledge and resources on how to maneuver through COVID-19, creatives kicked off the new year in the coziest winter threads. This week while scrolling on our feed, these pages mastered the art of layering. From bucket hats to leather coats to puffer montages, here’s what we double-tapped over the last few days.
Let’s be honest, Instagram can serve as the best place to find your next outfit. There is nothing wrong with grabbing a little inspiration from the Internet and these creatives brought the best style this week.
