With the stunning events of Dark Days: The Forge #1 (full spoilers here) comes Dark Days The Casting #1 on the road to the Dark Nights: Metal #1 kick-off to DC’s seemingly biggest, or at least most consequential, mini-series yet of the DC Rebirth era!

DC Comics Rebirth and Dark Days The Casting #1 Spoilers follow.

Here is what we know about Dark Days: The Casting #1 so far.

      DARK DAYS: THE CASTING #1

      Written by James Tynion IV and Scott Snyder

      Published by DC Comics
      Release Date: July 12, 2017

      The Joker’s surprise attack threatens to lay waste to all of Batman’s carefully laid plans. Will the Dark Knight be able to regain the trust of his closest allies, Green Lantern and Duke, and prevent the forces of darkness from consuming the DC Universe?! Will Hawkman’s warning stop our heroes from peering into the abyss?

      The great comics event of summer 2017 is on its way, courtesy of superstar writers Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV with art by a master class of comics artists: Andy Kubert, Jim Lee and John Romita Jr.!


DC Comics Rebirth interlude.

Looks like 1 of the 3 Jokers, a mystery set-up in DC Universe Rebirth #1, is from the Dark Multiverse.

That one takes center stage in Dark Days: The Casting #1. Presumably the 2nd of the 3 Jokers is the main DC Rebirth Earth’s Joker. So, who is the 3rd Joker?


Back to Dark Days: The Casting #1. We also have 3 covers released so far; the 1 that opened this piece, after the house ad, and the following 2.

The Joker is in 2 of the 3 covers as you can see.

We also have 2 very Hawkman and Hawkwoman / Hawkgirl centric interior pencils.

Plus Batman and Wonder Woman vs. a griffin.

So, do these teaser and preview pages intrigue you enough to pick up Dark Days: The Casting #1 in July?
