      DC Reveals June Schedule for New Tuesday Comic Books

      …Snyder and Capullo Get the Band Back Together for More Head-Banging Fun as Dark Nights: Death Metal Debuts on-sale June 16…

      …Heading into Summer, DC’s ready to turn up the heat with more New Comic Book Tuesday titles heading to open and operating stores across the U.S. and Canada…

      …On June 16, it’s time to tune up your axes and crank the noise up to 11, as the fan favorite team of writer Scott Snyder, artists Greg Capullo, FCO Plascencia and Jonathan Glapion take the stage for the debut issue of Dark Nights: Death Metal. In this earth-shattering encore, the Earth is enveloped by the Dark Multiverse and the Justice League is at the mercy of the Batman Who Laughs. Humanity struggles to survive in a hellish landscape twisted beyond recognition, while Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman have all been separated and fight for their survival as well as the fate of humanity…

Dark Nights: Death Metal scribe Scott Snyder describes the story as “…we’ve been building [to this] for three years – we pitched it when we pitched Dark Nights: Metal. It brings a lot of threads together to give what we hope will be the epic ending of one era of DC Comics and the equally epic start to a new one…

While DC Comics notes Tuesday is NCBD, that is via their two new distributors; traditional distributor Diamond, that many comic shops have not left because Marvel and other publishers remain exclusive to them, will have the books like usual the next day on Wednesday. However, the digital version of the DC Comics will be out on Tuesday as well. Key highlights from DC Comics revised June offerings are below, but the full schedule is here.
