DC Comics Universe and Justice League #51 Spoilers and Review follows.

Road To Dark Nights: Death Metal’s Doom Metal

…Goes Through PLANET Black Mercy!

Black Mercy first appears in Superman Annual #11 in the 1985 story called For The Man Who Has Everything from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

This 2020 issue starts of with pages that are colored softer…

…giving readers the…

…the impression that these…

…moments are the daydreams of a Justice League…

…under the influence of the Black Mercy.

We then flashback to when the Justice League arrived on the Black Mercy’s planet…

…where the telepathic parasite…

…is its most powerful.

Superman’s dream harkens back to the originating 1985 story.

The Justice League is ensnared and Batman is confronted, in his dreams, by…

…his murdered mother?!

The Pulse:

An inventory story that feels more relevant, and is much more engaging, than the last arc. Decent art and I’m intrigued. 8 out of 10.
