DC’s new comic series will pay tribute to the greatest stars of metal music with covers dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne, Megadteh and more.
After the great success of the Batman: Death Metal comic series created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, DC Comics returns in 2021 with a new event from the same dark universe with Dark Knights: Death Metal. And to celebrate the arrival of this new series, those responsible will pay tribute to the great stars of metal music on their covers with the presence of figures such as Ozzy Osbourne or Megadeth, among many others.
Seven special covers with metal stars
Thus, DC Comics has already confirmed that there will be a total of seven covers known as Band Edition that will mix fearsome characters from DC’s Death Metal universe with metal music stars such as Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Ghost, Sepultura, Dream Theater, Lacuna Coil and Opeth.
Each issue of the Dark Knights: Death Metal – Band Edition collection will present a synopsis with the main band and an exclusive interview specially conducted for the occasion, with the aim that metal music fans get closer to the world of comics and that comics regulars do the same with said musical style.
The story of Batman: Death Metal takes us to learn more about DC’s dark multiverse with the arrival of the villain The Batman Who Laughs, a twisted version of the dark knight somehow fused with the Joker who arrives from Earth-22. With a terrifying and disturbing setting, the Justice League tries to survive in a world of true nightmare.
The new series Dark Knights: Death Metal will start in March and will be published periodically throughout 2021, including Spain as one of its main distribution markets.
