Last month, DC Comics revealed the Dark Multiverse will continue this November with new takes on classic stories like Hush and Flashpoint. Three more are on the way in December from Vita Ayala and Ariel Olivetti focusing on War of the Gods, Steve Orlando, and Mike Perkins will tackle Crisis on Infinite Earths and gear up for an alternate take on Metal!
Get the scoop on both titles below.

Looks like the Dark Multiverse continues to have a lasting effect on the DCU, blemishing many of DC’s defining moments from across history. This December, the infection continues to fester, as the publisher announced three new titles to get the Dark Multiverse treatment this December.
In the event-defining epic Dark Nights: Metal, the Justice League defeated the vile Barbatos and his Dark Knights to save our universe from sinking into the abyss of the Dark Multiverse. But… what if they failed? What if Barbatos reigned victorious? Enter an alternate timeline where the DCU as you know it has been dragged down into the darkness. Witness the Justice League you once knew, hideously transformed into dragons who serve at the mercy of evil.
Duke Thomas, the Last Monitor, will have to seek out Nightwing and the few remaining survivors of the Metal event to assemble the Final Justice League in an attempt to save the Multiverse. Featuring a story by Dark Nights: Metal architect Scott Snyder, rising stars Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, and art by red-hot artist Karl Mostert, you won’t want to miss the biggest, loudest arena rock concert in the history of the DC Universe!
All three of these titles are 48-page Prestige Format titles, each selling for $5.99. For more information on these titles and the World’s Greatest Super Heroes, visit the website at www.dccomics.com, and follow on social media @DCComics and @thedcnation.
