Well, it's a bat___-crazy comic book for bat___-crazy times. Like a Morbid Angel writing an Obituary for the very concept of reboots, Scott Snyder sees Death at the Gates in the form of an army of Cannibal Corpses trying to devour DC's legacy. Death metal fans loved that sentence, while most of you were just wondering what I was trying to say. Welcome to Metal.
Clearly, Scott Snyder is the Zack Snyder of comics. "Got some nifty things I'd like to see drawn, sure hope the story works!" seems to be the battle cry here. If you loved Sucker Punch, regardless of being able to defend that love, Death Metal is a gem of glorious nonsense that will no doubt tickle your tinnitis (which is the name of my new Death Metal band. Our current album "Beaten Pulp" drops today). Highly recommended for anybody that attempted to understand the last series, anybody who isn't too cool to acknowledge that the Chainsaw of Truth is just bitchin', and those who have always wanted to see a Batman who can never do a push-up...
