Dark Nights: Metal always leaves me wanting more, which is both this series' greatest strength and one glaring flaw. Metal can never be faulted for its ambition, as Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo seek to tie together all corners of the DCU into one vast, cosmic tapestry. But too often it feels as though this series is trying to do too much in the limited space it has. Even six issues and various assorted tie-ins doesn't seem sufficient for a tale this massive.
Snyder and Capullo continue to shed more light on the scope of this conflict and the ways it links so many disparate DC characters together. Most pleasing of all is the heavy focus on the Dreaming and how Daniel factors into the war against the Dark Multiverse. It's a real testament to the scope and gravity of Metal that it feels important enough to leave even the Lord of Dreams rattled, when normally superhero conflicts are beneath the notice of beings as all-powerful as the Endless. It's also a testament to the creative team's versatility that they're able to capture the lyrical quality of the Sandman comics. The storybook-esque opening page is an especially nice touch (as well as being further proof that DC should really start including recap pages in all books).
