Dark Nights: Metal has certainly lived up to its name, cramming in all sorts of heavy metal-worthy imagery and crazy situations. That doesn't change one bit in the finale. The downside is that the series continues to be too overstuffed for its own good in its final chapter. As good a job as it does hyping up what's to come for the DCU, it doesn't quite carry the same weight as Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's best Batman stories.
Not for the first time, I found myself wondering in this issue if Metal simply became too big for its own good. There are a lot of characters crammed into these pages, with the cast spanning the breadth and width of the DCU. But too often, it feels like this issue is unable to do individual characters the justice they deserve. I imagine the payoff (or lack thereof) with issue #1's big Sandman twist is going to annoy a number of readers. That twist did as much as anything else to build excitement for Metal as a whole, but in the end Dream and his compatriots barely factor into this conflict. Was it worth including them in the first place?
