Pretty good collection of one shots and stories and also has a main storyline to it as well which isn’t quite as good but the side stories really made this interesting to me. Not a bad collection.

Good collection of tie-ins, that nonetheless, depend entirely of the Dark Nights Death Metal event to be enjoyed and understood. For that alone, I feel I can't give it more than three stars, but as far as tie-ins go, these are pretty decent.

*I read all of the Dark Nights: Death Metal titles at the same time, attempting to read them as close to publication order as possible. As such, it was one whole story for me, rather than individual books. Full review in the main "Dark Nights: Death Metal" book.*

This was an enjoyable tie-in for Dark Nights: Death Metal. I'm glad they explored the missing pieces from the previous volume.

And lo, the Dark Nights: Death Metal tie-in books came. Some were essential. Some were...not. But all were entertaining in their own right.Y'know, I'm going to keep that. That can be my standard introduction for the five or so trades that we're going to get over the next few weeks.The Darkest Knight definitely falls into the more essential camp in terms of tie-ins. Some of these one-shots literally take place between issues of Death Metal and shed a lot of light on what goes on in later issues.

So much multi madness. Everything and everyone is is here doing everything they can. Pulling out all the stops. There’s sooooo much. Everyone is fighting their hardest. It’s none stop page turning DC adventure. As a stand alone this is a strong three. We understand it’s building up to the grand finale.

Dark Nights: Death Metal: The Darkest Knight is an anthology of five one-shot tie-in stories that is a part of the greater Death Metal event, published by DC Comics. This collection of three one-shots and nine vignettes gives a decent background and side-stories to the Death Metal event.Dark Nights: Death Metal: Legends of the Dark Knights (★★★☆☆) is a sub-collection of six comic vignettes that centers on the origin stories of various dark versions of Batman: The Batman Who Laughs (I Am Here), R...

To me this is the only companion book that is extremely necessary for Death Metal!The "Guidebook" story "The Fall of Earth" is the first issue you need. The other stories are not as important but aren't that bad.Issue "Legends of the Dark Knights" contain a lot of cool origins for some new dark knights. Story "I Am Here" and "King of Pain" being the only ones needed.Issue "Trinity Crisis" immediately follows Part Three.The issues "Speed Metal" and "Multiverses End" are also extremely important i...

3.5 rounded up. It's a collection of one-shots, so some are definitely stronger than others. I really enjoyed Speed Metal, and the dark Bruce anthology as well as the guidebook for making more sense of this crossover.

A companion volume to the Death Metal event. Two of the five issues are anthologies, showing bits and pieces of the dark Batmen and what was going on in the background at the darkest point of the event. The other three happen between issues of the main series, and I would argue that at least two (Trinity Crisis and Speed Metal) are essential reading and probably should have been collected in the main book. Obviously the overall quality is going to be variable, especially in the anthology issues....

This book made my head hurt.. However I did really enjoy the different versions of the evil batmen and how each of them were versions where he made a mistake. But it was kinda difficult to keep up with due to the complex story line. However I learned a whole bunch.

The first half of Darkest Knight is a series of extremely short stories. Some only a page or 2 or 3.These were pretty neat but at a certain point I tired of the super short vignettes...It's cool to learn how Batman got trapped in a Monster Truck but at a point I just wanted a complete story that really tied into what I'd read in Death Metal.Well I wasn't disappointed... this final half of the book was exciting, intense and helps illuminate components of Death Metal that are quickly glossed over....

convoluted mess

This whole even has been wild. I don't understand half of what's going on, but I am enjoying being along for the ride.

Most of these one shots could be considered between the numbers comics from the main Death Metal story.The Guidebook can be read in conjunction with the first issue. It's in an introduction to each of the lands in The Batman Who Laughs's reformed Earth. Legends of the Dark Knights are quick origin stories for all the dark Batmen who appear in issue #1.Trinity Crisis, Speed Metal, and Multiverse's End detail what each of the 3 teams at the end of issue #3 go off and do. I would consider them esse...

"The Darkest Knight" is a collection of some of the side stories associated with the "Dark Nights: Heavy Metal" story. Lots of history and origin of obscure characters here, but not tons that is needed to be read before the main title. The gem of this collection is "Speed Metal" where we see all of our speedsters racing away from BWL. A very complete story and I think is part of a Flash Volume... maybe.Overall... good stories, but not necessary to the overarching "Death Metal" tale.

Money grabber
