The story by Snyder is great. It is fun and wacky and just a joy. It is also very impactful and personal. Working with Capullo is when Snyder is at his best (and vice versa). That is certainly the case here as this series looks as though it is going to end on a real high note. Read Full Review

This issue is paced to allow the battles to breathe and the conflicts to build. The big screen style hides a story full of heart and heroism. We still get enormous action scenes but we hold onto the character moments as we get an epic Wonder Woman story against the backdrop of realities torn asunder. Read Full Review

While Dark Nights: Death Metal #6 hasn't won me over on the event, it does have its moments. There's some of those that bring the good schmaltz. There's far more that are popcorn worthy summer blockbuster visuals. It's a turn off your brain and enjoy the ride of a comic and at times that's a good thing. Read Full Review

Writer Scott Snyder knows how to create an epic scene, and this issue is full of them, all pulled off brilliantly by artist Greg Capullo and colorist FCO Plascencia. Read Full Review

Dark Nights: Death Metal #6 sets up the big finale, but not much else.  The art is okay, and while I am still looking forward to seeing how this all ends, this issue did nothing to increase my hype. Read Full Review

Snyder and Capullo seem intent on turning up the dials until the whole machine breaks. This is excess in its simplest form, a creative team unrestrained and seemingly unburdened by editorial. It isn't elegant and it isn't clever, but it sure is fun. And yet, six issues in and it feels like Death Metal has run out of steam. Death Metal #6 inherits the problems of Death Metal #5, offering little more than a few laughs and a victory lap of this admittedly pleasing 'One Universe' concept. If you're still reading, you're in it until the end. Let's hope the climax pays off. Read Full Review

I'm being critical because I've been wanting this book to be successful. I still do. I love seeing Capullo, Glapion and FCO drawing all these cool characters; I love their layouts; I love the colors, it's really fun stuff! But as much as I want a straight-up battle between Good and Evil at this point, I just don't care about any of it if there aren't any stakes. Death Metal has been entertaining up until this point. Hopefully the final issue will still blow me away, but I'm not holding my breath. Read Full Review

A little corny dialogue at some parts but overall good read. Its been a good series but between the tie ins and this its ready to get wrapped up here.

Uhhhhh, alright

I know it may be a bit cliche to start a review with a quote borrowed from another one, but below or above this one, there's one written by Afre, who asked a good question: "do I even care anymore"?
I feel exactly the same. Yeah, the story, characters, action and action are technically all there, but at this point I'm becoming completely indifferent towards Death Metal, and that sucks, because for me, a comic fan and a metalhead among many other things, it should be a perfect crossover event. So what happened, and why I think I don't care anymore?

I think there are three reasons for that:
1. The event has become too big for its own good, having several ultimately unnecessary spin-offs that added nothing to the main plot, and did not flesh out any of the characters featured. Thus following Death Metal has been both exhausting and unrewarding.
2. The end tries to justify the means. While Dark Nights Metal was a somewhat contained and purposeful story, Death Metal exists, so DC has another crisis level event, and its end reboots the franchise. Or, that was the plan at least, before plans of 5G exploded in the editorial's faces. So now we know Death Metal is leading to Future State, but then again Future State won't mean pretty much anything either.
3. There's no development for anybody in Death Metal. Everyone prepares for the final fight, but that's about it. The event doesn't serve to flesh out anyone, give them any depth and personality. When you think about it, like, really deeply, you'll realize it's a typical one dimensional popcorn blockbuster. And we've got plenty of those lately. Sometimes worse, sometimes better, but nontheless each being its own thing saturating the market more and more. Even character designs aren't clever anymore - remember the few evil Batmen from the Dark Multiverse? I do. I don't remember any new addition from this comic, though.

While Death Metal stated out promisingly, it quickly began to derail a little bit more and more, to eventually reach the current state, when I can't force myself to care about it anymore. That's unfortunate, but not very unexpected, I've never been a fan of huge bombastic, but ultimately empty blockbusters, when I can pick up more personal and rich smaller scale comics instead. That's why I simply couldn't care less about Endless Winter, for example. more

It is... fine I suppose? I really like Capullo's art and I really didn't hate anything. Maybe I just don't care anymore. Or maybe because there isn't so much mumbo jumbo in here that makes me question everything. There is some, but not too much.

And BWL starts to act like himself. A bit. I finally see the Joker and Bruce in him. It doesn't make me care about him or anything, but it's nice to see.

So, 6/10 could be worse?

Not bad, the art is great

I don't know why the things that are going on are going on, or why the choices characters make are significant. Like Wonder Woman putting her lasso into the Forge to make everyone 'remember all of history' in order to fight the nightmares of the Batman Who Laughs? Huh?

Same silliness. Same stupid plot. Different issue.

Capullo clearly was trying, but his work seems so much looser and lighter than his first issues.

On the bright side, it's almost over.

Yeah, I think by now we've had enough of Snyder's lunacy, we've indulged him for far too long.

Okay first of all this is so clumsy. Lobo explaining the plot to Diana while they make their way to the forge to do whatever? Like come on. Nothing screams, “I have done a bad job writing this event,” like needing the characters to explain what they are doing to the audience. Secondly, and relatedly, this is simply too sprawling. This has long been my complaint with DC’s recent events. It is too much, too uncontained, and you know deep down in your heart that it’s all going to be fine in the end, so you just stop caring about everything that is happening. These are just action figures being smashed together by an uncaring god for an audience that can’t even be trusted to hold its attention enough to remember what happened last issue. Also, the constant attempts at humour: embarrassing. Please stop. more

Lmao what a fucking joke.

This is embarrassing, DC.

This whole thing feels unearned and inconsequential with its over-the-top story. It's a discombobulated mess! It leaves one both underwhelmed and unfulfilled by the end :/ Honestly, is Snyder 5 years old? Because the script certainly feels that way. Juvenile and callow. It's a rushed and crammed filled event with no clear goal except to kill off DC, I think. If you're into that kind of thing, great. But if you're a fan of superhero storytelling, yeah, this ain't it chief...

Art is fine. The colors and inks are stellar tho ngl.

Holy shit, what would it take for a little bit of cohesion? This issue is all over the place. So much is glossed over and it's all getting more and more predictable. In the end this is just going to be like every Snyder event ever. Ugh, I can't stand it. So, I'm going to very petty about this. I won't mention how Batman literally resurrects a Batman Who Laughs to fight with him. I won't mention the inconsistent art. But I will mention how the cover for some reason has its title bordered out because I guess the colorist is as sick of this series as the rest of us, and refused to fill in those tiny border gaps. And that's not the only problem with the cover. What is happening with the chainsaw there? Terrible.
