Kingdoms are divided. Monarchs have fallen. Families have been torn apart. The Kingdom of Storms, the Amazons, and the Els are on the brink of all-out war. Can Constantine, Lois Lane, and Harley Quinn stop what's coming? Or is the prophecy correct? Do Superman and his family have to die to save the world?
If there were any concerns that the series was starting to lose any momentum, Taylor, Putri and company place those fears in the stockade. This is shaping up to be the most memorable must-read non-continuity events since DCeased and its definitely worth catching up if youve skipped it so far. Read Full Review
This is another very strong issue of one of DC's best comics. Read Full Review
This is a remarkable series, delivered with sure hands, and no faltering. If you aren't reading it by now you are missing out. Read Full Review
I really like the strategies and machinations happening behind the scenes, the plotters trying to secure victories in battle. The hints of this third power playing with this world like a chess board is delicious as I wait for the reveal. The Putri art is incredibly lush. This is one of those books that I thumb through almost immediately after I read it just looking at the art. Read Full Review
Dark Knights of Steel #6 ends the first half of the story with a couple of reveals, some character work, and me wanting the next issue now! I said it before, but this is Tom Taylor's best Elseworlds story since Injustice. Read Full Review
Add in a shocking reveal about the Demon Etrigan's host in this world, as well as a possible resurrection, and this remains one of the most intriguing Elseworlds the DC universe has had in a very long time. Read Full Review
I started collecting this series because of the creative team, but now I'm in love with the new characterizations of my favorite heroes and the amazing visuals. The lore is such a fun take, and I'm really enjoying the mixed dynamics. Those who you think are friends, are foes, and those who are foes are friends. Tom Taylor is an expert on twists, and I am hoping for so many more in the months to come. Read Full Review
Just like past issues, there's a lot to like here. Putri's artwork is fantastic throughout with a distinctive look that captures the characters original general designs well while making them feel like they belong in this world. The various locations are all fairly distinctive overall and the costuming is great throughout. It's a really strong visual treat that keeps me entertained. The story is just as engaging as Taylor's other non-continuity books but without the same level/scale of violence and destruction. And it feels like there's a much clearer laid-out plot and story at work here that makes each new tease a delight to unearth. I can't wait to see what's next. Read Full Review
Dark Knights of Steel #6 kicks off the second half of the story and keeps things moving and up in the air. Can war be prevented? Will the prophecy be fulfilled? It delivers just enough unexpected to keep the readers guessing what will happen next and most importantly, it's a hell of a lot of fun. Another fantastic issue for a series and world I hope we get more of. Read Full Review
Dark Knights of Steel #6 is a strong end to the first half of this epic. Tom Taylor and Yasmine Putri split the focus of the story in a balanced way to make sure the story of each side of the coming war is told. With sides clearly chosen there is a lot to be intrigued about as major decisions are made that make the second half of Dark Knights of Steel hard to predict how everything will turn out. That unpredictability makes it even more exciting to get future issues of Dark Knights of Steel to find out what happens next. Read Full Review
Tom Taylor has managed to concoct a competent who-dun-it in the middle of a high fantasy Elseworld story. However, for a story centered on The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel, it has more of a wider Justice League style reach, more often focusing on characters like Constantine, Wonder Woman, and others. Read Full Review
Dark Knights of Steel #6 is good, but slower-paced installment that's more about setting things up. It's a bit of a surprise that this issue lacks huge twists and turns since every issue before it harbored some huge revelation. Still, it's an entertaining ride that mixes things up in a way that's hard to resist. Read Full Review
Halfway point and so much is happening so fast.
I really like it, so much so that I wish all these moments had time to breath and be expanded upon.
I wish this was a novel instead of a comic which is something I don't really wish for often. But the drama, the characters, the complicated plot developments, Dark Knights of Steel makes for a fun, interesting comic book; but it's genre and tropes may lend themselves better in a novel format.
Still, so much to like!
We're midway in the story, and frankly the mistery is holding pretty well, but I was hoping for a Green Man reveal of some sort. The art continues to be spotless. The character development on Constantine was nicely done, and some beats on some of others were a nice touch. The world's politics is fairly complex and interesting, but I got to say now is the time to start answering some questions xD But I guess... it's war time!
An entertaining and enjoyable issue
Decent enough issue. Lots of good drama with Tim Drake.
I was underwhelmed by this issue. It's also a little confusing why they would use Putri on this issue where nothing of great importance happens or matters and issue 4 they didn't. I understand that artists have crazy deadlines and get backed up or even if this was the plan the whole time. I would have swapped artists on these respective issues personally but Putri's art remains impeccable. I just don't have much to say about the story in this. Not bad but not gripping, simply a segue though my fears with Constantine's characterization and utilization in the story are worsening.
if you ignore the first few stupid pages with John this is Probably the best issue after issue 1( in nowhere of this world they would call this arse pull reveal as a story yet it gets this many pages). the problems i have with this is that Knowing Taylor's recent work so many of the ideas that he is planting here he is not gonna rap them up and probably so many of this cameos of different characters are just for the purpose of fan service. a thing He has been doing a lot in his recent series.
