Art 5/5
Story 4.5/5

I will give this issue a 10 because the art is simply spectacular and the plot works as an introductory element for this story arc.As some reviews mention, the most important thing is that this title feels important again, which was something that was missed.

Another good Web of Venom issue from Cates. A standalone teaser for "King in Black". And it made me even more excited than before. Artwork and writing was great even for someone who isn't so familiar with Kree or Wrath.

This was surprisingly really good. Way better than expected. Just felt like a good read with some fantastic looking pages.

Best art of all the one shots thus far, that also so happens to contain pertinent information!

This book is a lie.

I was expecting to read about the trinity vs the three crisis baddies, but they only show up in the last half of the book as the ending tease for the next issue of the main series. Should have skipped this expo dump filler and just bought Death Metal #4 by itself.

What a waste of my money.

Enough of this horrible Metal garbage.

The explanation issue. Why this was a separate issue but very important to the storyline just confuses me. Why not make this a DM #4?

Anyhow, it was eh. Just meh. Not bad, just a lot of talking and telling. Snyder really thinks anyone cares about the Robin King who is just so bad. So terribly written. He thought he could get another BWL but no.

Art too was just eh. Not bad, but nothing special.

Overall, an important issue to the storyline that really doesn't go forward with it's plot. Just sets up the characters for #4. Not a terrible one, but just eh. Just like this whole event. more

这期漫画你不用看编剧就知道一定是Scott Snyder写的。开会、分兵、潜入、被伏击，整个流程行云流水，从《金属》到《正义联盟》再到《死亡金属》前几期，全是这个套路。

You don't need to read the writer to know that this comic must be written by Scott Snyder. Meetings, division of troops, sneaking in, and being ambushed, the whole process goes smoothly, from "Metal" to "Justice League" to the first few issues of "Death Metal", it is all this routine. more

The focus of this book is far better than the main title's.

Another tie-in, picking up where Death Metal #3 left off. " Alfred-Boxes " Jesus Christ. I said that this title is an acquired taste, so you either love this shit or find it laughable. And Snyder's antics of Batman obsessed material is one of those tests for people.

Nevertheless, I really liked this. This may as well have been in the main title, because it directly is involved with the main story. It has the same energy from Death Metal, its big, bombastic, fast, high energy, high stakes. Has the standard exposition dump to set the issue, but it has some great action and art by Francis Manapul to go along with it. He is no Greg Capullo, but his art can satisfy this issue's intensity along with the great colors by Herring.

Love Jarro. For as overwhelming and convoluted mess the prequel was, Jarro is a treat to read, and so he has returned. Also with the the verbosity and exposition Snyder throws in this issue, he does play a delicate line with the ideas of crises, and how each one defines the DC Universe, and how this one is a final culmination of that history, literally. The ending plays with some really neat ideas that are pretty interesting.

This event is also a convoluted mess, but I can say I am having a great time with the elements Snyder has going on. Its crazy, its fan-boyish in some sense, lots of things going on and lots of things referenced, but letting myself go and enjoying the ride has made reading this alot more fun. This is how you do an event, making tie-ins matter and moving the story. Recommend this tie-in, best one so far for me and vital to the story.

Art: 10/10
Story: 8/10

Artwork.- 5/5 The colors and the Manapul's art is just great maybe this comic is worth just for the art.
Story.- Snyder delivers a good one, this book has a huge value and the payoff comes with the ending. I had a good time with this. I said before that when you tell stories like this you need every book counts, well, this comic counts and counts a lot 4.5/5.

* I was really surprised by the appearance of some characters. The narrative created by Snyder doesn't forget his older readers, those who have followed him since all this began. more

This Death Metal chapter is just incredible.

I thought this was a chore to get through. Time is eaten away by explanations we've already gotten. Bad jokes are made. The Robin King is there. And the ending is spoiled in the solicitation. The art was good at least.
