It may get no more metal than Dark Nights: Death Metal Infinite Hour Exxxtreme! #1—that’s right, three X-es in “Exxxtreme”—a one-shot Dark Nights: Death Metal tie-in featuring Lobo-centric stories by Frank Tieri and Tyler Kirkham, Becky Cloonan and Rags Morales, and Sam Humphries and Denys Cowan. Meet…the Batman Who Frags. And DC’s biggest breakout character of 2020, the Joker’s partner-in-crime Punchline, gets the solo spotlight in the Punchline #1 one-shot by James Tynion IV, Sam Johns and Mirka Andolfo that explores how a teenager was radicalized into joining the Clown Prince of Crime’s chaotic cause and enlisting in “The Joker War.” Plus, can a “reformed” Maxwell Lord help Diana against Count Vertigo in Wonder Woman #766 by the Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass team of writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Steve Pugh?
