Batman: The Red Death #1 review

Nothing makes a DC event seem more like a DC event than a shot of infinite earths. The one that opens this first spin-off from the Dark Nights: Metal storyline is a little different to the norm. The dark multiverse looks like a series of rotting conkers. It’s an arresting image, and the rest of […]
