Okay, so here's a funny thing about anthologies in comics...while sometimes you get to read the other stories in advance, often, you don't see the entire book until everyone else does. I was honored to be asked to write a little story in DEATH METAL: LAST STORIES OF THE DCU.
1/
The great @Ssnyder1835 was kind enough to ask me to participate, writing a story with the Green Arrow/Black Canary romance, which weirdly, I have gotten to write very little of, considering how many BC stories I've done. So I happily agreed.

Then I found out the incredible @MeghanHetrick was available to draw it, and it would be colored by the incredible @marissadraws, so it was going to LOOK beautiful, and I was even happier.

I am a bit behind on comics due to outside projects, but I wanted to be sure I read all the stuff leading up to this short story, which turned out to be a huge pleasure because the METAL stories are like the BEST 4 color acid trips. :)

Messed up the numbering already, sorry. Anyway, we did our story, I was very happy with it particularly because almost all my writing lately has NOT been comics and I miss making them, but also because it just turned out lovely, with gorgeous art.

And today I finally got to read the rest of the book.

Seriously, no hype. If you are a fan of the DCU, if you just love good comics, GET THIS BOOK.

I can't remember a superhero comic with this many gutpunches, not since Crisis On Infinite Earths, maybe.

Just a killer line-up, I can't list everyone, but the art is extraordinary, top creators giving it their a-game. And the writer's bench is ridiculous.
