    Directly from Metal you got No Justice, and then the Justice League by Snyder, JL Dark and JL Odyssey in the coming weeks and months, and the New Age of Heroes books (classed here in what I think is the relevance of Metal in them) :

    • Immortal men
    • The Unexpected
    • The Terrifics
    • Sideways
    • The Curse of Brimstone
    • New Challengers
    • Damage
    • The Silencer


    There is also the 3-issues mini Batman and the Signal, which happens after Metal but isn't really too tied to it.

    Do you think we'll get Deluxe Editions or possibly an Omni down the road collecting all of this?

    Sadly, I don't think they're selling well enough to justify that. But I could be wrong.

    Of course there's the New Age of Heroes line already mentioned, though I haven't seen anything to make me want to read any of it but Terrifics, which is the only series comprised of existing characters and which seems to have very little to do with Metal.

    Metal also, seemingly much more importantly, led to the full New Justice line, including Justice League, JL Odyssey, JL Dark, Titans, and Teen Titans. In fact one of the major plot points of Metal is touching almost every corner of the DCU. It has to do with the breaking of a certain wall. Or should I say "Wall?"

    The tie-ins for Metal were pretty good as event tie-ins go and the main series was a great read even if I was Metaled out by the end. But the plot points in the final issue, most particularly to do with that wall/Wall are apparent in most DC comics lately.

    You don't need to have read Metal for any of it except that one plot point but if you have read Metal it's a smoother transition to No Justice (the utterly skippable mini between Metal and New Justice line) and New Justice titles.

    The new Hawkman series also tied into the effects of Metal.

    Spinning out of Metal. Get No Justice. Justice League. Sideways & The Terrifics seem to be the only two hits of the New Age of Heroes.

    The Superman & Batman lines seem to be doing gangbusters these days. Hopefully Wonder Woman & Green Lantern will join them soon.

    The Unexpectd and Silencer are awesome man. As in, some of the best books here, simply because the main characters are so damn relatable and sympathetic. And while it's special, Curse of Brimstone is doing a great job exploring the creeping horror of the Dark Multiverse.

    Immortal Men is still somewhat weaker than those three, but it's still a great read IMHO.

    I expect Silencer to be a mainstay of the DCU for years and years. I think I like the idea of Immortal Men way more than the actual execution. Haven't checked out Brimstone yet or Damage.

    Brimstone first three issues are a slow burn (eh!) but issue 4 gave us some serious reveal, expanded the cast of characters with a very intriguing new one, and man, and revealing the link to the Dark Multiverse. I think it'll be a turning point, really. I highly recommend it, in fact you can almost jump in in issue 4 without reading the first three, it think.
