As a huge fan of Marvel and DC comics which are outside of continuity and/or alternate universe versions of them, the Dark Knights Metal series has really sparked my interest. I realize that this story is canon and inside of DC continuity, however. Save the occasional storyline, I do not tend keep up with any current DC titles, though.
Being that I am a little late to the game, I realize that many of the individual issues in connection to Dark Knights Metal have become a bit pricey. As such, I have settled on the idea of reading many of these in TPB form. This seems to be the most comprehensive list of collected volumes, which I found on a reddit thread:
Dark Days: The Road to Metal
Dark Nights: Metal
Dark Nights: Metal: Dark Knights Rising
Dark Nights: Metal: The Resistance
The Batman Who Laughts
Superman/Batman: The Infected
Justice League: No Justice
Justice League: The Totality
Justice League: Graveyard of Gods
Justice League: Hawkworld
Justice League: The Sixth Dimension
Justice League: Justice/Doom War
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen
Dark Nights: Death Metal
I was just wondering if there was anything else which anybody knew about that I should read (TPB or individual issues), either in order to get me up to speed or as an integral part of the story. For instance, I have heard that Snyder began to build this event during the Court of Owls storyline and wanted to know if I will be missing much if I don't read that and others as well.
Thanks in advance!
