When Dark Nights: Death Metal #7 thunders into comics shops on January 5, it may look like the end of an epic—but this
explosive final issue will include not one but two epilogues, each leading to new worlds of story.
One of these epilogues will direct readers toward a new vision of the DC Universe called Future State. But what exactly is
Future State? It’s an event that takes fans into the future, outside the usual confines of the Multiverse, where adventures reach
beyond the scope of mere maps. It’s a place where new visions of the World’s Greatest Heroes wage epic battles for justice that
run parallel to their older counterparts’ own heroic struggles, across a variety of different time frames. Future State provides
glimpses into wonders yet to come for the DC Universe—and where all the great stories from the past are real, and where all
these stories count. It all matters…because they all happened.
Gotham City has gone from dangerous to downright deadly, as a paramilitary organization known as the Magistrate has taken to the streets of the Art by
city—and when the mayor declares that wearing a mask is a crime in Gotham, a mysterious new Dark Knight rises to protect the public his own way! At the Dan Mora
same time, Bruce Wayne, presumed dead by the public, must learn how his own tech was used by the Magistrate to penetrate his greatest secrets.

CONTINUED
The Justice League, too, is reborn with new yet familiar heroes: Jonathan Kent as Superman, Yara Flor as Wonder Woman, Jo Mullein as Green Lantern, and Andy Curry as Aquawoman—plus
a Flash from a distant corner of the Multiverse, and a Batman whose identity must remain a secret at least for now. In fact, no one on this team knows who the others are—and if they can’t
share their true identities, how will they ever learn to trust each other?
• New Aquaman Jackson Hyde must fight his way out of a prison on
Neptune and back home to Earth following a mission gone horribly
wrong that threw both him and Andy Curry—daughter of Arthur and
Mera—into the vast abyss of an ocean that spans the universe.
• The Legion of Super-Heroes takes one giant leap into the distant
future—but who is left on the team? And which of them betrayed
not just the United Planets but the entire galaxy?
To create these amazing stories, DC has enlisted some of our top talents as well as numerous comics new-
Art by comers. Together, they’re sure to excite fans who are eager to see what’s in store for DC’s heroes in these
John Timms stories—most of them contained in two issues that run in January and February.
But wait—we said Dark Nights: Death Metal #7 would have two epilogues, didn’t we? No doubt you’re
wondering where the second epilogue will lead. Well, for that, you’ll have to wait.
