Writer Scott Snyder has released a checklist of reading material for his and Greg Capullo's upcoming DC event Dark Nights: Death Metal.According to Snyder, the current version of the checklist, which goes through October, includes not only the core issues but Death Metal: Legends of the Dark Knights and Metalverse Guidebook in August and Trinity Crisis, Speed Metal and Multiverse's End in September. "Then in November and December we have some more killer specials AND X-overs planned as we near our giant finale..." he added. "...BUT how many we do depends on how you're enjoying the event, what you say you want, all of it. So the last specials and X-overs still secret and TBD :)"

Based on the previous version of the checklist, which is shown the photo Snyder tweeted, two of the specials planned for October and beyond include Last 52 and Robin King, though there are currently no details on what those books would entail.

Death Metal will spin out of the events of Snyder's recently concluded Justice League run, as well as Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen, and will see the DC Universe consumed by Dark Multiverse energy courtesy of The Batman Who Laughs and the Infected. However, when Wonder Woman gets her hands on a key piece of information, she'll attempt to recruit Earth's remaining heroes to take a stand against The Batman Who Laughs, the Infected and Perpetua.

Dark Nights: Death Metal #1, by Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion and FCO Plascencia, goes on sale June 16 from DC.
