Dark Nights: Metal, from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo launches on August 16. Below, you can find a 7-pg preview which focuses on Capullo's art. There's no dialogue but it looks as if the alternate dimension the Justice League are investigating ultimately leads them to Mongul and the War World arena. It seems that a child prisoner (either Superman' son, Jon Kent or Billy Batson) is what's forcing the League to fight in Mongul's gladiator games.
DC recently acknowledged that pre-orders for Metal have exceeded their expectations and so the publisher is lowering the priceline for the series. While the first issue will remain $4.99, issues two through six of the miniseries will now retail for $3.99.
DC's SVP of Sales & Trade Marketing John Cunningham stated, "Orders for Dark Days: The Forge and The Casting have exceeded our expectations, and we're on a similar track for Metal #1. That's allowing us to decrease the price of the remaining issues of Metal, which means customers can buy the whole series for five dollars less than before."
