What Does Death Metal #7 Mean For Alfred Pennyworth? (Spoilers)

This Tuesday sees the publication of Death Metal #7, the final chapter of the DC Comics event sequel by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, setting up both Future State, The DC Omniverse and the Infinite Frontier. The wrinkle in the comic book's publication is that copies of the comic have been sold by several comic book stores, before the street date, as a result of double-shipping and early shipping of DC Comics titles over the last week or two.

You can get a preview of the issue right here, but a few more bits have been sneaking and peeking out as a result. Such as the word that we may be getting a few people back from the dead. Now given that much of the DC Universe has died in Death Metal, including Batman himself, revived through the use of the Black Lantern ring, alongside several other dead folks. Including…

… Alfred Pennyworth. However, it may not just be a zombie Alfred going forward. The conclusion of Death Metal #7 sees a brand new reality being rewritten, with Grant Morrison's Hypertime and Ryan Hughes' Multiversity map, setting up DC Future State, and what is to follow it. But it's not just all those who died in Death Metal who might be getting revived in the cosmic reset button.

"People who died before recent events". Remember that Tom King said that Alfred Pennyworth had to die to set up 5G, but now that there is no 5G, and a new Pennyworth season, maybe this is a way to bring back Batman's faithful butler in March? Keep an eye on those Bat-previews…

Death Metal #7 is published on Tuesday from DC Comics.
