This book starts out for most of it as just an interesting team book of characters that you hardly ever see written but what is really under the surface is Dan Didio’s goodbye to DC comics and it is beautiful. I am normally not a huge fan of Dan but he really got the ending of this so well! I also loved all the cameos in this, and there’s several. Overall this book starts off as nothing special but the last few pages of the very last issue were amazing and one of the best endings of a book I’ve
I've never been much of a fan of the Metal Men. They operate too much in the goofy realm of the universe, but this series didn't do a half bad job of erasing some of that and modernizing the team. Using the Death Metal storyline for the foundational elements of the story helps. Still these guys are a little goofy for me, just not as much as as they used to be.
This series was ok, an interesting read and enjoyable at times but not one of DC's best. The heartwarming scene at the end was completely tarnished by the narcissistic writer, Dan DiDio, needing to write in his own departure from DC into the scene. It was completely unnecessary.
I really liked the dark edge of this arc. The Metal Men struggle with emotion and what that means for life. Loved the DiDio cameo. It was perfect and not the silly funny creator cameos that often drive me nuts.
This was a love letter to the Metal Men.I never expected to like anything written by Dan DiDio, mostly considering the horrible impact he had at DC with his New 52 line. Other works of him haven’t caused waves, either OMAC or Phantom Stranger, were a little pointless and never had a voice. But with this Metal Men series , you could actually feel his love and respect for these characters. (Yes, I’m still wondering where was that love when he brought down so much more from DC). But still, I’m impr...
A fun, creative, colorful run for one of my favorite and very underrated DC teams. DiDio throws in a number of other characters he's worked with, and it spins out of the whole Dark Multiverse/METAL event quite nicely.
Dan DiDio shows again that the only way he can get a job writing comics is to be his own boss. This Metal Men series was pointless and meandered through 12 issues. DiDio was fired part way through the release of this book. He's narcissistic enough though that he still managed to put his own departure from DC into the final scene.
A slice of the good old Silver Age, back again. I haven't read much of classic Metal Men, but this certainly feels like it. For those who don't know, the Metal Men are a team of robots created by the brilliant Dr. Will Magnus, and each is named after and has some properties of a certain type of metal. They also have "responsometers," devices created by Magnus which are supposed to give them the ability to feel.Plot: The story starts with a brief confrontation. The Metal Men realize that there is...
A fun version of one of my favorite reoccurring series.
When I die and someone asks you about the strength of my will, tell the people I read all 12 issues of Dan DiDio's Metal Men series without quitting. Not even the cameos by the worst comic book creation of the last decade, Sideways, could hold me back from reaching the end. I come out of this experience stronger for having lived through it.
I enjoyed this. I picked it up because: (1) I knew very little about the Metal Men, so I was curious to learn about them, and (2) I enjoy modern updates of more... B-tier characters. It's interesting to see new life being breathed into certain heroes that don't have the popularity of, say, those in the Justice League or Teen Titans' roster. I really liked how this book dove into the darker parts of Will Magnus--he wasn't a perfect scientist or leader. We learn later that much of that was the res...
