I hope Cyborg makes an appearance
[QUOTE=jetengine;4639098]Kind of mixed myself.
SPOILERS
The good - The art is great, very emotive and the splash page of the metal men room is great, especially with the Copper cameo. I also like Magnus irriration at The metal men finding out about their creation AGAIN, his frustration with how many times its happened and how stale its gotten is great. Didio is good at writing this weirdly.
The Bad - First of all it ties in with Dark Knights Metal which isnt everyones cup of tea, its not a HUGE tie in but it still may annoy. The revelation of Magnus being a "Fraud" and the responsometres not actually granting sentience has been done before and its boring frankly, as a friend put it "Why cant they just let Magnus make cool robots" I get it raises the question of "Well why cant X make metalmen since their smarter then magnus" but it also ignores that DCs scientists arent all robotics focused. I also question the Nth Metal Man idea since it may just seem like a gary stu thing
Either way though its good to see the Metal Men back.[/QUOTE]
This honestly felt like tearing him down to build Magnus up later; I get the feeling the reveal is that in some way he was holding himself back and he's going to unlock the potential of the responsometer and give them true sentience, possibly from an epiphany he gets via interacting with the Nth Metal Man.
Didio not only said they're his favorites, but he also wrote them well in Wednesday comics and we've seen them appear in their own mini, a cofeature, a back up and all sorts of arc guest spots. I normally shit on him plenty but I don't think he's going to use this series as a way to ruin or leave them in a bad spot. My guess is that, for any real progress or development, Will needs to grow more than anyone; this is probably going to end with Will being less if a bastard than he is traditionally.
So far I'm in for the long haul. Point of interest: Tina isn't in those photos and he seems to view her differently than the rest. I wonder how Didio and Davis are going to deal with that.
DC is bringing back all of my old favorites. Metal Men, Freedom Fighters, JSA, LOSH and Doom Patrol. I just wish someone else would write the Doom Patrol though. Way needs to stick to Rock and Roll. He is no Morrison. All we need now is the All Star Squadron and I'll be real happy.
Very good first issue. Looks like this will not be simpler times and simpler days. Should be interesting with Nth metal in the mix. Looking forward to the next issue.
After reading the 2007 series I have to conclude that DC just love trying to put a twist on the origin of the responsometres. Which is cool and all but leaves us without much actual showcasing of long term heroics
This week, Nth found some interesting ways to make his presence known...

Lets see these Metal Men again. Copper, Lithium, Magnesium, Silicon, Zirconium, and Aluminum.

Sorry for the moderate thread necro, but issue six just dropped and it looks like Will is finally alone. We've just hit the half-way mark. Am I the only one still reading this? The Metal Men are among my favorite deep cuts at DC and it's great being able to read their adventures again.

I hope that these Metal Men have powers based on what they’re composed of. It kinda bothers me that the original Metal Men basically all have the same powers but just different personalities and “toughness”.
Would be cool if Magnesium could generate heat blasts, Copper is mailable, Lithium can fly and hold a charge, Silicon can control and shape silicon in the earth, Zirconium can become super strong and durable, and Aluminum can...turn into cans?!?
I'm exited to read this in trade. DiDio as a writer was really underrated. I fondly remember his Metal Men feature in Wednesday Comics.
