During my life time there have been no long runs of the Metal Men, and all of the short runs have done weird things with them and created loopholes in the DC universe. This 8-issue mini-series introduces all 6 of the Metal Men: Gold, Tin, Lead, Mercury, Iron, Platina (formerly Tina or Platinum), and the new sarcastic character Copper. This mini-series also stars a sane Dr. William Magnus. The art in this book is very colorful and suits the Metal Men well. The comic starts out with an introduction of the baddies yet to be named, and then transitions into the metal men fighting a big army of other robots. Then after a few pages it goes into flashback mode where it pulls in new readers of the Metal Men and gives a background story of Dr. Magnus and the first Metal Men (-Copper). On the last page it leaves you with a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more of the mini-series that looks like it will be a very fulfilling read.
