Metal Men
DC · 2019–2021 · 12 issues
About the series
Dan DiDio and Shane Davis brought DC’s classic sentient robots into the modern era with this 12-issue series (2019–2021). The Metal Men—Will, Tin, Iron, Lead, Mercury, and Gold—are reimagined as a dysfunctional family of advanced AI constructs grappling with identity, purpose, and what it means to be human. DiDio’s script and Davis’s sleek, kinetic art update their Silver Age origins for a contemporary audience, blending high-concept sci-fi with character-driven drama. This run stands as a thoughtful, visually striking revival that explores the boundaries between machine and soul.
