ComicPanelsOfTheWeek: Bedroom surprise...
I love the Metal Men.
I love Kevin Maguire's art.
I love Keith Giffen & DeMatteis' stories.
So no wonder I loved when all those collided in that super-dupper-epic series.
Poor Will Magnus... He always end up having the situations go out of control around him...
At least (Platinum/)Tina's always at his side to help out~

CBR DC Comics Presents: Metal Men
And we're back with the Metal Men once again!
Our metallic shape-shifting heroes didn't appear much in other DC Comics publication.
That is until the guys responsible for the 80s/early 90s Justice League (International) decided to give them a try.
The Metal Men didn't get another on-going series or mini but instead served as back-up stories in the latest iteration of the Doom Patrol. Penned by Kevin Maguire under the direction Keith Giffen (writer of said Doom Patrol comic) & J.M. DeMatteis, it was a return to comedy, a genre that is seriously lacking in today's comic books.
Was this new Metal Men story a disguised Super Buddies ploy?
Or did the BWA-HAHA suit Doctor William Magnus and his Metal Men?
Let's dig into...

Drawings - DC-doodles #01
My new TWITTER-suggested selection of DC Characters!
People who follow me there (or not) there gave me these following characters to doodles this time around.
I wanted to cover more than just Batman characters this time.
See if you can recognize what you recommended me to draw.
Here's some of my favorite picks:
@Eyzmaster mia speedy!
@Eyzmaster Red Star and/or Pantha
@Eyzmaster How about obscure DC characters? Like JLA members people don't know about like Tomorrow Woman, Triumph, or Moon Maiden.

Of course I couldn't get all of your suggestions in there, so keep an eye for next time ;)

CBR Superman/Batman: Metal Men
Here's yet another comic featuring the Metal Men, in their updated incarnation!
This series makes actually their first modern appearance in the modern DCU, specially it is the first time they were actually show again since Will Magnus' role in DC's big crossover epic 52.
In this little 3-issues story arc from the on-going Superman/Batman team-up series, we got to see how the Metal Men currently looked like. And it was here that the newest Metal (wo)men, Copper, appeared first.
Though the plot clearly takes place some time after The Metal Men mini story-wise.
(Some details are left sketch, which Grant Morrison wanted to explore post-52 had he wrote the Metal Men mini himself)

CBR Metal Men
Today, the Metal Men!
In case this name is already lost on you, the Metal Men are a relatively obscure team of robots from DC Comics.
They're easily my favorite original team of characters. Sure, the Justice League International, the Shadowpact or the Mighty Avengers (at Marvel) are nice enough. But those are mostly teams composed of existing characters re-purposed under a team book to keep them in print.
The Metal Men were and still are a bunch of original character solely created for the role of this team. (kinda like the Fantastic Four or Challengers of the Unknown)
And the concept behind them's so simple and fun!
This book was created as an attempt to bring them back into the DCUniverse and clarify their origin and status as well.
Doc Magnus, their creator, was re-established during DC's big crossover epic 52, and the group appeared as a whole again in a story-arc in Superman/Batman before landing the featured role in this book.
