Another exciting issue! Loving the robot-on-robot violence (and I think I sense sparks flying between Hourman and B8), and the team that is quickly assembling. Nice to see one of the original Metal Men, but I would also like to see some characterization done on folks like Ajax, Red Tornado and Tomorrow Woman,
The backstory is pretty cool. Not sure yet how the Psions are involved, except that they would be a natural ally of Computo and B7--- can't wait to see where this goes! I love a good space epic.
Not a fan of the fueding Magnus brothers dynamic--- but I will wait to see where this one goes (I have the feeling there is a significant development coming up there).
Oh, and Henshaw got what he deserved. Tyler is a badass.
(Which begs the question, btw, in a universe where the Golden Age Hourman never existed, what is the origin of the android Hourman--- is his name even Tyler?Is he a refugee from another universe?)
Terrific cover, Rik! Man, I know this is only the second issue, but the art on this series is phenomenal!
Quality job, all the way around fellas! See you next issue!

I am getting a real kick out of this series. Not having been a huge fan of the original Metal Men, this one seems to be tripping some fun triggers in me.
Personally, I love the relationship between Dave and Will (but then I have one similar with one of my brothers lol).
I hope Reddy stays around for a while in some way. Always been a favorite of mine and like my esteemed colleague already mentioned, I'd love a bigger back story on him.
Computo and the Psions + Brainiac7 make for some intriguing villains, and I've always been a fan of Henshaws.
However, the center (and heart) of this book is Hourman, and it shows in some quality writing here. Again, as was already mentioned, once things settle down, I'm hoping for some big time back story on what makes this man from the future tick.
Excellent cover. Excellent story. Excellent job!
