THE DCU’S MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR: METAMORPHO?!

They said it could never happen! But it’s real, hideously real — Rex Mason has split with Sapphire Stagg! Metamorpho’s a swingin’ single superhero again…but why hasn’t Element Gal made her move? Can it be because the Lady From S.H.A.D.E. is busy with a deadly secret mission–one she can only complete with the help of… Java? What gives, Metamaniacs? All this and Vandal Savage too — as only Al Ewing and Steve Leiber could depict him!

Writer: Al Ewing
Artist: Steve Lieber, Lee Loughridge
Release Date: January 22, 2025

Un peu dépité des critiques qui descendent ce titre car "trop retro et pas assez dans l'air du temps".
C'est au contraire tout ce que j'aime.

[scarletneedle]

Surtout que c'est assumé et que c'était annoncé.
A croire qu'ils n'ont pas fait la maxi-série sur Jimmy Olsen...

Non, faut que ça soit du Ultimate-Absolute avec des versions badass des persos.

Pas comme si l'offre était pauvre, il y en a pour tous les goûts et c'est tant mieux.

Il y en a vraiment qui se plaignent pour ça avec Metamorpho??

Sur League of Comic Geeks c'est assez mitigé, mais on peut y trouver ce genre de commentaires ->

	Citation:
	I feel like there's a difference between paying homage to the original series and then there's whatever happened here. The writing style just doesn't work well for me in 2025, it's cringy at times.

	Citation:
	As much as I love reading older comics, I don’t always love comics that try to throwback to past eras as they tend to over do it and become more of a parody of what they’re inspired by than honorous, and that’s kind of where this ended up for me.

	Citation:
	The old school dialogue style and hyper goofy resolution to the plot was just too much for me. I didn’t really find it endearing and the art was just middling.

Heureusement, il y en a qui ont l'esprit plus large :
