New Metamorpho Comic Series Announced, Ties-in with Superman Movie Debut
August Tales has some exciting summer news for DC fans. The intriguing character of Metamorpho is poised to hit the big screen. Decidedly, he’s making his debut in the latest Superman movie. Anthony Carrigan is stepping into this coveted role. It’s clear that DC is pulling ahead in the comicverse race.
Recently, the esteemed publisher broke exciting news. They revealed a new ongoing series named “Metamorpho: The Element Man.” The creative team melds the talents of writer Al Ewing, artist Steve Lieber and colorist Lee Loughridge. The predicted arrival date? This coming December.
Riding the Wave of Excitement
Ewing is ecstatic about the pending series. He claims, “This is 100% fun comics, delivered with total confidence” and without any excessive dramatics. Ewing elaborates that the series embodies a “love letter to Bob Haney, Ramona Fradon and the spirit of superheroes.”
Broadening their horizons, Ewing, Lieber, and Loughridge aim to encapsulate Metamorpho’s innate quirkiness. It’s clear, they’re eagerly looking to add their own spice to his misfit makeover.
Lieber’s excitement matches Ewing’s. Exclaimed he, “It’s such a joy to work on this book with these collaborators.” He adds that Loughridge’s color work is excellent and is absolutely delighted with Ewing’s scripts. As a long-time fan of Haney and Fradon, he’s over the moon about walking in their artistic footsteps.
Embracing the Superhero Vibe
Fans, meet Rex Mason, alias Metamorpho. But, can even he stand up against Cy.C.L.O.P.S., the intimidating eyeball of crime? His mission, no easy task, finds him navigating from the pop culture surface to the depths of evil and into the elusive Ra-Realm. To discover the answers, Mason must outsmart an assassin who can mirror his every move. And this is only the beginning!
Diving into DC Classics
Ewing buttresses, “This is our take on classic DC comics.” Sure enough, their approach promises a satisfying experience for faithful Metamaniacs. They plan a gradual build-up towards a thrilling peak—a feat so mind-boggling that it may transport our hero into a realm of oblivion.
Who is the ominous Mister 3? What is the sinister secret of Sugar Sweet? Who’s the target of Vandal Savage’s million-year revenge? All these mind-bending mysteries will unravel in the New Age of Metamorpho. It’s quite the Christmas gift for fans, indeed!
