Who could win the heart of the most fabulous freak of all? Only one more fabulous still...the switched-on Sapphire Stagg! But when Metamorpho and Element Gal join superstar Sapphire in the spotlight, they find themselves in the gunsights of a deadly rival for her cultural crown--one mendaciously managed by the maliciously malevolent...Mad Mod! But what's Ol' Staggsy's connection to the coolest cat in crime...? Al Ewing and Steve Lieber have the answers--as the New Age of Metamorpho marches on!
Al Ewing, Steve Lieber, and Lee Loughridge's Metamorpho: The Element Man #2 takes aim at nostalgia culture, AI art, and pop star standom in another groovy issue of a comic that transcends the Silver Age pastiche genre. Read Full Review
There are some great visuals in this issue, as well as some hilarious dialogue, and it's really impressive just how much Ewing and Lieber pack into this issue. Read Full Review
“This happens to be a private moment! Someone else’ s private moment, admittedly but the principle stands!”
Line of the week.
Al Ewing is in Zombo mode. Which people will love or hate.
And Lieber is on fire.
I've traditionally been politely averse to earnest Silver Age nostalgia comics even when they're written by innovative British writers whose name can be shortened to "Al", but I can't say no to ironic metacommentary on "reactionary nostalgia" and a good Skiffle joke so fiiiiine, I'll admit that this was good
Great art, solid characterization, fun story, and just a hint of the meta-commentary that makes Ewing a keeper. Plus you can really hear Malcolm McDowell playing the Mad Mod all over again, ducky.
What the hell was even that!?!
It’s was like Tom king fucked Austin’s powers and we are reading the subtitles
