Metal Men #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2008 collection reprints the eight-issue Metal Men series by writer/artist Duncan Rouleau, which reimagined the classic DC characters for a modern audience. The story follows the robotic Metal Men—led by their creator, Doc Magnus—as they grapple with their artificial humanity while facing new threats and internal conflicts. Rouleau's kinetic art style and character-driven narrative offer a fresh take on the team's origins and dynamics.
In "Chapter One: Et in Arcanium Ergo," the ancient sorcerer Zosimus attempts to unlock the Hand of Tezumak to claim the fabled Wheel of the World, only to be thwarted by a mysterious rock creature that takes the prize through a brutal ritual. As the creature begins to claim the Wheel, a sudden intervention from a metallic arm—sent from the future—snatches it away, vanishing before anyone can understand its origin. Written and illustrated by Duncan Rouleau, with colors by Moose Baumann and letters by Pat Brosseau, this issue sets a haunting, mysterious tone, blending arcane lore with a touch of metallic enigma. The cover, also by Rouleau, captures the moment of confrontation with stark, otherworldly detail.
In "Chapter One: Et in Arcanium Ergo," Zosimus, guardian of the Book of Orin, attempts to unlock the Hand of Tezumak to claim the Wheel of the World—only to be thwarted by a nameless rock creature that takes the prize through a bloody ritual. Just as the creature begins to claim the Wheel, a metallic arm from the future reaches out, snatches it away, and vanishes without a trace.
