Metal Society #5

The penultimate issue of Zack Kaplan's sci-fi series delivers a striking cover image: a human fighter in red athletic gear lands a fierce blow against a sleek white robot combatant, the two locked in close-quarters struggle beneath dramatic spotlight beams while a massive crowd of robots looks on from every side. Guilherme Balbi's artwork captures both the raw physicality of the fight and the eerie spectacle of one human performer surrounded entirely by mechanical spectators. If this image is any indication, Metal Society #5 is pushing its human-versus-robot world to a fever pitch just as the series heads toward its conclusion.
