Metallix

From 2002 to 2003, Future Comics published Metallix, a seven-issue series that reimagined the classic superhero origin through a sleek, tech-driven lens. Written by industry veterans Bob Layton and David Michelinie, with dynamic, futuristic art by Ron Lim, the book introduced a new armored hero whose powers came from cutting-edge nanotechnology. A bold, short-lived experiment from a creator-owned publisher, Metallix stands as a distinctive artifact of early-2000s comics, showcasing the talents of three creators who had previously defined Marvel's cosmic and armored heroes.
