Metal Society #4 is another fantastic issue. We get a broad idea which is exactly what we need as readers. The riots and violence too is captured well giving us a grand picture instead of focusing on too little of what’s going on. The design tells so much about the world. You can see the technological advances but there’s a smoothness about it all that’s missing. With color by Marco Lesko and lettering by Troy Peteri the series looks fantastic with a society that looks both advanced and rundown. The are by Guilherme Balbi continues to look great. Again, a simple examination brings layers as this fiery rhetoric can be anything from the incitement politicians use in today’s landscape to simple stance taking on mythic proportions and becoming what the individuals want to see it as. What are they trying to prove for themselves, not what society has implanted on them. We get a better sense of where they see themselves and their role in it all. Each fighter confronts their words and what it has caused. The depth to its story runs deep and an examination can go many ways.īut Kaplan also examines how rhetoric spirals. You can see how this fight and series as a whole is an examination of so much. For the robot society, it’s a way to show off their dominance putting down an insurgent humanity that threatens their way of life. For humanity, the fight is seen as proof that they can do so much more than clean waste and that they are at least equals to the robot society. In this case, each has incited violence in some way making the fight a powder keg of tension ready to explode. And, like so many real fights, the rhetoric has gotten out of hand whipping up supporters. Each side gives their speeches to their supporters. Written by Zack Kaplan, Metal Society #4 is an interesting story, the quiet before the battle. Metal Society #4 focuses in on how this bought has grown and what’s at stake at the center of it all. After a robot is put out of work, a fight is set up and that fight has spiraled. Humanity had been wiped out but has now been brought back to work in the lowest rung of society. Taking place in the future, robots are now the dominant lifeform.

At stake? The future of humankind and the future of robotkind. robot in a mixed martial arts-like battle. People’s History of the Marvel Universe.
