Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Dec 26, 2024This is a fast-paced read, but one that contains a lot of stuff to speculate over once you're done reading. If DC continues to lean into this new embrace of the weirder sci-fi corners of their universe, there could be some great things ahead for the company. Read Full Review

Nerd Initiative - Ken M.
Dec 26, 2024Rex Mason is back with a flare and style all his own. Ewings writing crafts the unique environment with a throwback style. Lieber, Loughridge and Delgado bring out the best and quirkiness of Masons heroics with the art. This one packs quite a punch! Read Full Review

The Comic Book Spot - Melissa Casper
Dec 27, 2024The characters are all spot-on, both in voice and appearance, with Lieber loosening his style to get closer to Ramona Fradon's cartoony (in a good way) art. The pacing is also fast and furious, like comic books used to be, and you get a complete story in this issue, though there are plenty of hooks dropped to reel you in for a next issue.

Comic Watch - Lillian Hochwender
Dec 26, 2024Metamorpho: The Element Man #1 is gloriously, gorgeously weird. While a new year is just around the corner, its creators show us there is still plenty of fun to be found in the past. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Brett
Dec 25, 2024Metamorpho: The Element Man #1 is an interesting comic as it feels disconnected from the DC Universe and it's style is a bit of a throwback. It's a debut where you can just pick it up and enjoy it without needing to know continuity or caught up with anything else that's going on. It's a nice throwback debut you can dive into and enjoy.

Super Hero Hype - Matt Morrison
Dec 25, 2024Metamorpho #1 will not appeal to everyone. However, for those who are brave and bold enough to enjoy a little Silver Age silliness, this comic is a thrilling throwback. If you're curious about that wrinkly-faced guy in the Superman movie trailer, pick this book up and learn more. Read Full Review

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Dec 30, 2024Ewing, Lieber and company give us a Fab Freak who encapsulates his late sixties origins, with just enough of a modern twist to keep it all fresh, in both art and story. Read Full Review

Wow an actual DC comic I enjoyed reading?!
Decided to give this a shot even though I've been practically avoiding DC for a long time. They have been real shit.
Seeing Al Ewing writing caught my attention and I'm happy I read this! This feels like it came straight out of the silver age, the dialogue has a nice rhythm and feels very natural along with the classy art.
Can't wait for the next ish! Keep this up please!+ Like • Comment -

Groovy start to what seems like an interesting series.
Lieber's art speaks for itself. Ewing's writing evokes a Silver Age energy, and interesting premise that definitely makes you want to read what happens next. -

It's fun. We will see where it goes. Overall I like the different approaches being taken here as well as two face and new gods.

it's a very interesting start, considering Al Ewing isn't my favorite type of writer. I am not a big fan of Silver Age comics or classic comic books where everyone says what they're thinking and they use certain words. But honestly I want to be fair and open-minded, and this wasn't too bad

Just straight silver age fun. With just a few hints of Ewing's more thoughtful and contemporary approach.
