STUCK IN STAGG HQ! Who could ever replace the merely magnificent Metamorpho? The billion-dollar brain of Simon Stagg has the answer--and it's not a who...it's a where! After all, why recruit a fab freak to protect Stagg HQ when you can bring the whole building to life to protect itself? Genius, you say? Consider this, Metamaniacs--if office buildings could talk, wouldn't they have something to say? Something like...Die, humans, die, perhaps? The New Age of Metamorpho becomes the new age of contentious urban planning--as only Al Ewing and Steve Lieber could envision it!
This book is a fast-paced read, but it's also surprisingly dense, with a whole lot of lore and mad science packed into every page. I'm not sure if there are any plans for this series to continue past the sixth issue, I hope this is just the start of Ewing working with some of the weirder and wackier characters in the DCU.

Four issues in, Metamorpho: The Element Man continues to be a warm blend of Silver Age pastiche (Big Steranko Nick Fury energy in this issue's plotting), contemporary satire, and laugh a minute humor. Read Full Review
This series continues to be very entertaining. There are some genuinely humorous parts and some of them don’t rely on being over 50, having read this comic in the sixties, or being familiar with the parlance of the Go-Go-Check era. That said, there is something missing. I can’t be sure of what it is, but this comic needs something. It’s close enough to being brilliant that you can almost taste it. Definitely worth checking out. It’s something unique!
