ENTER: THE SILVER MIST! John Henry Irons’s Steelworks company may be up and running, but this radical reimagining of Metropolis civic works has caught the attention of the biggest players in the city-both good and evil! With rival businessman Charles Walker III’s newest mutation, the Silver Mist, stalking Steel’s armory, John Henry had better watch his back or he might get a knife planted into it! All this while wrestling with the biggest question of all for our man of steel…“Am I man or Super-Man?”

    Steelworks'continues to build out this new space for the heroes known as Steel, focusing on deep superhero-related questions that are worth considering. Plenty of slick colorful action-packed science-fiction awesomeness with two Black characters in the lead, which is always a delight to behold. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jul 5, 2023

    Steelworks #2 is a surprisingly solid entry in the miseries as Dorn establishes stakes, a formidable villain, exciting action, and an impactful cliffhanger. The art looks great, despite the number of artists tapped to pull it off, and the reading experience is enjoyable overall. Read Full Review

    If I had to choose between this and the first issue, I would say this edges out Steelworks #1 thanks in part to its interesting character back and forths and much stronger conclusion. Read Full Review
