Jan 01, 1970Metal Society gets off to a good start and the first issue ends faster than I would have liked. This was a compelling debut for a series that looks to have a lot of promise. Read Full Review

May 04, 2022This issue provides a solid base from which Kaplan can shape the rest of the story. Solicitations for future issues indicate the story will become more rounded and balanced, giving us insight into the robots society and what would drive a robot to enter into a fight with a human. Kaplan has set up a great story that looks to examine a common trope in a new light. Read Full Review

May 04, 2022Metal Society #1 is a hell of a start. It does what good sci-fi does, entertain and also explore our own world. But that exploration is even more interesting in that it takes on so much to reflect upon and forcing the reader to think and chew on their own. Wear a mouth guard, this looks like it's going to be one hell of a read and fight to come. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
May 04, 2022The world of Metal Society doesnt feel like its been fully rendered in the first issue, which focuses largely on Rosa and the apparent need for revolution. Humans are seen being mistreated by their android creators, but there is still a WHOLE lot more that needs to be revealed about the world of Metal Society in order for any kind of thematic depth to really reveal itself. Rosa seems like an interesting person in the opening issue. And for the opening issue, thats enough. Read Full Review

Lotusland Comics - Hank Rea
May 06, 2022'Metal Society' is a great new sci-fi series that's easy to dive into. Kaplan weaves a fascinating tale about an alternative earth where robots rule and humans fight for equality. The first issue perfectly sets up the plot and the stakes while creating a powerful leading character in Rosa. Balbi and Lesko invoke 'Blade Runner' and 'Star Wars' with their own version of a far-flung futuristic reality. 'Metal Society' #1 a worthy new series to add to your pull-list. Read Full Review

Not a bad premise, don't see much of the reverse idea of the story, but doesn't seem so original either. Art style is good and hope to see the universe more fleshed out.
