This summer, the character Metamorpho is set to make his on-screen debut in the new Superman movie, played by actor Anthony Carrigan, and it looks like DC is getting a head start: Today, the publisher announced that it will be releasing a new Metamorpho: Element Man serialized series in December, from writer Al Ewing, artist Steve Lieber, and colorist Lee Loughridge.
Check out the official press release and preview art below.
“This is 100% fun comics delivered with total confidence, heartfelt joy and without a wink at the camera,” Ewing said of the new series. “It’s a love letter to Bob Haney, Ramona Fradon and the wildest, wackiest superhero spirit. We aim to capture Metamorpho’s essential, wonderful wackiness as if it were lightning in a bottle and spice it up in our own unique way.”
“Working on this book with these co-stars is so much fun,” Lieber said. “Al Ewing’s script is so amazing and Lee Loughridge’s colors are impeccable. As a longtime fan of Bob Haney and Ramona Fradon, I can’t believe I get to follow in their footsteps.”
To know him is to love him. He is the one and only Rex Mason, aka Metamorpho… But can he prevail against Psy-Clops, the hairy eyeball of crime who watches over us from the top of the pop charts to the depths of evil and the far-flung Lar-Realm? To find out, Element Man must survive a handpicked assassin worthy of his own match… And that’s just the first issue!
“It’s our take on classic DC Comics,” Ewing continued, “a one-off story that will satisfy the most discerning meta-addict, month after month. A thousand changes of strange events that escalate into something so outrageous that it seems like a one-way ticket to nowhere. Who is the terrifying Mister 3? What is Sugar Sweet’s sinister secret? Who is the target of Vandal Savage’s million-year-old revenge? All these outlandish mysteries and more will be revealed in New Age of Metamorphosis. It’s your Christmas gift!”
Metamorpho: The Element Man #1 is written by Al Ewing with interior art and main cover by Steve Lieber, colors by Lee Loughridge and lettering by Ferran Delgado, with alternate covers by Erica Henderson, Ian Bertram and Steve Beach, and will be published on December 25th.
