Metal Men #3 - DC

This series is still a little confusing. But, with every issue, the picture becomes a little bit clearer. We start out with Dr. Magnus being confronted by TOMorrow's new Metal Men, the Death Metal Men. But as it turns out, at least from what I can understand, is they're actually Will's Metal Men. But they've been transformed. It's been done with Morrow's little machine " . . the Kamarak! The magic Furnace! A particle accelerator of amazing properties." It's a machine he stole from Oolong island. So will, with the help of UNION, shuts the machine down and gets his robots back. We then go back in time in our story, to when the young Will Magnus, after he had just garnered all of his funding, develops the Responsometer. But as we're watching these past memories, we also find out that he's being prodded along by his future self. At least that's who we think it is. Somehow, when will is thinking of leaving his discoveries for a dinner with his girlfriend, Helen, the future prods the past and enable Will to have his first conversation with the elements. The gold ring, that he's planning on giving Helen, talks to him. So he ends up standing up Helen, but while she's in the restaurant unguarded, Chemo comes on the scene. We then find out, the future version that's been trying to manipulate the past, from his base in the Rockies, is actually Will's older brother . . David. Very compelling story by Duncan Rouleau. I like the direction that he's going. And I like how he's gradually bringing the story more in to focus as we move in to the series. He's also doing a tremendous job on the artwork. This is truly his series, and he's doing a magnificent job with it.
