Metamorpho - Year One #5 - DC


The origin of Metamorpho continues, unfettered, much, from the original. This issue was actually kind of a silly story. Stagg has an outpost on one of the moons of Jupiter. An alien presence finds it and destroys it. And with that discovers where the intrusion had come from . . Earth. So, it comes to Earth to attempt the subjugation of it's inhabitants. There's a bit of a skirmish, but then, with the arrival of another ship, it's discovered that this first alien is actually a mutant experiment gone awry. The aliens in the second ship apologize for the intrusion and swear that they mean no malice. And like that . . . it's over. But we do get a glimpse of another bunch of people that are on the look-out for Metamorpho. It's done in the shadows, so you don't know if it's a threat or not. But personally, I think . . . it's the Justice League. It's an interesting book, and true to the original. Although updated a bit. But not much else is added. As I stated last time, it's a good book for anybody who may not be up on the origins, but for others . . . it's rather boring. Although I do love the Kevin Nowlan covers. Sorry, I couldn't be more positive.
