While there’s been plenty to like about the Justice League‘s ongoing “Forever Evil” arc, my favorite development is, without a doubt, the return of the Metal Men, a beloved albeit sometimes-goofy relic of the 1960s. This new iteration of the Metal Men is the perfect antithesis to what Eric Diaz described as the “grittying up of the DC universe in the New 52”, bursting with heart, humor, and personality. And, after you read this exclusive preview of DC Comics’  Justice League #29, by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, we think you’ll be hard-pressed to disagree. Unless, of course, you’re a malevolent artificial intelligence bent on world domination…
