This is a good, modern take on the Metal Men that grapples with how the ego of the team's creator, Will Magnus, has impacted them. I wish it had investigated that aspect of the story a lot more. I think there's a version of this story somewhere that's more in line with Tom King's Mister Miracle or Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Instead, we get a happy ending to a story with a lot of implications that could have been explored more deeply. Pretty good overall, but I think it could have been pushed further.

This series was ok, an interesting read and enjoyable at times but not one of DC's best. The heartwarming scene at the end was completely tarnished by the narcissistic writer, Dan DiDio, needing to write in his own departure from DC into the scene. It was completely unnecessary.
