Get Ready To Rumble With New Sci-fi Comic METAL SOCIETY

Image/Top Cow have a new sci-fi mini series coming out, Metal Society. Created by Zack Kaplan, Guilherme Balbi, Marco Lesko, and Troy Peteri the story promises to be a kind of Rocky-esque story set in a future where robots rule over everything. 

In Metal Society, the creators take readers on an inverted future, where evolved robots resurrect humans for manual labor. But, a tribalistic cultural clash breaks out, causing a fearless human fighter and a frustrated, displaced robot to square off in a public fight of epic stakes.  

It sounds like it could be visually very cool with lots of fight scenes of humans and robots. Kaplan says,

While our own technology, our politics, and our world are changing faster than ever, sadly our society seems to be responding with aggression and hostility. We’re resorting to tribalism and we’re allowing our differences to be aired out publicly for entertainment value… …I’ve always been inspired by great robot stories that remind us of our own experience, and I thought that by exploring this Rocky-style fight drama in a futuristic robot-ruled world—this charged robot vs human culture clash, and the 'human' fighters that get pulled into these public battles—we might just learn something about our own humanity and our social conflicts today.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, you can find Metal Society in comic shops and digitally on May 5.
