As much as Forever Evil is devoted to highlighting the many compelling villains that inhabit the DC Universe, it's also worked as a pretty nifty method for introducing or reintroducing various DC heroes as well. We've seen teases about the New 52 debut of Ted Kord. We saw the Doom patrol briefly rise and quickly fall before the might of the Crime Syndicate. We've seen Cyborg nearly die and be reborn with a new, sleeker body. And now, in Justice League #28, we see the full debut of the New 52 Metal Men. And who better than Geoff Johns to take on the task of revamping the Metal Men for a new era?
In this case, "revamping" is almost too strong a word. There's really nothing grounded or realistic about the concept of a scientist building devices that bring metal to life and give it personality traits based on its atomic properties. So there's really nothing that has fundamentally changed about these characters. And considering how often the New 52 is slammed for ignoring the goofy, charming elements of DC's older continuity, it's certainly refreshing to read an issue that unabashedly embraces the Silver Age. The look of the Metal Men has changed slightly (they're slightly more robotic and mechanical in appearance), but otherwise it's pretty much business as usual for Doc Magnus and the gang.
