From Morrison's Mind: Metal Men by Duncan Rouleau
One of my, somewhat, hot takes is that 52 weekly is overrated and there are a number of flaws with it. And my hot take as a Morrison's fan is that whole space adventure story is real bad. On the other hand I think that Oolong island story arc is fantastic. So I was very intrigued when Morrison wrote a proposal for Metal Men that then was used as a basis for Rouleau's miniseries. Looking at the covers of the issues we can notice that not only 52 weekly is mentioned as a basis for this story, but Superman/Batman ongoing as well. Whats up with that? Well, before Rouleau's could bring back a new version of Metal Men to DC comics... they actually returned in the pages of Superman/Batman #34-36 written by Verheiden. It also introduced two new characters to the cast. Magnus' assistant Helen and a new female Metal Men - Copper. Unfortunately this story arc is rather bad and really not worth tracking down. Fortunately Rouleau pretty much ignores it entirely. New characters are
