EXCLUSIVE: Top Cow’s Metal Society Pits Robots vs. Humans in Blade Runner-Meets-Rocky Action

Zack Kaplan returns to Image Comics and Top Cow for the new series Metal Society, with one woman entering the ring against robots.

Fan-favorite comic book creator Zack Kaplan is coming back to Image Comics and Top Cow Productions with the upcoming science fiction series Metal Society.

Joined by artists Guilherme Balbi and Marco Lesko and letterer Troy Peteri, the new series features a futuristic world where robots have already conquered the Earth, with humanity reborn to perform manual labor for the machines across the planet. The five-issue miniseries follows a young woman growing increasingly frustrated by her robotic overseers before deciding to fight them in the ring for public hand-to-hand combat matches to determine if human or machine reigns supreme. The covers to Metal Society #1 are illustrated by Balbi and Qistina Khalidah.
