I read recently that Barry Sonnenfeld is going to direct a Metal Men film. I have always thought that they were a great fit for animation, and indeed loved their appearances on Batman: The Brave and the Bold. It will be interesting to see what angle Sonnenfeld goes with, whether the film will be all CGI or live action with CG enhancements. Either way, I hope that this film comes to pass and a new generation of fans get to see how fun these characters are.
This is Jim Aparo work?
ReplyDeleteNo Aparo here, Dan Jurgens and Jack Kirby.

ReplyDeleteThe old XO Manowar - Iron Man, Solar - Captain Marvel, Turok - KaZar, Magnus - Tom Strong, Archer and Armstrong - Powerman and Iron Fist, Harbinger - Teen Titans, and a lot of other Jim Shooter era characters would be interesting....
ReplyDeleteMagnus has a few more appearances coming up. I'm not was familiar with the other valiant characters.
ReplyDeleteBob Layton did some amazing work on both Iron Man and X-O Manowar. In my opinion, Jim Shooter and the early Valient comics were innovative by taking the armor concept to the next level, making it sentient, way back in 1991. Awesome story, at least making the armors "cousins".
