Some thoughts about Metal Men #6

What's Platinum's origin?

The Metal Men have been convinced by the Nth Metal Man except Tina who still feels love for Will Magnus, but what she doesn't know is that this might be a lie.

Okay, this was way better than previous chapters.

After multiple delays, even before the pandemic started, Dan Didio returns with this title to create a chapter all around Platinum. First of all, I must say that I love that Didio calls her "Tina" which is the nickname she got during Keith Giffen/J.M. DeMatteis/Kevin Maguire's run and it makes sense considering how much he has worked alongside Giffen. The story follows the cliffhanger of the last issue with Tina about to be convinced by the Nth Metal Man to leave Magnus.

This leads to her trying to figure out if it what she feels for Magnus is real and, considering how Didio has been portraying Magnus over the course of this book, that wouldn't mostly be the case. This shows how twisted this incarnation of Magnus actually is and how everyone actually sees him compared to how he sees himself. Again, it might sound a bit different from your classic version but it offers a new insight of him that seems unique to me.

Shane Davis returns to pencils and his work is still decent with solid expressions and clear enough storytelling.

Good read, hope things continue this way.
