Top Cow/Image has released a new comics trailer for the upcoming series Metal Society which features robots and humans fighting for survival and supremacy. Zack Kaplan and Guilherme Balbi are two creators you need to keep your eyes on, as both have put out incredible science fiction stories. After speaking with Kaplan just last week about the series on the AIPT Comics podcast, it’s safe to say we’re in good hands.
If you’re unfamiliar with Balbi, check out Alien: The Original Screenplay. He’s joined by Marco Lesko on colors and Troy Peteri on letters.
So what’s Metal Society about?
In an inverted future, evolved robots have resurrected humans for manual labor. When a tribalistic cultural clash breaks out, a fearless human fighter and a frustrated, displaced robot will square off in a public MMA-style sport fight of epic stakes to determine once and for all who reigns supreme: man or machine.
Metal Society is set for release on May 4th. Check out the trailer below.
