Lace up the gloves for this main comic book event from writer Zack Kaplan and artist Guilherme Balbi
"I think the inspirations came from themes and things going on in modern society that I was excited to explore," Kaplan tells Space.com."We've all heard the joke thatare going take our jobs one day. It seems like technology is moving fast with A.I. and automation and it's a real up-and-coming existential situation that we face. I thought it was interesting to turn it all on its head and use a robot drama to show robots afraid that humans are coming for their jobs in a way.
“'Metal Society' takes us into this future world where robots rule the planet, humans have blown their chance. Robots bring humans back to life and they're doing the jobs robots don't want to do. There's an inherent sociological tension there. That allows me to explore topical situations about tribalisms and how we seem to be more divided as human beings than ever before.
"We're doing this whole world creation of a future that is completely inhabited by all sorts of different robots and futuristic cities, but also the human world where it's grittier and more Earth-felt," he added."So there's a contrast within this mega-world, a lot of character work, the movement and energy of the boxing drama, and so it was a tall order.
. He was comfortable with these dystopian kind of tones and putting this evocative emotion behind it. Then we've got robots talking, humans talking, and announcers shouting, and our letterer Troy Peteri does an amazing job of balancing all the lettering styles required. We tried very hard to play with layout and the comics medium so that we could really bring the reader into the world."
