About This Series:

    I guess they called him Death Metal because Death's Head 3 would have been pushing it, but that's essentially what it is.  This is a Marvel UK title, and I don't normally approve of that imprint's comics.  This series, however, boasted a great story AND great artwork.  This was almost like it was made stateside!  I can't say that Death Metal is one of my favorite characters, because he's not really a hero.  It is, however, a great science-fiction saga.  And not quite as gross as you'd think.  I still wouldn't let very young children read this, though.  Save it for kids twelve and up.

    Death Metal is a killer cyborg character torn between good and evil.  He's at war with himself to be good, but his evil programming often drives him to kill.  This series lasted four issues, but Death Metal has appeared in comics before and since.

Issues:

#1January, 1994.  A well drawn, action-packed issue that has tons of fighting and explosions.  Can't go wrong with that.  Surprisingly very little in the gore department.
