As a seasoned gamer with decades of comic book adventures under my belt, I must say that the upcoming English release of Metal Hurlant by Humanoids is like a dream come true! Being introduced to this iconic anthology 50 years late doesn’t diminish my excitement one bit.
In an exclusive scoop, ComingSoon will offer a sneak peek at the work by Mark Waid and Jean-Michel Ponzio for Humanoids’ Metal Hurlant.
50 years ago, Metal Hurlant, an anthology initially launched as a French periodical by creators Mœbius, Philippe Druillet, and Jean-Pierre Dionnet, is now making its way into the English language as a quarterly publication from Humanoids.
As an avid fan, I can’t wait to dive into each installment of Metal Hurlant, offering a rich, 272+ page literary journey that showcases fresh content from the world’s most talented and innovative comics artists, hailing from every corner of the globe. These pages will also be filled with thought-provoking cultural commentary, biting insights, and intriguing reports, making it a truly immersive experience.
