Heavy Metal Magazine had gone woke in recent years, and Clownfish TV talked about how they gaslit fans over giving Tarna clothes.
Here's what really needs to be corrected. The Tarna nonsense (a rule 34 version of Arzach made for the movie in the 80's because Moebius wanted to be paid correctly for the rights to his character) was a SYMPTOM of a bigger problem with the ownership of the magazine once Kevin Eastman (who was the last owner) sold it off to the previous owners who ran it into the ground. The previous owners and sadly I suspect the new owners of Heavy Metal have probably no god damn clue about what the magazine truly was.
Heavy Metal the mag was the American version of Metal L'Hurlant (Screaming Metal) from France, it was the magazine where a variety of European comic artists grauduated themselves to a space where they could get away with more outreagous pulp adventure fiction under the first incarnation of Humanoids publications. But when it got the interest of the guys at National Lampoon, it also became this amazing bridge between the more avant garde euro comics artists with the American Underground / Warren Magazine artists of the time. It essentially became THE most successful successor to the OG anthology by being this amazing bridge between the two comic industries.
This relaunch just sounds like more MAH BRAND and MAH 80's movie crap again.
Only after three woke-free issues will I consider it.
If they can capture the feel of the 1980s Heavy Metal that will be awesome
They have a lot of damage control to do after they went woke and snarky before the magazine went down. Hopefully it’s not a bait and switch
If they don't make it some woke clown circus, this magazine will be the one standout.
That's always the scenario at this point and it never happens.
Rippaverse should do anthology magazine series.
Why. 😂
Last time I was this early, JDA was on Periscope.
I hope so because the last attempt was RUSTED ALUMINUM. The new ONI PRESS is garbage, I reviewed 1 & 2 both of wich had horrible interior art and political propaganda and not just a race swap either.
I was subscribed to Heavy Metal when they ended and up to the end I don't remember seeing much of anything that seemed to be pushing a left wing sociopolitical agenda so I'm not expecting the relaunch to be full of stuff like that either. The only reason I'm even a little worried is I heard the editor in chief is going to be Tim Seeley.
it will be essentially impossible to get the old content in today's climate, but I'll keep a little hope
(3 of 3) With the way things are now....
We'll have to carefully inspect what this new Heavy Metal magazine does or does not do.
Maybe the first few issues will be fine, but we'll have to be doubly careful to see if "they" try to sneak anything into the magazine.
Remember, never tolerate even a hint of ridiculous nonsense because it will only go downhill from there.
They'll need more than a great Greg Hildebrandt cover to make a reboot a success. It would have to hearken back to the 80s/90s heyday of the magazine. Even then, with changing times, and magazines (and comics) having difficulty selling enough issues to remain profitable, I think Heavy Metal's time has passed. As I've said elsewhere, let the dead rest in peace.
I'm super glad you're covering this. I've been a fan of heavy metal since the '90s. However, before I buy into anything, I want to know the work history of company execs. This sounds like an old fashioned bait n switch. I'm highly suspicious that they're going to get everybody on the hype train and then start pushing the low quality high woke BS
Yes, exactly.
We can't be too careful now.
none of these companies deserve any money until they have been thoroughly examined first.
We'll all be happier when we are more selective about what we spend our time and money on.
Sounds promising!
(2 of 3) -GASP-!
Is there an actual American flag on the cover?
-GASp-! As in, it is surprising that the weird "people" did not try to protest this into oblivion yet.
I'll believe it when I see it, but if it comes to pass, I'm ALL IN with it!!
Having grown up with Metal Hurlant magazine and the original HM book in the late 1970s (yeah, I'm old. Old Guys Rule), I had every issue - having talked my parents into getting me a three-year subscription and a couple of thse flocked logo t-shirts for Christmas - for a while, until it got to be t&a for t&a's sake. I was disappointed when Eastman bought it, since it became nothing more than a vehicle to keep Julie Strain in the spotlight way past her allotted fifteen minutes. I would urge the new editors to keep Strain FAR from this new iteration. Heavy Metal Magazine is about so much more than nicely drawn peek-a-boo shots, wrapped around a paper-thin storyline.
Alas, Moebius and Wrightson gone, and guys like Enki Bilal, Phillipe Druillet, Voss, et al, are not even recognized by many fans these days. I wait with a sense of slightly skeptcal, yet very hopeful anticipation...
Same here. I'm THAT old too. People hoping it will be as good as the '80s! I hope it will be as good as the '70s!!!
I don’t think a quality heavy metal magazine is possible these days
I'm familiar with frank forte from the fearless dawn comics. I suspect this will be great stuff that goes back to the roots and that it won't be tainted by any modern day woke ideology.
They won't. Wish Razorfist could have taken it over.
I'll take a gander at it.
We all know it will be filled with sparkly trans zee/ zer stories
Poor lil wokies
Please don’t suck! 🙏
It's not 1977 or whenever HM started. The landscape has changed. People are puke tired of reboots, be they movie franchises, magazines, etc. Can't we have something New?
I'm excited for this
Well, the cover is a positive sign. Let's see.
Its a culture magazine and culture is broken.
my fear with this is they will hire a bunch of sfwa writers.
Sure you wanna be quoting SuperPoser from X? I mean, they're definitely based, but did you see their content? I wouldn't think it's your bag.
What's the matter with it?
@@Danahell Well, it's a mix of occasional political content and mostly links to their Patreon, which is "creating Sexy Superheroine Parody Art". I don't have a problem with that (I recently backed Clint Hilinski's Maidens of Mayhem and Blue Bombshell, which are similar), but I'm not sure if "Thunder Starr: Deep In It" and "Power Girl: Milkmaid of Steel" gets JDA's endorsement.
