Dan DiDio may no longer be Publisher of DC Comics – we explained why here late last night. But he wasn't just DC Publisher, he was also the writer of the series Metal Men, drawn by Shane Davis. Issue 5 has just been published by DC Comics – but what else is to come?

Well, artist on the series Shane Davis, has kept everyone up to date.

Had a good talk today with Dan about Metal Men. It will finish up with issue 12 as planned. Already working on issue 9. — Shane Davis (@shanedavisart) February 22, 2020

Looks like DC won't be getting rid of DiDio entirely for a few remaining months. I wonder how editor Jessica Chen is going to cope with the new power dynamic? Metal Men #6 will be published in March. Halfway there…
