Publisher Description
The fan-favorite Justice League hero headlines his own solo series from rising star writer David F. Walker (SHAFT) and superstar artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado (BLACKEST NIGHT, JUSTICE LEAGUE). Victor Stone has had his share of near-death experiences-it’s part of what made him the cyber-enhanced superhero Cyborg in the first place. But after his latest brush with death, something has changed with Vic’s cybernetics. They’re evolving, and no one can explain why! But there’s more to Vic’s evolution than a new look and new powers. Something in his technology is calling out between worlds-and the message has been received by invaders who will stop at nothing to possess it. These Technosapiens aim to absorb all of humanity into their collective if it means a chance to get their hands on Cyborg. Collects CYBORG #1-6 and the DC SNEAK PEEK: #1.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
DC's attempts to make Vic "Cyborg" Stone into a household name have led to the character's first ongoing series. While doing battle with a mysterious group known as the Tekbreakers, Cyborg is briefly killed, only to regenerate his body thanks to an unknown backup operating system. This heralds the arrival of a new race of alien villains from another universe: the Technosapiens, a Borg-like collective. Seeking the unique nanobots in Cyborg's bloodstream, the Technosapiens attack Earth, forcing Vic to set aside his conflicts with his father. The whole affair looks surprisingly smooth for a series with five pencilers and 10 inkers; Reis (Blackest Night) and Lucas (Birthright) do most of the heavy lifting and deliver plenty of punch-'em-up action. The weak link is Walker's (Shaft) script, which has repetitive dialogue and little characterization. Miraculously "curing" the visible disability of one of DC's only remaining disabled characters is the final strike-out in an unsatisfying but attractive book.
