Guess what comic book and DC fans? Cyborg has finally gotten his own comic book story. It's been a long time coming, but it is finally here. It's a good read, better than most.
For years, Cyborg has been a central part of DC Comics. He started off as a member of the Teen Titans, and later went on to become a founding member of the Justice League. No doubt he's powerful and a veteran, so we're glad he's finally up and running in his own series.
So, how is Cyborg #1 really:
The first thing the reader will realize is that the design of Cyborg, who is also known as Vic Stone, is similar to the DC New 52 design. We're OK with this, because as the saying goes, "If it is not broke, don't fix it."
Both penciller Ivan Reis and inker Joe Prado have a done an excellent job here. There are subtle changes here and there, but nothing that would cause for concern.
When it comes down to the story, we get to see a more human aspect of Cyborg. His relationships with his father, who is known as Silas, Dr. Morrow, and Sarah are very important in this issue. Everything is still an uphill battle, though, as Silas, in some ways, still view Vic as an exciting test subject rather than a son. However, things are changing slowly.
As for Cyborg himself, it seems his body is changing due to the cybernetics. We get to understand that his body is evolving at an extraordinary pace, and no one is sure what is actually happening, or how to get it under control.
When it comes down to the villains, the Technosapiens, they are similar to Cyborg in many ways, but they are twisted, though not that interesting outside of their appearance.
Writer, David F. Walker, also introduced a few real world issues in the storyline, something that made us believe that one day Vic Stone can become more human than machine.
All in all, Cyborg #1 is a solid read and we can't wait for the next issue to come out.
