What’s so heartbreaking about the Cyborg comic is how hard it’s trying to be more than it is. It desperately wants to be a comic about character and people more than action or sci-fi concepts, but it all falls completely flat.
Younger readers who liked the show will probably still find something to enjoy in this comic adaptation, though the absence of Greg’s comedy and weirdness will be a big let down.
Lighter on quotable quips or humorous internet commentary than past issues, it attempts to get a little more serious than it may be capable of and the unfortunate fallout is the inexplicable small shifts in characterizations found within.
As we wind down on this series, fans of the original and people who haven’t read it, should be able to enjoy what Guggenheim and company have accomplished.
This is another stellar chapter in “The Darkseid War”! It’s hard to imagine anyone not reading this phenomenal issue, especially if they’ve been following the story. This series continues to be a must-buy!
…the emphasis is kept on character struggle and a quest for self-definition and personal growth beyond one’s own origins. Combine that with the stellar artwork and this is one of the better comics of the DC You, check it out.
