John Semper Jr & Paul Pelletier “Cyborg, Volume 1: The
Imitation of Life” (DC Comics, 2017)
I’m going to date myself right now. My formative years of reading DC comics were
before Cyborg. I’ve never read a Cyborg solo story, he’s always been a minor
character in a Justice League story. So my knowledge of the character comes
from DC animation.
I really prefer the Teen Titans Go! version of the
character.
So much angst. Is he losing is humanity? Who cares! I read
this book and I don’t.
Look, this just felt like a drab, ugly book that wanted to
play with science fictional concepts without much skill or nuance. The dialogue
consistently felt like it was written by a middle aged man, not like it was
anything a young man would say. And the art? Well, it was just generally a
mess.
Perhaps a reviewer who is more connected to the character
may have a more positive spin on this title. For me, it’s got to be the worst
Rebirth title I’ve read.
