Cyberpunk 2077: Psycho Squad

Cyberpunk 2077 #LS7

by Dan Watters, Kieran McKeown (Illustrator), Giada Marchisio (Illustrator)

MaxTac is Night City's defense against the terror of cyberpsychos. But with a 100% success rate and a 400% kill rate, maybe they're the ones to be afraid of…

A corpo netrunner turned cyberpyscho taking over a whole building and killing dozens of people is just another mission for squad SPAR Delta. This time things take a deadly turn, and as a result the squad is assigned a new leader—one with a disturbing taste for blood. One member tormented by a dark past, and another with staunch ideals will have to draw the line between MaxTac and the psychos they hunt.

There's this expression in comedy, "a long walk", which basically is used when it takes a long time to get to the actual punchline. This book's story is a long walk, toward an ending that is cynical and feels empty, pointless, kind of trite even. What was the point of all of this.

The art is good, some of the best I've seen in these Cyberpunk 2077 books.

While this isn't the strongest narrative in this series, it definitely got better as it progressed, though the art remained mostly mediocre throughout.

"Without monsters like us under the bed, how would anyone survive?"

A dark and violent story. The Psycho Squad itself is partly made up of "reformed" cyberpsychos... where will this lead?
Not to a world of fairies and unicorns, as you have correctly guessed.

A short, compact story with some good storytelling ideas—notably a good use of ellipsis—and solid dialogue. Not much development on characters but just what’s needed to get the plot going.

Good art direction, but weak action scenes, somewhat clumsy.

This was obviously going to be bad yet violently entertaining. Which is weird to say out loud. Like I expected cool art and fight scenes and horrible writing. I was fine with that. But the it ended with maybe the dumbest sentence written this year.

Im going to round up from 2.5🌟 and it feels unfair to anyone who will read this with expectations that this book deserves a 3 🌟 review 😆

I read all the single issues and I was originally gonna give this 3 stars due to the artwork. The last couple of pages really made me feel the hopelessness and abyss that is Night City. In my opinion, this title is better than most Cyberpunk 2077 titles.

This was good. A simple story set in the world of the games that focuses on the idea of Cyberpsychos. Felt like it had more meat on the bone, but the ending packed a nice punch.

Was great till the end, which was a bit of a letdown and another moment which could have led to way more, was never seen through. This story needed another chapter or two.

Not sure what the point of this was.

The artwork rocks, and it’s a very bloody story! This is my introduction to the Cyberpunk 2077 world and I’ll definitely check out more!

I really like MaxTac so I was bound to love this.

I loved the characterisation and it has an intriguing plot that draws you in.

Excellent. One of my favourite CP2077 tie-in stories.

Cool to see Regina Jones make an appearance in this but the story line could have been expanded a bit more with some of the recovery process a cyberpsycho goes through.
