Reviews

[Steven Shinder · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Cyborg origin is shown again here, but it's not quite as compelling as the Wolfman era.

[Ryan Walker · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a decent comic, I have already read a few of his origin stories so there wasn't much surprise. He is kind of bland of a character to read about but he is still pretty relatable for most teens and young adults. the art in the book is definitely some of the best comic art I have seen although I am not a fan of the design. I would probably recommend this book to die-hard superhero fans, but not if your not into superheroes.
