The issue is a good read, even if it is a bit slow at times. What Wolfman ultimately accomplishes is the perfect of catch-22, where none of Cyborg's options led to a quick resolution. He also creates smaller plot points that will become more significant in future issues, rounding out the immediate action with the foreshadowing of future, more complex, conflicts. Read Full Review

Overall I thought that Cyborg #23 was a good read. Cyborg finally has the villain revealed to him at the end as Nijiro. Having certain parts replaced over the years starting with his arm as a child, Nijiro finds himself 52 years later dying and needs a permanent power source for his mainly machine body. Finding out that Cyborg is powered by nearly unlimited Mother Box technology Nijiro attacks our hero without mercy towards the end of the issue! Wolfman leaves us on a great cliffhanger in which I'm looking forward to finishing in the next issue! Read Full Review

Cyborg #23 had a rocky start, but it was only when something genuinely began to unfold that this story has been able to pick up. There has been too much runaround, and too little action. No one has to come to blows, but something always needs to happen in some way. That is what this arc has been lacking, and now has made up for as Cyborg finds himself faced with an enemy driven to survive at all costs. Read Full Review

More than anything, Cyborg #23 is about Vic Stone the man, rather than being about Cyborg the techno-hero, which is a very difficult thing to pull off amidst things like Pacific Rim-sized robots. It's a solid example of what Wolfman did for two decades at DC, complimented by some solid craft from his supporting cast. Read Full Review

There's relatively little that's bad in this issue, but this is overall a pretty basic plot that feels like it shouldn't have taken three issues to get here. Read Full Review

A mediocre issue that is average in just about every way. Read Full Review

In general, this issue seemed to read like a middle segment of a greater story arc. There's no sin in that, as we're (hopefully) on our way to an exciting showdown within the next issue or two. Read Full Review

This whole arc has seemed like people playing hot potato with the Justice Leaguer, and the ending doesn't change that, though it does offer up some interesting consequences for the hero. Read Full Review

I can't decide what's worse, that the story is a convoluted mess or that it is boring as hell.  It's a tie, but the big loser is anyone who buys this crap.  It looks good, but there is no reason whatsoever that this book should exist. Read Full Review
