Cyborg's faced aliens, demons, and extradimensional forces, but a robot that claims to be his father, Silas Stone, breaking into his childhood home isn't something he'd ever expect! Cyborg needs answers from the suspicious new corporation in town, Solace, to get to the bottom of this. Is this a decoy or the real deal? Either way, Victor's time in Detroit just got a lot more complicated!
Things don't get any easier as Cyborg investigates the mystery surrounding his father's new life and the company that may have played a role. An emotionally rich powerful story that resonates so much both for societal but also relatable human reasons. Read Full Review
The character of the vlogger who mostly seems to exist to rip on Cyborg and his father is probably the weakest part of the series, having only one real note, but overall this book is a breath of fresh air. It's so much different from any other past Cyborg books, which only seemed to focus on the machine and not the man. Read Full Review
Cyborg #2 is a messy issue with uneven art that distracts from the overall narrative. The use of news segments becomes a bit overbearing by the end of the issue, with the focus straying away from the main character in an unsavory way. Read Full Review
Vics reaction to the situation is understandable, but the drama is kind of unduly amplified when one considers Vics history. Hes been through SO MUCH over the years. An android claiming to be his dead father? Even if he only died a couple of weeks ago, Vic should really have a bit more of a measured reaction to the whole situation. Hes going to be angry, but its not like he didnt know that something like this might happen. Hes not going to openly accept the android as his father, but his anger seems a bit out of place given all that hes been through. Read Full Review
Cyborg digs into the weirdness of minds trapped in computers as a new dynamic is established in this issue. It's unclear what the bigger threat is and the story seems to be glossing over established elements, though. The larger focus remains to be seen, but things seem to be ramping up for Cyborg #3 to offer key details. Read Full Review
Cyborg #2 builds on the mystery of a robot housing Silas Stone's mind, and all signs point to funny business at Solace. Tom Raney's art is fine, and the mystery of Silas's A.I. is worth watching, but the mystery is buried under an overwhelming amount of negativity as every character, including Cyborg, is constantly angry, terrible, or both.

There's some larger points being made through evil corporations and their affect on society going on, which is fun to see happen through a vlogger. Read Full Review
Cyborg #2 is very hard to stick with. At its core is a great story and a fantastic lead. The plot is fascinating, altering the concept of Victors critical father into something more intense and fitting for a science-fiction comic. And the mysteries within Solace are intriguing. But the repeated gags arent working and the unappealing art style makes the comic unpleasant at points. They are weighing the book down and getting in the way of the extremely likable elements.

2 issues in, this book is already underrated.
Theres some solid stuff here and the writer does a good job covering multiple bases in his narrative. The realistic livestream chat is pretty entertaining.
The art is really good. Theres a lot of introspection from Cy, and it feels fresh. What they've done with his father is interesting. I wanna see where this one goes.
