    Overall, this was a far better effort than last month's offering. Better pacing, consistent tone, excellent balance of banter and exposition and consistent visuals. It looks like Cyborg is back to being the book we deserve. Read Full Review

    Cyborg breaks out of it's emotional slump in this one just to have a good time and it was really about time because I've been waiting to have fun with this series and now I finally have it.  With a story that progresses our overall arc, while stopping to poke fun of a D-list supervillain, you're sure to have fun with this issue and it's awesome art.

    With the conclusion of Cyborg #8 is now public enemy #1. That much you saw coming, though what led to this moment was an excellent read. There is a lot at stake here and it starts with taking a stand when the government extends their reach a bit too far for the sake of control. Read Full Review

    The series also continues to thrive on the strength of David Walker's characterization. He's especially adept at capturing the playful banter between Cyborg and Shazam, to the point where this issue left me craving a team-up book featuring the duo. Read Full Review

    Another Good installment to this public enemy type of story arc can't wait to see what's next.... The cyborg and Shazam relationship is genuine as ever that delivers nothing but fun and laughs. The art continues to be exceptional. Definitely a series you should be reading.

    I haven’t been as excited by this standalone Justice Leaguer’s book as I had hoped, but this issue really got me back interested, seeing Cyborg and Shazam working side-by-side. I think this book has a great handle on art, I just wish there was more to this book story-wise. I think that Victor has a lot of great, meaty emotional storylines to delve into, and it seems like this issue is starting to push the character back in the right direction. I hadn’t seen much of the humor in this book being appreciated by the characters in it’s pages, so the jokey nature of some of the scenes was something that felt like a moment we had been waiting for, for EIGHT ISSUES now.
    This issue opens with a page that thoroughly engrossed me, both be more
