Man Plus combines traditional elements of the genre " corporate corruption, advanced personal tech, government overreach " with police drama and crime procedural details that make the book feel fresh. It's not as philosophically heavy as Ghost in The Shell, nor is it as depressing as Law and Order: SVU (at least not in the first issue), but it has the potential to be something of a bridge between genres in way that's accessible, fun and anything but boring.

In a marketplace overcrowded with Ghost In The Shell knock-offs, Man: Plus immediately barrels into the readers consciousness, hitting the ground running with one of the most immersive and exciting debuts we've read in a long time. The intense cliffhanger at the end of #1 has made us even more eager for issue #2 to hit the stands and already, we feel that an anime adaptation can't be far behind" Read Full Review

Definitely enough on show this first trip to justify another visit to Olissipo City. Read Full Review

While the formula may not be groundbreaking (a robot is on the loose and both the government and a criminal syndicate are on it's tale, but why?), Araujo has made it feel as fresh as ever. His passion for this project shines through and this seriesfeels like it may be a seminal moment in the creators career, a breakout book if you will. Leave any and all preconceived notions of this genre at the door and enjoy a gripping tale with what just may includethe best artwork of 2016! Read Full Review

Too much worldbuilding and too little story, that's the long and short of Man Plus. Considering that comic creators like Mark Waid, Jonathan Hickman, Rick Remender, Kieron Gillen, and Sam Humphries have heaped praise on it, I'm sure that the work will be better when taken as a whole. I'll definitely stick around for the other issues, but I can't pretend that it's the comic alone that's making me come back for more. If these creators that I admire see something great in here, I want to see it, too. Read Full Review

Another utterly intriguing release from the folks at Titan then, and while it may be playing its cards somewhat close to its chest for the time being, theres enough of a hook here in this first issue to suggest that Arajos long-awaited creator owned passion project is going to become something truly special. Highly recommended, folks. Read Full Review

Fans of this cyperpunk genre will find plenty to be interested in here with a crime procedural subverting some of the more traditional conventions. It's rhythmically paced, even with some talking head dialogue ebbing the narrative along the way. Man Plus is holding a fair amount of cards close to its chest at this point, and exactly what levels of commentary and how many, if any, will find their ways into the thematic thread are yet to be seen. On its own however, the Moebius levels of detail and skill on display stand bionically tall and the established tone of identity ambiguity merit your attention. There's a wealth of depth left to explore about these characters and this world and Arajo's has demonstrated a level of precision in this debut issue to ensure that the future is far from bleak.
