What a fantastic book!!! Amazing illustrations and an equally compelling storyline that keeps your attention engaged till the very end.

Over the years I've found that it's difficult for authors to develop a strong Cyborg centered story. I'm not sure why this is the case, since he is a complex hero with capabilities of traveling across the universe in a second and controlling any piece of technology, but for some reason authors feel the need to connect him to his human roots more than make him an epic hero.

I like the idea of making Cyborg connect with his Victor Stone humanity and find that he isn't just a superhero, but still a man, but this leaves the stories being predictable and unexciting. I would love to see an author develop a strong rogues gallery for Cyborg and develop it over a series of 30 or so issues and, although I think that's what John Semper is trying, I don't think he's going about it properly.

If offered the chance to read vol. 2, I will probably do so, but at this point in the series, I would not recommend Cyborg to any of my friends or fellow comic book readers. Disappointingly enough, this is a passable Rebirth title.

A decent Cyborg story-- some interesting twists and turns, and it leaves me wanting more. I'm really not sure about [spoiler] the idea of this leading into a female cyborg being made as well but I suppose they could do something interesting with that. I just get tired of so many female heroes just being the female analog to an already existing male character. [/spoiler]

I requested this book for by brother, who's currently reading the DC Rebirth comics. He enjoyed this immensely, and he read it in under an hour, which for him, shows that this book is worth reading. 
The art was well drawn, the emotions in the characters were forefront, the villain was terrifying, everything we expected from this comic was there, both above and beyond our expectations

Victor Stone is Cyborg.
Teen Titan
Member of The Justice League
Hero.
But is he a man in a machine shell?
Or a machine that thinks it's a man?
He has to look deep inside himself to see if
he finds a soul or a hard drive.
All while battling threats that seem 
to me monstrous versions of his own worst fears.
That he is just a machine, his humanity gone.
Which side of Victor will be there at the end?
Man or Machine?
