review:

Cyborg 009 is a reboot of the 1964 series by Shotaro Ishinomori that has a great modern sensibility while still honoring the past. A diverse group of cyborgs is created by the Black Ghost and they all have different strengths to bring to the team.



The newest member, Cyborg 009, discovers that his name was Joe and that he was in love with a girl. He breaks from the group and almost dies, but uncovers a plot by Sekar to build an army of cyborgs to take over the planet. Can Cyborg 009 (and 001-008) stop him in time?



It's all a lot of fun and I loved how unique each cyborg character was. The art by Marcus To and Ian Herring is a colorful western style that nods towards manga. The story by F. J. DeSanto and Bradley Cramp is one about what it means to be human and have friends to rely on. Nicely done.



I was given a review copy of this book by Archaia Entertainment and Netgalley in exchange for and honest review. Thank you for letting me review this.
