Featuring a never-before-seen story by the regular creative team, as well as Cyberforce Volume 2, this collection tells the story of Cyberforce's brush with extinction and their rise from the ashes. New pages bridge the gap between the Cyberforce #0 story by Marc Silvestri and the six-issue series by Ron Marz and Pat Lee.
Marz is well known for his work on Silver Surfer and Green Lantern, as well as the Marvel vs DC crossover and Batman/Aliens. He also worked on the CrossGen Comics series Scion, Mystic, Sojourn, and The Path. At Dark Horse Comics he created Samurai: Heaven and Earth and various Star Wars comics. He has also done work for Devil’s Due Publishing’s Aftermath line, namely Blade of Kumori. In 1995, he had a brief run on XO-Manowar, for Valiant Comics.
Marz’s more recent works includes a number of Top Cow books including Witchblade and a Cyberforce relaunch. For DC Comics, he has written Ion, a 12 part comic book miniseries that followed the Kyle Rayner character after the One Year Later event, and Tales of the Sinistro Corps Presents: Parallax and Tales of the Sinestro Corps Presents: Ion, two one-shot tie-ins to the Green Lantern crossover, The Sinestro Corps War.
His current creator owned projects include “Dragon Prince” (Top Cow) and “Samurai : Heaven and Earth” (Dark Horse).
I'm a sucker for a good "superheroes who don't really want to be superheroes but are forced to give up their lives and save the world anyway" story, so Cyberforce was right in my wheelhouse. And along with a compelling story, the artwork in this graphic novel is fantastic.
I use to read Cyberforce when I was in school, it was the first comic that I bought with my own money. The storyline is now clichéd and anti-climactic but I still enjoyed reading about the team that got me into comics in the first place.
