DC Special: Cyborg #1 - DC


Another fantastic installment in the Teen Titans lineage. Most of the story here we know. Well . . maybe not the specifics, but . . overall . . we've gotten this story eluded to over the years. We've gotten bits and pieces, and have had to finish off the middle parts with our imagination. But this book completes the story for us. We go all the way back to the beginning. The story starts out when Victor was just a gifted youngster. The son of scientists, he was prodded to go after academic achievements rather than collegiate ones. But, he still excelled at both. We also learn of some of the defining moments, and personalities in his development. Right up to when he joined the Teen Titans. We also get some more of the story about his girlfriend, Sarah. Or . . ex-girlfriend. When you moved to the other side of the country, for STAR labs, she started dating a fellow scientist there, Deshaun. But Vic eludes to something that Deshaun is involved in. We don't find out the specifics this issue, but it is enough that Vic thinks he has to interrupt, and stop, their wedding. This story is being brought to us by, Mark Sable's scripts, and Ken Lashley's amazing pencils. This story has some huge potential, I just hope they play it out right. Vic's been one of my favorite Titans for quite a while, so it'll be nice to finally get some of the details of his life . . his life before the Titans. To the creators, all I have to say is . . I hope you do the guy right.
