It's hard to really complain about anything in Cyberforce #1 because, hey, it was free. Not just free digitally or a free preview, but a free, full length, print comic. Not to mention that fact that it involves big name talent and comes from a major publisher. Certainly, there are worse comics that came out this week that you actually had to pay for, so already Cyberforce has a leg up on the competition. All that aside, this is a decent first issue that definitely warrants a read.
Marc Silvestri and Matt Hawkins have a built an interesting world here. This is a post-apocalyptic world that feels genuine. The story structure is great and slowly reveals the world to you in a very cool way. So far, the characters a little lacking, but since this only the first issue that's a forgivable offense. The next issue really needs to give more, but there is enough here to make you interested in that second issue. Here's hoping it delivers.
The biggest problem the book has is the art, which is surprising given Top Cow pedigree. Khoi Pham is an artist that can be really hit and miss, and he manages to do just that throughout this entire issue. Some panels look great, some look unfinished. For whatever reason, it seems like any time technology is drawn, which is often in a book titled Cyberforce, Pham just gives everything a scratchy quality. The overall effect is somewhat underwhelming. Still, there are more than a few great pages sprinkled through and hey, it was free. Hard to complain about free.
