'Cyborg: Rebirth #1' by John Semper Jr. finds Victor Stone with a quandry on his hands. It's a bit sparse on action, and big on soul searching.
The story starts promising. An ominous figure wakes something more ominous, and a crime in progress. The crime is stopped by Cyborg, the other matter remains ominous. Cyborg needs a repair done after he foils the crime, but he seems to have doubts. He has been replaced by so many parts, is he man or machine? This sets him soul searching with Sarah.
Not a lot happens, but there seems to be some set up for future issues. This might have been better served in a future issue leaving issue one for something more interesting.
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this comic book.

OK That was amazing !
I guess when i went to buy this i had very low expectations but i was pleasantly surprised to see this issue exceed anything i could have expected from it .
The Issue basically dealt with the past of Cyborg and his creation , but also went furthur back to show the past of his parent and revealed a few details about his father that may finally take away alot of Victors faith .
Issue started in the middle of the action scene which did come to an abrupt end but overall was a fun little sequence and Ginkees who noticed Red Torando in the Last page eh? how about it ? i'd be so excited to see Red Tornado back , please bring him back DC.

Another great one-off in the rebirth series. I think want d to get a backstory on him before the Justice League movie comes out (the BvS origin story was about as clear as mud.) I really liked this, it gave the backstory but also the central themes and tension of the character. Once again, not sure I'll be able to follow this series all the way through, but I am still excited for it.

Gorgeous illustration and unlike most of the Rebirths, a pretty good introduction. I already know Victor’s origin story so this wasn’t particularly thrilling but that’s fine.
