This book was great. It is an excellent read for people hoping to discover where the BLM movement sprung from, or want to know more about the waves of protest over police brutality.
My only small complaint is that while Baltimore is in the cover title, it is really a very short snippet of the book, with most of the time devoted to Ferguson and Trayvon Martin.

This was interesting. The main character has some serious psychological issues, and at times his rants got a little over blown, but I felt like he was a very different protagonist. This volume clearly was setting up his life, as there was very little zombie anything.
As a warning, the cover may show him with a gun, but at no point during the story does he actually use said gun. Maybe in the next volume.

This was a bit of a mixed bag, some of the segments I really enjoyed, while others seemed to drag some and have really poor dialogue. I found it enjoyable, as I know very little about Cyborg, but it wasn't one of my favorite DC graphic novels.
There is a really nice segment where Cyborg meets a group of people with disabilities, who all accept him as a fellow person living with disability. During this interaction Cyborg states, "I have never thought of myself as disabled," with which one of the people who is blind replies neither do we, we are the way we are, with our own strengths and weaknesses (or something to that effect). I thought this was really interesting, fit well, and had a great message, but of course I am a sucker for decent representation of disability in a story!
