Review! Cyber Force #1 (Top Cow/Image)

COVER: Marc Silvestri. One of the unique veterans out there with a fresh feeling style.One thing that
                bothers me about his art is that he is still doing that "random, criss-cross, unknown shapes" thing
                that he invented in the nineties.Its his "go to" move but he doesn't have to use it on everything.
STORY: Marc Silvestri, Matt Hawkins. I didn't get anything new from this book. It feels like we have
                been there, done that. One bad choice was not really showing us who the "Cyber Force" is. The
                action was also lacking.This feels more like a number zero issue, too much back story and not
                enough character development.
ART: Khoi Pham.  Nice artwork, simpler than Silvestri but clear and clean...except for one thing. Khoi
           tries to copy the "random,criss-cross, unknown shapes" that Silvestri does and it doesn't work. He
           just puts in lines that feel unnecessary. In some cases it looks like he even confuses the colorist,
           Sunny Gho,  because the coloring is off on the "cyber" parts of the characters.
FINAL FILE: Buy,oooops!, get for free, Read, Bag it!
                        * You cant go wrong with a free comic by these creators.The whole 'Kickstarter' thing was
                           groundbreaking. Thanks guys!
