If you like your stories about rampaging cyborgs to be satirical in some way, it’s best to move on.This is a straight up action story, with a team of four cyborgs trying to rob a bank and getting attacked by the champion cyborg of the city. Mayhem ensues, although not for as long as you might think. In the meantime, Myron Makere, the man who made all these cyborgs, has fallen out of favor with his ruler, Queen Cassandra, who seems to hate pants. She wants him dead, but Myron does have a few tricks up his sleeve. This is obviously just setting things up for future issues and stories, of which there have been plenty that I haven’t gotten to yet. This one is all the way from 1998, and I have the next couple of issues coming. After that it apparently became a webcomic after a hiatus, so if you do like this story there’s plenty more to come. As for me, color me undecided so far. It was a fun story, it looked great and it was missing those obvious grammar and spelling errors that come with first issues. I’m intrigued to see more, but afraid that it could quickly devolve into a series of slugfests. Either way, more to come in future weeks that will decide that for me. I don’t see an easy way to get these on the website, but it does say to just e-mail the man and ask if you’re interested. $2.50
