This is one of those comics that I had very little context for, and thus was not entirely sure what the heck was going on. I know Cyberforce vaguely, mostly from a two-issue Steve Gerber series, but the Top Cow/Ballistic Studios output is really not something with which I'm very familiar. That said, Mark Waid is a pretty savvy guy, so his name attached to a project is usually a good sign. But the art by today's featured artist, Kenneth Rocafort, is a real treat. It's lovely when you get a good artist and a good writer paired - one can often assuage one with the other if there's a lack, but every now and again you get a nice match. Like this one.

 Not much else to say, I'm afraid. Like I say, I don't know the characters or shared universe very well, so the events that take place are contextless, mostly. Can contextless events be considered a story?

More to follow.
