Publication history

Cyberforce is a comic book series created by Marc Silvestri. Initially written and illustrated by Silvestri, he later turned his duties over to other artists, including David Finch.

The comic was originally published in 1992-93 as a four-part mini-series through Homage Studios. After Silvestri founded Top Cow Productions, Cyberforce ran as a monthly series from 1994 to 1997. The first few issues crossed over with Wild C.A.T.s for the "Killer Instinct" storyline.

In 2007, the series was revived, written by Ron Marz and drawn by Alex Milne.

On October 17, 2012, Top Cow debuted the fourth volume of a rebooted Cyberforce as part of the company's "Top Cow Rebirth" initiative. Made possible through a Kickstarter campaign, the first five issues were released for free. Silvestri provided cyberpunk-influenced art for the rebooted series, while Khoi Pham was brought aboard as illustrator after five years of exclusive work for Marvel Comics. The first issue received a positive review from Benjamin Bailey of IGN, who described the post-apocalyptic setting as both interesting and genuine. Bailey commented that he enjoyed the story's structure but that the characters were not fully fleshed out. The book itself offered readers sufficient reason to anticipate a second issue, which Bailey hoped would focus more on character development. Commenting on Pham's art, he cited some inconsistencies, particularly with respect to renderings of technology.
