Kickstarter – Cyber Force Returns!

The Cyber Force Returns! Kickstarter project is quite ambitious; ask fans to fund five new Cyberforce comic books — a reboot of the Image series (Wikipedia) — and then give those comics away for free in stores. Crazy, but considering the project has met its goal it looks as if this will be a reality. Five comics free, one each month, in stores? I’m not totally clear on how this is going to work. But I applaud the attempt and hope that it works out for the fans, the stores, and the creators.

“Well on the surface, one could say that it’s to celebrate Image and Top Cow hitting the 20 year mark which isn’t a bad reason but celebrating anniversaries isn’t enough. To warrant bringing something back and in turn retooling it, you’d better have something new to say. And that thing you want to say needs to be relevant and organic to the concept/characters. Thematically, the ideas for Cyber Force fit in today’s world much more fluidly than they did 20 years ago. The literal fusion of nature and technology is a future we can all see coming and the doors that open because of it are as interesting as the doors it will close.”
