The rest of the story could have been played out in another arc because we're already eight issues into, not including the Rebirth issue of this Imitation of Life story and the progression has been at a snail's pace. Introducing new characters into a story, where we don't even know what the story is actually trying to do doesn't make it any better, it just pads it out.Eric Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608213100601078621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-31063949598928602642017-01-05T09:02:59.594-05:002017-01-05T09:02:59.594-05:00How is the story in this issue "not needed&qu...How is the story in this issue "not needed" when:<br /><br />1) As a living semi-electronic being, getting turned-off is an INEVITABLE story point/weakness that could occur in any story/ used by any advanced super-villain so it was brilliant to see Cyborg had a contingency.<br /><br />2) The story in this issue showed that Cyborg can split/program his AI/mind into other machines to operate remotely.<br /><br />3) It introduced a new but fun character that is orginal to Cyborg's mythos thus expanding of Cyborg's original support characters which is very important if Cyborg is going to expand beyond Justice League as a solo hero.<br /><br />4) Finally, Cyborg is aware of the doppelganger AND we got to know who his/its name- "OTAC"...this brilliant leads into the next issue where we'll get to see the history between OTAC & Cyborg's dad. Hopefully, OTAC is somehow tied to OMAC so that that character can join Cyborg which could/would lead into the the (re)introduction of Brother Eye as Cyborg's next super-villain.<br /><br />Dont play dumb, you are a great review & smart reader... some pretty good development and introductions happened in this issue. By the way, i totally loved the to-&-fro witty banter between Cyborg and thief. Cant wait for issue 9.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842980439370497233noreply@blogger.com
