This is a good revenge story for a woman that lost her team members。
Sorcered,
Nadia este o asistentă medicală care lucrează pentru Trauma Team International, mercenari care salvează viața clienților lor bogați în timp ce distrug viețile "victimelor colaterale" (în general săraci lipiți)。 Este singura supraviețuitoare a unei misiuni eșuate, în timpul căreia un spadasin psihopat i-a ucis (rânjind satisfăcut) toți colegii。 Încercând să-și refacă viața după această pierdere (care e mult mai profundă decât pare), ea își ignoră trauma și se întoarce pe străzile nemiloase și scă Nadia este o asistentă medicală care lucrează pentru Trauma Team International, mercenari care salvează viața clienților lor bogați în timp ce distrug viețile "victimelor colaterale" (în general săraci lipiți)。 Este singura supraviețuitoare a unei misiuni eșuate, în timpul căreia un spadasin psihopat i-a ucis (rânjind satisfăcut) toți colegii。 Încercând să-și refacă viața după această pierdere (care e mult mai profundă decât pare), ea își ignoră trauma și se întoarce pe străzile nemiloase și scăldate în neon ale universului Cyberpunk 2077。 În mod ironic, ținta noii sale misiuni de extracție este spadasinul responsabil de moartea coechipierilor ei。 Ce va alege Nadia - datoria sau răzbunarea? Grafica lui Miguel Valderrama e consistent decentă, chiar bună uneori, dar culorile fac toți banii, Da, Jason Wordie face o treabă foarte bună。 Povestea este bine spusă, deși nu e deloc originală și încearcă să înghesuie prea multe în prea puține pagini。 Iar finalul e evident。Cu toate astea, e o lectură plăcută - "plăcut" poate nu e cel mai bun termen pentru o poveste cyberpunk rea și dură, scăldată în sânge și luminată de explozii, cu acțiune non-stop, priveliști spectaculoase și o eroină defectă - dar cu o inimă de aur。 。。。more
Hanussen,
Nejedná se o nikterak rozsáhlý příběh, spíš takovou povídku, ale autorům se do ní podařilo vměstnat ten správný poměr akce a filozofování, že to funguje úplně parádně。 Vzhledem k tématu hry bylo docela osvěžující, že hlavní hrdinkou je právě členka trauma teamu, tedy lékařské jednotky。 Neustálé úvahy o záchraně či nezáchraně života byly taky tak akorát。 Herní komiksy moc nevyhledávám, ale u Cyberpunku jsem se nakonec rozhodl udělat výjimku a bylo to dobré rozhodnutí。

I enjoyed the glimpse into Trauma Team。 You don't really have much to do with them in the game and the little contact you do have shows them as ruthless, efficient and almost robotic。 This story shows a human side to them。 It's pretty short and fast-paced, but still manages to flesh out the main character。 I enjoyed the glimpse into Trauma Team。 You don't really have much to do with them in the game and the little contact you do have shows them as ruthless, efficient and almost robotic。 This story shows a human side to them。 It's pretty short and fast-paced, but still manages to flesh out the main character。 。。。more

Komiksy z herního světa nejsou žádnou novinkou a tak není divu, že tak velký titul jako Cyberpunk dostal také svůj vlastní komiks。 Naše hlavní hrdinka Nadia se vrací zpátky do služeb trauma týmu。 Proplétají se tu dvě časové linie, a to právě přítomnost a Nadiina tragická minulost。 Děj se točí okolo návratu Nadii do aktivní služby zdravotnice。 Komiks je poměrně krátký, jde jen o jednu záchrannou misi s odskoky do minulosti。 Všechno až příliš rychle uteklo, zvlášť s příjemně utíkajícím dějem, kter Komiksy z herního světa nejsou žádnou novinkou a tak není divu, že tak velký titul jako Cyberpunk dostal také svůj vlastní komiks。 Naše hlavní hrdinka Nadia se vrací zpátky do služeb trauma týmu。 Proplétají se tu dvě časové linie, a to právě přítomnost a Nadiina tragická minulost。 Děj se točí okolo návratu Nadii do aktivní služby zdravotnice。 Komiks je poměrně krátký, jde jen o jednu záchrannou misi s odskoky do minulosti。 Všechno až příliš rychle uteklo, zvlášť s příjemně utíkajícím dějem, který mě na druhou stranu bavil, a třeba právě konec mě osobně dost dostal。Kresba je úchvatná, akorát bych si od Cyberpunku představovala trošku temnější a neonový nádech, tak, jak na mě působila hra, ne pastelové vykreslení。Krátký, avšak dějově zajímavý。 Trauma Tým je takový průměrný komiks z prostředí známé počítačové hry, který vám přinese zábavu na jedno odpoledne。 Nemusíte k němu mít ani dohranou hru, komiks na ni nijak nenavazuje, takže se nemusíte bát spoilerů nebo snad, že něco nepochopíte。 。。。more
Nom Chompsky,
I’m in what sounds like is a minority and loved Cyberpunk2077—hell, I played it on a refurbished first wave PS4 and had a great time—and I saw this pop up on my local shop’s page and figured I’d give it a go。 The writing is almost passable, but not quite。 The art is consistent, maybe a little too hazy sometimes for me, and maybe a bit generic in its paneling, but a great balance between the worn out matte world and the vibrant, intruding gushy night lighting of the genre-appropriate cityscape。 T I’m in what sounds like is a minority and loved Cyberpunk2077—hell, I played it on a refurbished first wave PS4 and had a great time—and I saw this pop up on my local shop’s page and figured I’d give it a go。 The writing is almost passable, but not quite。 The art is consistent, maybe a little too hazy sometimes for me, and maybe a bit generic in its paneling, but a great balance between the worn out matte world and the vibrant, intruding gushy night lighting of the genre-appropriate cityscape。 The iconography of the trauma team uniform does a lot of heavy lifting (it’d be great to get a maxtac comic too, honestly), and the jerk they’re hired to rescue is very cool design-wise, if not laughable as a mouth-piece; it’s not quite embarrassing dialogue, but it’s a little hokier than the genre demands (in fact, the CyberpunkRED manual and the original game’s books as well are all written with this electric and enthusiastic prose that serves a point), or perhaps in hokie in the wrong direction。 Pretty slim volume, felt like I paid a buck a page, but happy to have given this a read all and all。 The future imagined here isn’t a stretch: the world feels full of bad people, it’s hard to make a living (doubly so to do that successfully and feel morally sound in the execution), and people who suck still have power and wealth and sometimes (too often) we’re forced to work for those people。 If a book that dabbles with a bit of ptsd, cool art design, and lots of action sounds up your alley, then give this a look! 。。。more
Jennifer,
I received an eARC courtesy of Dark Horse Books via Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review。I am left feeling generally underwhelmed。 While the gritty artwork was amazing, the story was just very "meh"。 I am unfamiliar with the video game, so I don't know if coming at this with fresh eyes was good or bad。 But overall, this was a bit of a letdown。 I received an eARC courtesy of Dark Horse Books via Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review。I am left feeling generally underwhelmed。 While the gritty artwork was amazing, the story was just very "meh"。 I am unfamiliar with the video game, so I don't know if coming at this with fresh eyes was good or bad。 But overall, this was a bit of a letdown。 。。。more

*Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review。* This was an explosion of colours。 That coupled with the fast-paced action made it a little disorientating at times but it was still relatively easy to follow。 In fact, I liked the flashbacks interspersed with the action, it was smart and worked well。I was worried that because I hadn’t played the game and didn’t know anything about the world of Cyberpunk 2077 that I really was going to be lost *Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review。* This was an explosion of colours。 That coupled with the fast-paced action made it a little disorientating at times but it was still relatively easy to follow。 In fact, I liked the flashbacks interspersed with the action, it was smart and worked well。I was worried that because I hadn’t played the game and didn’t know anything about the world of Cyberpunk 2077 that I really was going to be lost reading this。 Thankfully, that wasn’t the case and this was just as easily accessible and understandable without prior knowledge of the world it’s set in as it would’ve been with。 The only thing I would admit I’m confused by was (view spoiler)[ how Nadia said she knew what the client was。 That was strange。 Was that some kind of hint to her knowing why he randomly decided to kill all her original team members? (hide spoiler)] I guess I’ll never know the answer to that。 And it’s not the only thing the comic was quite ambiguous about。 Which is a little annoying but also one of the comic’s strengths。The plot itself was great and the protagonist was wonderfully complex and intriguing。 My only gripe is that I’d have loved more。 This was packed with so much and the comic has already successfully managed to make me attached to the protagonist Nadia, so I’d really have loved to see what happened next for her。 。。。more

I haven't played through the entire game yet, but I decided to pick this up and give it a read because the game aesthetic was so cool。 I usually find Dark Horse to be a top publisher in terms of their stories and franchises they choose to engage, so with that mark of quality I picked up the individual issues。These four issues cover a short story involving a Trauma Team within the game universe。 Now, Trauma Team is not a major aspect of the game itself, instead their more of a medical service off I haven't played through the entire game yet, but I decided to pick this up and give it a read because the game aesthetic was so cool。 I usually find Dark Horse to be a top publisher in terms of their stories and franchises they choose to engage, so with that mark of quality I picked up the individual issues。These four issues cover a short story involving a Trauma Team within the game universe。 Now, Trauma Team is not a major aspect of the game itself, instead their more of a medical service offered within the game universe。。。 at least for those who can afford it。 The game universe every bit a capitalist dystopia in similar fashion to things like the Judge Dredd, Aliens universe, most of the books by William Gibson, Bladerunner and even the movie Fifth Element。 Now, Cyberpunk the game hearkens back to the 80's so it's one of the earlier builders of the whole Cyberpunk aesthetic。This also isn't the first comic book made for the Cyberpunk universe and there were a couple small series made in the 90's, but it doesn't look like that got much traction。 Fast forward to 2020 with Keanu Reeves signing on to have a part in a major video game production and we immediately get tie in stories!I had no idea what to really expect from this story and I was pleasantly surprised with the way Trauma Team played out。 This being a rather gritty future Trauma Team is, basically, a militarized ambulance service。 This follows the story of a Trauma Team operative named Nadia who was the sole survivor of her first team and convinces the company to keep her on。 This is the tale of that new mission with a new team。 Now, it's no secret that Cyberpunk is a gritty and violent universe, so expect a lot of action and quite the body count by the end of the story。 It's not necessarily a happy story, and if you've played the game you certainly won't expect that。 I think the way it was written was really good and I'm not sure I predicted every single turn of events, despite how much sci-fi I have consumed over my life。I don't think you need to play the game in order to read this comic series, however, it certainly helps。 You definitely get a deeper insight into the world if you've played the game, but I don't believe it is required。 The art and coloring is excellent。 They did a great job of reproducing the weird blend of bright and glittery with dark and gritty, which puts the game universe in this weird head space as you journey through it。I'm not sure if this will be the beginning of more series within this universe。 But if Dark Horse is producing material of this quality I look forward to checking out any other journey they take into this universe。 They tend to have good writers involved so we'll see where they go with this。 Either way way this is a good action packed four issue series that gives you a story about something that was only sort of seen from the side lines within the game。 。。。more

Absolutely phenomenal 4 issue long story about a medic of the Trauma Team and the emotional baggage that comes with said job。 If the premise sounds great, then yeah the writer gets a lot out it。 The trauma of one surviving member is explored pretty well and until the end, you do not know just how her mental state is。Nadia argueably can be a bit annoying sometimes, simply due to how she will phase out or put her team in danger but given what kinda situations she's dealing with。。 it felt justified Absolutely phenomenal 4 issue long story about a medic of the Trauma Team and the emotional baggage that comes with said job。 If the premise sounds great, then yeah the writer gets a lot out it。 The trauma of one surviving member is explored pretty well and until the end, you do not know just how her mental state is。Nadia argueably can be a bit annoying sometimes, simply due to how she will phase out or put her team in danger but given what kinda situations she's dealing with。。 it felt justified for the most part。 All in all she still makes for a solid protagonist and has a good design。Ending might be too openended for some but i felt that it suited the grim cyberpunk world。 Now let's talk art because the characters, backgrounds, colours & covers look freaking GORGEOUS。 I can not and do not want to describe this any other way。 Both the artist and colourist were on top of their game here。 Multiple times i just marveled at the beauty of these pages and especially some of those spreads。Whether you're looking for a short cyberpunk story or just like the universe of the pen & paper/videogame, this is well worth it。 。。。more
Beelzefuzz,
Mediocre。 It takes the seed premise of the movie Dredd and swaps cops for a for-pay medical team, while still being a metaphor for cops。 The logistics of the team are fuzzy and don't make much sense if you think about it。 The end is a bit disappointing, but some of the philosophical discussion raised in the first issue is interesting。 Mediocre。 It takes the seed premise of the movie Dredd and swaps cops for a for-pay medical team, while still being a metaphor for cops。 The logistics of the team are fuzzy and don't make much sense if you think about it。 The end is a bit disappointing, but some of the philosophical discussion raised in the first issue is interesting。 。。。more

Note: I haven’t got to play the game (yet! I’m definitely planning on getting it once it’s on sale and bugs are sorted out)。 This is only what I thought of the comic, I don’t know if there’s things in this that are any better or worse if you’ve played the game that this is a tie-in to。This comic book tie-in for a game that didn’t even come out when the first issue was released is way better than I would have expected。What’s it about?The year is 2077。 We follow Nadia, who’s part of a trauma team, Note: I haven’t got to play the game (yet!

Much better than I initially expected it to be。 The best Cullen Bunn work I've read in a long while。It's pretty much all action, and it is done well。 There's a bit of ghost/deceased-talking-to-main-character stuff, which is hokey and unnecessary from a storytelling perspective。The art is uniformly excellent。3。5 stars Much better than I initially expected it to be。 The best Cullen Bunn work I've read in a long while。It's pretty much all action, and it is done well。 There's a bit of ghost/deceased-talking-to-main-character stuff, which is hokey and unnecessary from a storytelling perspective。The art is uniformly excellent。3。5 stars 。。。more
