Cave Carson is still trying to get over the death of his wife and continue with his life which is going to get even more complicated once that his new Cybernetic Eye starts playing with his mind.
"Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye" is a pretty self-explanatory title and while the premise centers around it, is also about much more.
Gerard Way continues with his Young Animal line, this time accompanied by Jon Rivera as a co-writer, to offer a completely new story about a completely new character. The writers immediately jump straight into Cave's life and how the passing of his wife affected him and the people around him. The characterization is pretty solid thanks to good interactions and storytelling that tell the basic aspects of the protagonist without creating overexposition and leave enough to the imagination to figure out more things.
The story is also connected to the rest of the DCU based on the appearances of Doc Magnus and the Metal Men while the last page tease the appearance of a pretty obscure character that I'm quite happy to see.
The best thing about this for me is that, unlike Doom Patrol and Shade: The Changing Girl, this is the first title from the line that seems much more focused being able to concentrate on the character itself while also creating its own bizarre moments without overdoing them. Is a nice balance.
Michael Avon Oeming handles the artwork here and is pretty solid with a semi-cartoony style that provides lots of creativity in the panels and overall storytelling.
There's a second story focusing on Gotham written and drawn by Tom Scioli and is quite different from the main one all right. The writing and art are quite distinctive, especially the latter which provides a quite interesting look that you don't usually in comics these days.
Solid stuff overall, hope it continues this way.
