VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Gerard Way, Jonathan Rivera
(A/CA) Michael Avon Oeming
Cave Carson has done it all: survived countless adventures below the Earth's surface, met the love of his life, and gotten a cybernetic eye...somehow. After he and his wife, Eileen, sent their only daughter Chloe off to college, Cave was ready to become just another mundane member of the surface world. That is, until Eileen got sick. Newly widowed, Cave tries to piece his life back together when a knock on the door of his secret underground lab pulls him back into a past that he and Eileen thought they had left buried deep within the Earth. Adding to his troubles, Cave must determine if his recent hallucinations and visions are the work of his mind or his mysterious cybernetic eye. (Spoiler: It's the eye.) Written by Gerard Way (DOOM PATROL, Umbrella Academy) and Jon Rivera (Heartbreak), and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming (Powers), this is an absurdist action-adventure story unlike any other!

BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


Of all the Young Animal books, the was the one DC held closest to their chest when they spoke with comic stores back in April. There was genuine excitement, but it seemed to consist almost exclusively by repeating "You have to read Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye!!!". I'll admit that I'm a sucker for that level of vague enthusiasm, so this was the one I was most looking forward to. Let me be the first to recommend the book to you, and to do so with tamped down expectations.

Cave Carson is a character that goes back to DC's Silver Age. He's was the leader of the top team of spelunkers ever to chase after the alien unknown of the underneath. Consider him a serious Rusty Venture, or the head of Planetary Lite. He's retired now, but some things are happening in his life that has him questioning whether or not he's right in the head, and more importantly whether or not the cybernetic eye in his head is right.

It has some of the quirkyness of the best of Way's work. Michael Avon Oeming provides a cartoony style (pretty much his usual cartoony style) that presents the material without enhancing it, say the way the Ba/Moon combo on Umbrella Academy did. The best single thing about the issue is the last page, but I can't be a dog and ruin the surprise for you.


I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
