Cyborg: Homecoming cover

Victor Stone returns to Detroit in Cyborg: Homecoming, seeking a simpler life while facing the challenges of technological advancements in his hometown.

In Cyborg: Homecoming, Victor Stone, known as Cyborg, returns to his hometown of Detroit due to a family emergency. This unexpected visit allows him to reconnect with his roots and experience a simpler life, where he is seen as Victor rather than just a superhero. The change of pace gives him the opportunity to lower his defenses, explore his identity, and seek a purpose beyond his life as Cyborg.

However, Victor soon discovers that Detroit has undergone significant changes in his absence. An aggressive corporation is transforming the city into a hub for advanced artificial intelligence, raising concerns about the implications of such rapid technological advancement. Victor understands all too well that while innovation can lead to progress, it often comes with a heavy cost to humanity. As he navigates the complexities of his dual identity, he must confront the ethical dilemmas posed by the new developments in his city.

Cyborg: Homecoming collects the first six issues of the series along with a special story from DC Power: A Celebration. This compilation not only showcases Victor's journey of self-discovery but also highlights the challenges he faces as he grapples with his responsibilities as a hero and the impact of technology on society. It is a tale of personal growth, community, and the quest for balance in a rapidly changing world.
