Cyberforce #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCyberforce #12 (April 1995) serves as the narrative launchpad for one of the ongoing series' most ambitious arcs, simultaneously introducing Timmie 2007 — a future adult incarnation of the team's android companion — and the alien entity Izon, whose crashed spacecraft sets in motion a multi-issue conflict with the robot antagonists known as the Mekadom. The issue is notable for weaving a science-fiction time-travel premise into the Top Cow Universe, as Cyblade and Chip McNally are displaced to 15th-century France during the Hundred Years War, a storyline that pays off across the next several issues. As a chapter of the volume-two ongoing series, it reflects Top Cow's mid-1990s efforts to build a richer shared-universe mythology around Marc Silvestri's creator-owned characters beyond the superhero action that defined the title's early issues.
Cyberforce #12 (1995) delivers a high-octane blend of sci-fi intrigue and time-twisting action, with Marc Silvestri’s sharp storytelling and a powerhouse lineup of artists including David Finch, Michael Turner, and Batt on inks. As Dr. Corben and Chip face a rogue Cyberdata robot in their compound, chaos erupts—while Cyblade and Chip are pulled into a mysterious past during a mission in medieval France, confronting new threats and an unexpected temporal shift. The cover by Marc Silvestri and Matt Banning captures the issue’s escalating tension, all wrapped in a 1.95 USD (2.75 CAD) package from Image’s early era.

Cyberforce Vol. 2 was published by Top Cow Productions under the Image Comics banner, running 35 issues from November 1993 through September 1997. By issue #12, the series had moved away from Marc Silvestri as primary penciler, with David Finch and Michael Turner contributing art alongside Silvestri under the coordination of writer-editor David Wohl — reflecting the studio's rapid expansion of talent during this period. Eric Silvestri is credited as writer, with David Wohl serving as editor, a pairing that held across much of the volume-two run.
