Description

Before the end, all technology was locked away for safekeeping in a place deep underground. This place is known as the Cyber Realm. The only known entrance is safeguarded by The Master where he and his minions control all of the power within and use that technology to oppress what is left of the human race. Due to the massive gap in technology, those who are without it are helpless. That is, until now. Follow Nicolas as he attempts a desperate and seemingly impossible mission to make things right.

Reviews

Cyber Realm is a very good, fun read that pithily examines gaming tropes, and slots smartly into the ongoing discussion about the medium's audiences and the treatment of disparate demographics.
--The AV Club

McDonald's humorous, energetic style fully immerses the reader in the action. [...] reminiscent of '80s sci-fi classics like The Terminator or Alien [...]
--Paste Magazine

Wren's work is character-driven but he considers the entire scene, and designs compositions in limited colors that enhance each narrative.
--Cartoon Brew

I enjoyed the fact that it told me what had happened to the world without actually telling me. Strong visual storytellers can do that and that's the case with Cyber Realm. [...] It was the culmination of several worlds of influence coming together and working really well together.
--Comic Bastards

Perhaps Cyber Realm is, in its way, the prophecy of the bermensch, but more likely, it's just a damn fine comic book that's fun to read and leaves you wanting to read more.
--Comics Bulletin

The short graphic story, CYBER REALM, is very action packed with tons of irony. [...] Thanks to a light whimsical touch from McDonald, this heavy-duty tale does not get too dark and moves along quite nicely.
