What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

God Complex (2017) is a great comic. My only complaint is it was cancelled after 6 issues. But at least they've released the whole thing as a single volume to make it easy to read.

The series takes place in a cyberpunk city where the Greek Gods are real and they're the only ones who can access cyberspace. And they all look like futuristic cyborgs, for whatever reason.

The main character is a down-on-his-luck detective investigating a series of murders that seem to be linked to a new cult. This heretic cult claims to worship one single God and The Rulers (Greek Gods) want to put a stop to it. So the detective's murder investigation captures the attention of The Rulers and they get involved. I don't want to say the last issue ends on a cliffhanger, but it definitely ends on a big reveal.

You can read the entire first issue here.
