Cybernary created by Jim Lee, Steve Gerber & Nick Manabat

History

Cybernary began as a backup story to Jim Lee's hugely successful run on Deathblow and offered great promise, but Manabat's work on the series was cut short with his untimely demise due to a longtime illness. The storyline was continued through various comic mini-series, first by Steve Gerber with art by Jeff Rebner and Richard Friend. On the post-Manabat series, Gerber remarked, "The artist, unfortunately, had no feel for the kind of cyber-civilization we were trying to portray. I admit, I lost interest a couple of issues into the series."

A second Cybernary, based on Yamiko Gamorra, herself, was created in a short story written by Tommy Yune for the Wildstorm Thunderbook that overlapped with some of the events of The Authority. The story was continued by Joe Harris for a six-part Cybernary 2.0 mini-series.
