The third volume of CyberRad consists of two critical issues that carry the protagonist directly into the heart of the Deathwatch 2000 crossover saga. Published by Continuity Comics, this series shifts the focus from Rad’s personal origins toward his role as a key player in a cosmic-level conflict. The story, written by Peter Stone and Neal Adams, intertwines Rad’s cybernetic journey with the mystical and temporal elements of the broader Continuity Universe.
These issues are notable for their collaborative artwork between Richard Bennett and Neal Adams, maintaining the high-intensity, muscular visual style that defined the publisher. The narrative explores high-stakes rescue missions and temporal anomalies, forcing the young hero to grow beyond his amnesiac roots.
