Kevin Kho is arrested and imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. There he is confronted by the mindaltering power of the former super-hero the Psi-Fi Man, whom Brother Eye considers one of its greatest threats. Meanwhile Sarge Steel and his Checkmate Elite, under orders from Max Lord, begin their hunt for O.M.A.C.
Conceptually, "O.M.A.C." seemed like it would feature a Spider-Man sort of hero where O.M.A.C. complicates Kevin Kho's personal life. That happens to a degree in this issue, but the focus is much more on delivering lots of superpowered brawling. Giffen's art is perfectly suited to that and the writing specifically enables that approach.

Not many superhero comics rely on fights like this anymore and it's a shame since it's so compelling and entertaining. Read Full Review
