Spinning out of COUNTDOWN TO INFINITE CRISIS, the OMAC project is underway and Max Lord commands the board as king of Checkmate! The other heroes begin a search for Ted Kord as Batman attempts to figure out who now controls Brother Eye.
Tying in to Infinite Crisis, which in turn ties in to nearly every DC book for the rest of the year, OMAC Project is bound to attract a good number of readers. But who will enjoy it? Written by Greg Rucka of Gotham Central fame, this reads like a Batman comic. Certainly, Batman will play a significant role, as will his ex-lady friend Sasha Bordeaux. But with the prominence of characters like Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, and Maxwell Lord, fans of the Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire Justice League also have reason to take an interest, and they might not be happy with what they find. Beetle dead, Max a monster, and Booster just a loser, there just arent a lot of laughs to be had. The characters, though, are well-written and in-character, so the readers who might be most angered also have the most to gain by reading. All this makes The OMAC Project a tough book to pin, but it should be a wild summer. Read Full Review
Super intriguing first issue. Great art as well.
I abandoned my Comic habit not too long after this issue’s original publication due to poorness and school so I am rectifying that years later thanks to DC universe and I am so far enjoying this as much as I recall!
