In the astounding climax of the saga of Omega versus the robot horde, a battle extraordinaire which will leave all our heroes changed, and one of them really and truly dead. The greatest rooftop performance since the Beatles' "Let It Be".
If you've missed this series for whatever reason, I implore you to check it out when the collected edition premieres. If you're willing to embrace the surreal implications of the superhero genre, I think you'll find a lot to love here. Read Full Review
