Jul 10, 2019Overall, the issue was super packed with talented writers and artists making it a really great read that helped to put a bow on the epic summer event. If your a person that needs a sense of conclusion and have followed the war since day one, this issue will help with that. Read Full Review

Jul 10, 2019With four different mini-stories to read in one book, none stand out as much as Jason Aaron and Ron Garney's Daredevil and Heimdall story, which features Ol' Hornhead having an internal battle with his faith once more. Read Full Review

Jul 10, 2019War of the Realms: Omega is less of an epilogue to the event than I expected it to be, but it does nicely pick up on dangling threads from the story, either resolving them or putting them in place for spin-off titles. It's an anthology of trailers for forthcoming series, but it still manages to be a satisfying read on its own. Read Full Review

Jul 14, 2019War of the Realms Omega #1 accomplished what it set out do, which is to pique my interest in the upcoming Jane Foster, Loki, and Punisher comic book series that are spinning out of the event. The artists for these books are especially well-cast, and Cafu's beautiful take on Jane Foster's transformation from mortal to Valkyrie was the highlight of this entire one-shot. Also, Juan Ferreyra is such an underrated artist, and I'm excited to see his take on creative fantasy monster executions. Read Full Review

Sequential Planet - Steven Martinez
Jul 17, 2019War of the Realms Omega #1 shows us the fate of four characters after the War of the Realms is over. More of a launching point/teaser for new series releasing later in the year. The art and stories range from fine to good, but mostly this issue can be skipped without missing too much. Read Full Review

Jul 17, 2019The rushed script in Age of X-Man Omega #1 lends little context for upcoming X-Men stories and barely resolves the Age of X-Man crossover. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - John Jack
Jul 12, 2019Read this issue as a prologue to the upcoming stuff and it's good, but as an epilogue to War of the Realms it's about as welcome as getting grabbed on a city bus. If only there was some way to give the issue a good score but the story line a bad score. I'm also dinging the cover hard for the banner and having Malekith (who isn't even in the book) on it.

War of the Realms Omega deals with the aftermath of the War of the Realms and what comes next. Each story is beautifully drawn and this issue has convinced me to buy Loki, Valkyrie: Jane Foster, and Punisher Kill Krew when they come out. Also, who else is down for a Jason Aaron Daredevil series after Chip Zdarsky is done because Aaron's Daredevil story in this issue was fantastic

I'll be reading all three of the new series. Surprisingly, Valkyrie is the least interesting one to me despite having (arguably) the best writing team. But I'll be reading them all, as I said. The art for the Punisher story was my favorite.

This is an advertisement. A very well-written and well drawn advertisement, but still an advertisement.

A solid tie up issue that leads to the next chapter of a few storylines.

A sneak preview of what Jane Foster, Loki, and Punisher will be up to in the near future, nicely packaged in a frame story the congratulates and rewards Daredevil for his hard WotR work. It is just about the most enjoyable "coming attractions" reel I ever did see. Even the weakest bits are notably above average; the future looks bright for WotR spin-offs.

It's brief, but I dig the Daredevil segment. However, it's the Jane Foster segment that turn this into necessary reading if you want to continue following her in her new Valkyrie title. The Loki story is pretty cute and worth reading but the Punisher one didn't move me like it was supposed to. I used to love the Punisher but I guess I grew out of him or something.

Nothing but a preview issue. Wish I didn't buy this.
