Usually when modern creators take on a Jack Kirby concept they can't execute it because they won't do what Kirby did. Which is, for better and worse, just go so far over the top that people will wonder if you are doing drugs. This version of OMAC has very loose ties to Kirby's original creation, but strong ties to the over the top action and fun that Kirby was capable of at his best. Instead of being a One Man Army Corps dedicated to the goals of the Global Peace Agency and teamed with the orbit...

Kevin Kho is OMAC (which stands for One Machine Attack Construct) basically a blue Hulk wearing armour from "Fear Itself" with a tropical fish tail mohawk.Once again this is a "New 52" title that fails to introduce a character to a new readership, as well as failing to do anything new with the character and ultimately falling on its face in trying to do anything at all. And it's disappointing, not least because OMAC is an interesting character, one of the few DC has which allows them to go cosmi...

Short version, it was an okay attempt at emulating Jack Kirby.As a Jack Kirby tribute I guess I should call it... the few things they got right were it's seemingly constant need to keep this story sounding current, it's constant introduction of new things ( whether the story needed them or not), and Brother eye using eye instead of I when talking.Things they got wrong however ( at least in my eyes ) were that the lines on the art were too thin, and it wasn't ambitious enough.Aside from some swea...

DCs attempt at a Hulk like character. This obvious unoriginality mixed with a bad storyline made this book stink. The 50s style art didn't help it any. Wtf was with the mohawk???

*Lots of reading + no time review = Knee-jerk reactions!* I'm on a kick of reading "lesser known" heroes at the moment. I stumbled upon this and thought, "Why not?" While it's not poorly written or drawn by any means, it just doesn't have any particular "wow" factor. The best way to describe it: Perfectly fine. I feel like the writers were having fun with it, and that shines through, but the overall comic... Well, as far as I know there's not a volume 2, and that's not really a loss. If you're l...

Meh.

Thank goodness that they deactivated this awful book before it could rot my brain even more.

Great attempt at staying true to Kirby. Not much of a story, but plenty of action. Omac is just fighting Superman for whatever reason at the start of an issue and then is transported to help humanoid animals save their king from a torture laboratory underneath a merry go round. This comic isn't concerned with the story, don't listen to people who have been brainwashed into worshipping plot, themes, characters. They are pigs.

Hulk ripoff and a Blue Beetle clone all rolled in to one. I'm surprised it ever got published let alone lasted 8 issues. and if ANYONE can tell me why he spent an entire issue in a random zoo with anthropomorphic animals...

Here's yet another title that DC Comics launched with the New 52 initiative. This one tells the story of some poor schmuck who somehow gets transformed into a "One Man Army Corps" creature. He's also inexplicably under the control of a rogue satellite with AI level intelligence. When OMAC "activates", he turns into the creature, smashes things near him, and destroys enemies.This O.M.A.C. series didn't make it past the first eight issues.

not the kings work !!!

O.M.A.C. is basically DC’s answer to the Incredible Hulk: he’s big, he’s not real bright, and he likes to smash things while grunting angrily. He’s blue instead of green, and is imbued with some kind of robo-tech instead of gamma rays, but the shoe definitely fits.Based on the Jack Kirby character of the same name, O.M.A.C. is at its best when emulating the Kirby style. The series definitely pays tribute to its creator with the artwork and its somewhat campy tone, and has some wild villains that...

I have hated all of the New 52 I have read, with the exception of WONDER WOMAN. I picked this up because I have always been a huge Giffen/ LEGION fan, and so I wanted to see what he did here. The problem with this book is that it is too rooted in Kirby riffs. Rather than coming up with something new, we get a rehash of concepts that have been kicking around for the last 20-30 years, making it not-so-new at all. The other problem is that this is an inaccessible book unless you've been reading com...

Best book of DC's NEW 52 so far. The new series have mostly been a bit disappointing but this one's terrific. If you're a fan of Jack Kirby, you have to read this book. It's the best modern treatment of Kirbyness I've ever seen. Keith Giffin's art's never looked better and the lighthearted slam bang stories are a hoot. Maybe not as out there as Kirby's OMAC, but it's close. It's a perfect reboot.

You read some utter bullshit being a comic book nerd. It comes with the teritory, only so many people can write quality stories about men in tights beating the crap out of each other. That's fine, I don't mind skim reading the occasional daft superhero soap opera bollocks to try and find the few great stories.OMAC is beyond that though, this a new level of trash fiction. I can not find a single redeeming quality in this steaming pile of shit. Boring characters, laughable dialogue, nonsensical pl...

This is the 48th of the original 52 series released under the New 52 banner that I've started on. I expected this book to be complete rubbish. Going into the book with that attitude, I ended up being mildly surprised since it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Part of the reason I didn't expect much from this series is because it was written by Dan DiDio, who has mainly been in upper management at DC and has written very few comics in his career. Another reason I didn't think this would be

meet Mokkari and Simyan: these delightful gents are two of my favorite obscure supporting characters in the DC universe. they are half-brothers, brilliant scientists, and the often-disguised leaders of The Evil Factory - a literally underground parallel to the world-renown Cadmus Project. both agencies are interested in genetic manipulation; Mokkari and Simyan are interested in doing terrible things with their experiments, which makes sense because they are wicked and serve Darkseid and they

This one almost ended up in my "did not finish" category. So poorly written, and Giffen's artwork was a poor imitation of Jack Kirby, the creator of OMAC. Having been the writer of Justice League International, Giffen had plenty of opportunity to see Maxwell Lord being drawn by J.M. DeMatteis, but Lord looks like something completely inhuman in this book. The appearance of all the New Gods characters just serves to remind us that this is Giffen's homage to Kirby; but it's a poor imitation.

Keith Giffen and Dan Didio are both better writers than this. It's very "meh". It's obvious that if you are writing 52 books a month, some will get thrown together. That being said, it's not the worst thing I've read, but it felt unfocused and meandering, and the art left everyone's faces looking squished. I wish I could be more positive about it.
