OMAC #1 - DC

OMAC is back. After all these years. He's been retooled and fit into modern continuity. There's only one left. But who is he? That's what this series is set out to answer. When we do finally find out who it is, Mickey Costner, we also find out that he's a teenage street thug and common criminal. But when he turns into OMAC, he has no recollection of what has happened, as his day starts out in what looks like Gotham, but he ends up in Las Vegas. On his way out there, as OMAC, he runs into Firestorm, who has a tussle with him, but then has to let him go so that he can fix up the Dam that they almost demolished. We also get a glimpse of the Alaska Norad Region (ANR) where what's left of the satellite, is apparently trying to rebuild itself. So this is just the tip of the iceberg. Bruce Jones is writting and Renato Guedes is on pencils. This should be a decent series as we really have nothing but a blank slate to start with. They explained a little about Brother Eye and OMAC during Infinite Crisis, but not so much that Bruce can't come up with some of his own unique twists and turns for us. I'm looking forward to see what happens next.
