OMAC #7 - DC

Ok, when Bruce Jones introduced the whole thing about Brother Eye controlling Mike Costner's perception, it kind of muddled the whole thing for me. We start out this book with some low level thugs in Gotham. Batman of course takes them down, but the irony comes in that the "ring leader" has a new partner. The reason Batman knows that is because the last time he busted 'em, he was beating up his partner when a laser beam came down and incinerated him. Well Superman shows up at the last second, because he has some things he needs to discuss with Batman. He wants to compare notes with Batman on the OMAC sightings out in Nevada. It confirms what Batman thought, but was hoping wasn't true, that the thug was taken out by a laser from Brother Eye. So that's when Superman decides he's going up to look for it. And this is where it gets muddled. Mike is sitting in a jail because of what happened with him and Vienna and the police last issue. But, what he thought happened, didn't really happen. It actually just all played out in his head, courtesy of Brother Eye. So now he's sitting in his cell, kind of catatonic from what Brother Eye did to him, and he sees Superman. He carries on a whole conversation with him, even though he knows he can't be real. Superman confirms his suspicions that he has infected Vienna, 2 ways. With the OMAC virus, and she's pregnant. He also shows Mike a vision of Brother Eye taking out all the super-heroes, and then destroying the planet. Supposedly Superman is doing this from inside Brother Eye, because when he went in to investigate, he became trapped because of some Kryptonian technology. But what if it's really Brother Eye giving him these visions? And if so, why? Well, before we can find out anything else, Vienna attacks him in his cell, in her OMAC transformation. There's only 1 issue left, so hopefully this will all be cleared up then. But somehow I doubt that's going to happen. I mean, we went through the whole crisis thing, and Brother Eye's still around. I don't think the events here are going to be taking him out either. I think Brother Eye, and the OMAC's are going to be around to bother us for quite a while to come.
