Omega Men #5 - DC


This series is about to wrap up. And it's going to go out with a bang. Lianna, the Blue nun has killed Lady Styx. But in comics, and especially in aliens, things are never quite as they seem. After killing her, in trying to obtain the the Heartstone, she has released Tigorr and . . . . . Felicity, Tigorr's wife. Now whether she was there intentionally, or Tigorr brought her there through his beliefs, I don't know, but by pulling them out of the Lady's consciousness, the Heartstone has imbued itself with Felicity, whom now calls herself Nimbus. Also, V'ril Dox's silicon computer, Silica, has now come to life, or obtained sentience. Anyways it's obsessed with finding V'ril Dox, and professing her love to him. She has also become imbued with one of the Heartstones. Well when the 3 of them come together, Silica, Lianna and Felicity, er. Nimbus, all hell hits the fan. First Silica and Nimbus release Dox from the darkness, which is where he and Lady Styx, her essence really, have been hiding. Silica immediately professes her love for Dox, but he rejects her. Which sends her into a rage, and making decisions she shouldn't, is controlled by Lady Styx in bringing the 3 of them together to form her new body out of all of her followers. And the 3 of them, with their heartstones, give her the power. On the final page, as they're watching the Lady's resurrection, Tigorr says to Dox, " . . . next time one of your computers comes to life with the power to destroy reality . . . . just tell the bitch you love her." Awesome mini series, and what a cool way to bring our characters back. Not sure who will be left of the team, when all is said and done. But I'm sure they'll form a new one around the base characters they have left. And does this herald the return of Dox and the LEGION? Like I said, next issue is the last issue, and then we'll have to see where we go from there.
