OMAC, issue eight, was a bittersweet ending to what was an otherwise superb exercise of off-the-wall fun. Anyone previously not reading OMAC could pick this issue up and know, in a nutshell, the story of Kevin Kho and his unwitting journey from man to OMAC.
What elevated this issue above the previous seven, was the decision by Dan Didio and Keith Giffen to juxtapose Kevin's origin and life story with that of OMAC's final battle alongside Brother Eye. Every word was perfectly chosen in the story, but only bettered by the visuals, in bringing to the reader the internal battle Kevin has fought his entire life.
Which brings me to the highlight of what I have enjoyed most about OMAC.
Giffen's nod to Jack Kirby throughout this entire run has been fantastic. From the smallest details of the mundane office environments at Cadmus Industries to the two-page splash of OMAC-induced destruction, Giffen brought his A-game. As we now know, Giffen's homage to Kirby didn't stop with the art, but is fully realized by ending this series, like the original, at issue eight.
As a reader of OMAC, I will miss the monthly mayhem of excitement but, like our hero in the final panel, I too must move forward and find new adventures.
