I’m singling this issue out for a special mention this week, mainly just as an excuse to talk about O.M.A.C., before the series’ last issue next month. I think for most people, most of the announced cancellations weren’t too much of a surprise, and we’re definitely getting some cool books in to replace them (Earth 2 and Batman INC have me real excited), but still I’m sad to see O.M.A.C. go.

I’ve read on message boards and in other reviews that people aren’t really into the character of Kevin Kho – and I admit he hasn’t done a huge amount for me, but I don’t really care, I’m having such a good time with the old Kirby-esque O.M.A.C. character. And speaking of Kirby-esque I’ve really been enjoying Keith Giffen’s art on this series, it’s definitely a style that always appeals to me.

So onto this issue, and O.M.A.C. is brawling with a slightly strange looking Superman. He runs into a little trouble and has brother eye transport him out of the action. A now disabled Kevin Kho ends up in the middle of a zoo surrounded by talking animals, of course. At first, they don’t trust the human, but eventually it’s up to O.M.A.C. to save the day for these creatures, and the result is a fun, action filled adventure, nicely contained within the issue.

It’s more colourful than stylish, more fun than intense, and I continue to enjoy myself reading this book, and I hope the character sticks around after his cancellation.

I’m not sure when/if a trade paperback collecting all eight is going to be released but I recommend picking it up.
