June 5, 2013 9:51 pm It came together a little more for me this time. I think they finally backed up some of the concepts they had introduced in previous issues and didn't really introduce too much new stuff which was the problem with the first couple issues in my opinion. A solid 4/5 for me this time.

June 3, 2013 10:06 pm There's the batch of little kids too, but they're missing one, which they seem pissed about. I can't figure out if they are the same as the older ones but from the past, or new ones because the older ones haven't finished yet. Then the whole religion side of things is still a fairly large question mark. I'd compare it to drinking from a firehose but the information isn't in a consistent enough context to make much sense as a whole. HIckman throws a lot at the reader in Manhattan Projects but the way he diced the information up in the individual issues made it easier to digest. This feels more like when my sister-in-law walks into the room while me and my brother are watching a random episode of Game of Thrones.

June 3, 2013 9:38 pm I really hope this starts making sense to me. I get my fill of being totally confused when Prophet comes out (though I think I may have finally pieced some things together there).

June 3, 2013 9:31 pm Really?! I thought this was that Omega #6 was the last one. I imagine either way this is going to be the conclusion and the next couple will be pick up the pieces type issues.

May 29, 2013 1:42 am @sitara: I hadn't thought of that but now that you've brought it up that is really our best case scenario.

May 21, 2013 1:04 am GAH! Guy Davis. Whoops.

May 21, 2013 1:03 am Yeah I always look forward to it. To me it is in the same boat as BPRD when Arcudi was the regular artist. Not loud, or brash but just so dang well executed that I almost never come away thinking anything other than "When does the next one come out?" Also Sons of the Gun have been awesome as well. Those guys were fascinating and I'm glad we get to see more of them. I felt they got killed off so fast. No other book cycles through awesome bad guys like this one.
