I'm curious to know how you feel about the first issue. I could not stand the preview in Brave New World, last week! In fact, I've never read anything by Bruce Jones that I like.  |
wow... Bruce Jones is one of the few people I get anything they do... and lately it's all been things I'd never pick up normally (Warlord, Nightwing, Omac). All solid writing to me, but I don't really know the history of Omac, so I can't tell you if it lives up to any standards other than my own Bruce Jones ones... which are obviously quite different from yours |

This was a fantastic issue! To be honest, I was quite worried about reading this after the Brave New World issue. Jones is more "miss than hit" for me and the preview writing in BNW was easily a "miss." However, there was no question in my mind that Renato Guedes was the superior artist in the special. Especially loved his take on Superman.
Omac #1 has no wacky dream sequence. In fact, the preview to the series has no bearing at all. This is pretty straight forward. Guedes is going to be a name to remember. I am really blown away by his style. I loved the original OMAC series by Jack Kirby. Remains one of my favorite short runs that I own. I also liked Rucka's take on the OMAC Project in the prelude to Crisis series. This new series follows Rucka's run and the one-shot OMAC issue during IC, but it seems to pay tribute more closely to the original Kirby run where only a single OMAC exist. Rucka really made OMAC his own book. I think Jones is more in line of following Kirby rather than making it his own. A safe approach for a writer I have trouble with for the most part.
Really glad that I went ahead and read this. Look forward to the next issue.
Atom #1 was written quite well, but the Bryne art is really aweful. I don't think I'll keep on it.
