I don't quite know why I like OMAC so much, I think I've only read one of the Kirby stories (even then I may be thinking of something else, OMAC is Kirby isnt he?) and the Byrne miniseries from years ago, but I love the costume design and the name BROTHER EYE.

This superspy stuff I'm less sure of though.

Greg Rucka working with JESUS!

Oh I read what I think were my first Greg Rucka comics yesterday, they were OK!

I'm guessing it wasn't Wolverine, then?

I only skimmed the DC solicits for April - are they just going to use this Countdown nonsense to kick off a bunch of "important" mini-series to play out stories like this: "Spinning out of the events of March's DC Countdown, a reality-bending 6-issue miniseries. Ragman finds himself at the magical core of the DCU, where he finds himself aligned with an unlikely ally: The Enchantress! Together, they must face down a foe who has sworn to wipe out all magic...The Spectre!"

Good use of the work "crackerjack" in the OMAC pitch, though.

I'm quite keen on Ragman coming back too, it's 1991 all over again!

Yeah, but Marvel's bringing back Power Pack! In your face, DC!

(Rocket Racoon cannot be far behind)

I called "Power Pack" 6 months ago! Booyah!

(I apologize for the use of "booyah" in my previous post.)

Rucka, Batman, OMAC, Jesus, I'm fucking there.

(I read the first part of the first Q&C trade last night, very good--reading Ellis's introduction though, I got the impression that Rucka was British, which frightened me--not that I have anything against the British, just that nothing else I've read by him has any of what you might call "That British Flavour" [blood pudding], so I was like, um, anyway)

Rucka is not British, but he is very fond of British characters, and tends to think that the British spy thing is the way spy things should be done (ie with hundreds of years worth of resentment, double crossing and stiff upper lippy).

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 10:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I gathered Rucka is American by the "author's bio" caption at the back, because no British person would emigrate to Portland OR.

I made the possible error of reading the first issue of the Byrne OMAC series again - I had remembered the time travel shenanigans (which I am a sucker for) but not the uh "mature readers" aspect of the story whereby OMAC gets offered pliant nekkid women as his reward for fighting the baddies, blimey JB steady on!

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Every hero is offered at least one pliant nekkid woman in a Byrne comic. I know Superman was, and Reed Richard's wife dressed up as a bondage queen so that counts.

Next Men is chock full of concubine action.

John Byrne: not well in the head
