I genuinely only picked this comic up from the library because it had the word omega in it. I don’t know what volume or edition this is but I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Will say even when reading this blind, I was still able to pick up on a lot of complexities woven throughout the plot. It’d probably would of make sense if I didn’t read this one first.

One pro of the story was definitely showcasing Kalista’s true intentions with Kyle and seeing Kyle pick up on it—seeing both sides of it. That and having it not be such a happy ever after for the omega men after the events of the war. But I don’t really understand Kyle’s response to the general he’s speaking to at the end. ( )

It has a rough start as it lacks in world building and complex characters, but once Tom King lets us inside the emotion of the conflict and its great complexity, it's where it shines the most. ( )

Kind of mixed feelings about this at the end. I think this might be too much of a slow burner for its own good - by the time that things really get going, they're already over. The denouement feels less like a thoughtful commentary on violence begetting violence and more like a cheap gotcha. Overall, it's still pretty good - the art in this is truly incredible, and I wish more of the Green-Lantern-adjacent books looked like this - but there are other works by King that are better. ( )

IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD ( )
