Back from Kinokuniya
Bought two volumes today, the Starman Omnibus Vol. 1 and the OMAC: One Man Army Corps omnibuses. So far I haven’t been able to read much of them, but from what I’ve seen they contain a high level of awesomeness in unhealthy doses.
For instance, OMAC says: “I’m OMAC! Evacuate this section, I’m going to destroy it!” on his first appearance. No explanation, he just shows up and says this, with his daft looking haircut and blue outfit.
I mean who DOES THAT? I have never seen a comic book hero do that in my life. Not even Superman does that. Besides, he’s too polite. Perhaps I should read more to find out how OMAC got to that point in the story in the following pages.
As for the Starman Omnibus, there’s apparently going to be six of these hefty bricks to collect, which means it will cost me a pretty penny to find out what happens in the end. Oh well, the book is nice and the artwork doesn’t look like it was drawn as a webcomic, they actually tried with this one. And having looked through some of it I think they succeeded.
Having posted my current thoughts on the two tomes I will go to my bed and read them. Hope they stay fresh.
