Product Description:
With a nod to Jack Kirby's One Man Army Corps, The OMAC Project continues DC's inexorable path to Infinite Crisis.In addition to the OMAC Project miniseries, the trade paperback begins with the 80-page issue Countdown to Infinite Crisis, in which Ted Kord, the second Blue Beetle, investigates some financial troubles but discovers a huge plot to eliminate all "meta-humans" (that's superheroes to most of us).Attempts to involve the Justice League are unsuccessful, and with buddy Booster Gold unable to help, Kord sets out on his own. The OMAC Project might be the most engrossing of the four stages of the Prelude to Infinite Crisis.Like the rest, it can be confusing without encyclopedic knowledge of the DC Universe (and two of the interacting characters are almost indistinguishable from each other), but a background page on the key characters helps significantly. Written by (among others) Greg Rucka, with art by Jesus Saiz, Rags Morales, Cliff Richards, and others. Not included is the 2006 one-shot follow-up. --David Horiuchi

Batman is "the man", not the only "the man" in the DCU, but a "the man". He kind of goes nutty after coming to the realization in Identity Crisis that he had part of his mind wiped and builds a police state setup where an orbital AI satellite named "Brother Eye" basically watches over Gotham and himself. Brother Eye has the ability to direct the OMACs to help keep order in a way. Checkmate is an organization of assassin like characters run by Maxwell Lord that ends up trying to take over. Without ...

The genesis of this storyline was borne from the repercussions of the infamous mindwipe incident from Identity Crisis and the mistrust that arose in Batman towards his fellow superheroes, and specifically superior in power teammates, because of it. Brother eye was his creation and hopeful solution to the potential problem of metahumans out of control, a fear that is a common theme in comics, especially ones involving Superman. Unfortunately Batman's device, designed strictly along the lines of a vigilant ... Read More

but unfortunately isnt done justice when it comes to wrapping this all up in Infinite Crisis. I shouldve just stopped at this book and given it an ending in my head.

This was a very cool trade paperback/collection of comics. One of the top ten comics i've read and you don't have to read Infinite Crisis if you don't want to..
Rating:  -
Batman's desire to keep tabs on everyone and everything that could be a problem has caused a lot of problems. Max Lord and his own somewhat sentient creation and killer satellite have their own plans, which includes turning an army of normal people into killing machines to remove superhumans and others that they see as threats to their agenda.
Much carnage ensues.
