Disaster Year: 2008 Awards - Best Kirby Reprint: OMAC



Best Kirby Reprint: OMAC

Beating off stiff competition from the Fourth World Omnibuses, is Kirby's techno-terror take on Captain America: OMAC (One-Man Army Corps). Lasting only 8 issues, OMAC detailed the plight of Buddy Blank, a workhouse nobody mutated by blinking AI Brother Eye into a mohicaned war-god. His job? To UN the world with uncompromising piledriver blows! Cancelled mid-run by DC, OMAC disappeared in a blur of hastily reworked apocalypse. Collected in a handsome hardcover in May this year, OMAC was a Kirby-dot treat.
