Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: 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 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.

![]() Rating: - The Lead Up To Infinite CrisisI haven't read the other tie in books to countdown to infinite crisis but they actually seem like tie ins to this event. This book has the main part of the other story where Superman and Wonder Woman fight. They mention the other books like the war with thangar and the society of villains but they aren't expanded on. I enjoyed the book a lot and my only real problem with it is that I don't understand why Batman was keeping track of the other heroes, even though I don't know a lot about him I really ... Read More Rating: - I thoroughly enjoyed this oneBatman 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 ... Read More Rating: - Aftermath of Identity CrisisThe 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 ...

I shouldve just stopped at this book and given it an ending in my head. Rating: - The OMAC Project- Countdown to Infinite Crisis SeriesThis 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..
