Sure, it seems safe to always meant to be a 6-issue miniseries, but I did just read OMAC yesterday, and Mark Evanier explains in the intro that someone else did the last panel (which is something the effect of "and then the energy rays backfired and the villain's lair blew up. Is this the end?!" when Kirby abruptly bailed for Marvel. So my skepticism is renewed, whether justified or not!Carl Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844566112033689884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-52318678567663817982011-05-21T23:58:40.520+12:002011-05-21T23:58:40.520+12:00I REALLY liked the ending for this one, dude.

It's a totally abrupt way to wrap things up, but I don't mind it - it's said everything it needs to say, and the final punch-up with the big enemy is absolutely unnecessary...Bob Temukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181473725170489213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394310461939093453.post-70925156236272787442011-05-21T10:20:01.392+12:002011-05-21T10:20:01.392+12:00Yes the tone and the art is great, and it's ce...Yes the tone and the art is great, and it's certainly better than all or most of the current TT Series (not saying much of course) but what the heck happened at the end there? Well, even calling it an end is generous, and in general there was some weird pacing, and lurching about between storylines or characters throughout. I wanted to like this comic a lot more than i actually did, but something about its composition was simply off.Carl Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844566112033689884noreply@blogger.com
