"The writing is phenomenal. The main idea imo is about what separates good from evil, and if it's about your intentions or your actions. It's a very thought provoking book, and i related to a lot of the characters. I loved the sci-fi elements, and the action was great. The characterization was so complex. I mean seriously even the planets felt like they had personalities.
The art is stunning! I think it complements the story very well. It's similar to some image books. But also watchmen in terms of paneling.
This is honestly one of the best comics ever and it's very accessible, i'd highly recommend it to anyone."

Omega Men The End Is Here Tom King Barnaby Bagenda Books Reviews
- It took me a few weeks to slog through the first few issues. I was busy and distracted by other comics, but it still doesn't excuse Mr. King's failure to grab me in the early issues. The story gets better and better, as he slowly reveals the characters' motivations and the overall plot. Barnaby Bagenda's art is excellent, and the covers are truly exceptional (they are defaced propaganda posters).
Depending upon your perspective, the Omega Men are either terrorists or freedom fighters. It is excellent science fiction, as it can be easily applied to our 21st century world. The characters are interesting and well-fleshed out. The only returning character from the DC Universe is Kyle Raynor, who is handled as well as I've seen him used (and I've read ALL of Geoff John's Green Lantern run).
This is both going to reread well and age well. A strong compliment indeed. - Evoking Watchmen is maybe too much of a trope now when discussing a lofty piece of comic. I'm almost certain that I haven't done it in a review but it seems appropriate here.
The 9 panel structure is the easiest comparison but the story and characters is really what makes this book something more, something greater. I came into this book basically knowing nothing and I wouldn't want this review to take away from any of the elements of this book. Just know that the characters are fighting against an authority with Kyle Rayner coming in the middle to try to conjur up peace between the two sides.
This book is dark with no clear good and bad guys. The characters make justifications for their decisions and things don't go as planned. It's as thrilling as it is a look into humanity's thoughts and moral conundrums. - The writing is phenomenal. The main idea imo is about what separates good from evil, and if it's about your intentions or your actions. It's a very thought provoking book, and i related to a lot of the characters. I loved the sci-fi elements, and the action was great. The characterization was so complex. I mean seriously even the planets felt like they had personalities.
The art is stunning! I think it complements the story very well. It's similar to some image books. But also watchmen in terms of paneling.
This is honestly one of the best comics ever and it's very accessible, i'd highly recommend it to anyone. - Good, ambitious and interesting story. Good Art - however I found the bright color palette and visual style of the art, worked at cross-purposes to what is a very dark, drama, clearly intended to have parallels to the intractable, multi-sided, military, economic, religious and cultural conflicts plaguing the contemporary Middle East. A muted palette, more realistic drawing style, might have served the story better.
- One of the most thought-provoking and emotionally-compelling comic book or graphic novel I've ever read. Tom King is an exceptionally gifted writer with a unique voice and a true paragon of writers and authors in any medium. I'm looking forward to his future works. The Omega Men shines a nice light on Kyle Rayner, but even readers new to the Green Lantern Corps or even DC in general can dive right into this series. I hope he makes a follow-up to this series!
- Omega Men is an incredible read. Taking place in the far reaches of space, White Lantern Kyle Rayner is summoned to settle a dispute, but he is soon dragged into a war along with its all of its political machinations. Tom King's story and characters are all incredibly well fleshed out and the art by Barnaby Bagenda is a sight to behold especially his use of the 9 panel grid. Omega Men is certainly a modern classic.
- A masterwork of the modern graphic novel, Omega Men delivers in every way. We live in a post-Watchmen world. The graphic novel, complete and outside of the editorial demands of a shared universe rarely makes its way to the surface when it comes to the big two. The Omega Men is a shining example of what can be done when DC steps away, unconcerned with continuity, and let a true master storyteller have his way with their properties. The Omega Men is about fascism, terrorism, the war in the Middle East, genocide, religious corruption, faith, death, and owning the thing for which you choose to die. The scope of this work is so much wider than the usual big-two fare, I frequently forgot I was reading a DC book at all, until someone references Central City, or Kyle shows us his ring. The Omega Men is bigger than just a DC comic book. It is a stroke of genius, and a work of modern philosophical fiction, that should put Tom King firmly at the top of your writers to watch list.
- This was a really good book. I don't view it as a modern day Watchmen as I have heard it called, but it is still very good nonetheless. Tom King is one my personal favorite writers and he is always a great read. If you like your stories with something more than just the usual action, then you will enjoy this. This isn't for everybody, and I didn't find it as great as most people do, but it is still one of the best series to come out of the New 52 and worth your time and money.
