6. OMAC

OMAC had the shortest run of any book on this list, but its overall quality cements it here on this list. Say what you will about Dan Didio's editorial decisions, but pair that dude with Keith Giffen and they will make some good comics.

OMAC follows Kevin Kho, a young man unwillingly transformed into the One Man Army Corp by evil satellite Brother Eye in its war against covert ops organization Checkmate.

The series is a loving homage to all things Jack Kirby, and it shows. Keith Giffen draws some sweet Kirby Crackle, and bringing back weird Kirby concepts like the Build-A-Friends is not unwelcome. It's legitimately depressing that this series didn't last longer, especially when DC would take chances on much worse ideas later on. Also, the practice of naming each issue a word incorporating the OMAC acronym is incredibly charming.

Kho has popped up in the comics a couple of times since, but I can only hope we see more of him soon. "˜Til then, OMACTIVATE!!!!!
