4. Omega Men

Holy hell, Tom King knows how to write a deconstruction. He and the unmatchable Barnaby Bagenda produced the definitive Omega Men book together.

In Omega Men, a group of intergalactic terrorists tried to free the Vegan star system from tyranny. Kyle Rayner, aka the White Lantern, was dispatched to make peace, but the Omega Men captured and executed him"¦but not really. No, they kept him, and tried to show him the horrors they were fighting against.

Tom King’s background was in counter-terrorism, and it clearly informed his work here. The book is a very gray depiction of people’s reasons for turning to violence and how it leads them down a certain path. It's not an uplifting read, that's for certain.

I feel like a lot of people missed this one, but if you're enjoying King's Mister Miracle, this is one that you definitely need to read.

Got some of those good good nine-panel grids.
