TJ Dietsch reviews Jack Kirby's OMAC. I bought the first issue off the newsstand in 1974, and the story, about suicide-bomber sex-robots, blew my mind. DC recently released an anthology of all 8 issues of the short-lived series. Which brings us to Buddy Blank, a regular dude who works for Build-A-Friend until he’s selected by the faceless Peace Agency to become the One Man Army Corps....

What’s Wrong with DC? (Comics And...)
