Topic	Board 8 Comic Book Club #2: Where We All Have Issues
scarletspeed7 12/18/18 1:27:01 PM #59:	I thought about doing more Astro City this week, but instead I changed my mind. For week 10, we're going to the opposite side of the cosmos and hitting up the DC Universe's space-based fare. We'll be reading The Omega Men #1-12, a self-contained mini-series featuring the talents of Tom King, currently one of the hottest writers in the DC stable. He's probably best known for his work on Mister Miracle and of course Batman, but his first real rise in profile at DC came with this tale of the Vegans. And I don't mean people who refuse to eat meat. In the star system of Vega, there is a ragtag group of rebels fighting an evil Empire. And when good ol' Green Lantern Kyle Rayner tries to step in and end the civil strife, he's left without a ring and without a way home. Kyle is inserted forcefully into said rebellion, and hijinks pursue from there. I think this is a great mini-series, and it's completely different from what you get on the Marvel side, so it should be a lot of fun for all of us to read together! Next week is Christmas week, so I'll be doing a few really short Christmas stories (including one of the first comics I ever bought with my own money!) so if you need a week to jump back in, that will be a great one. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
