Sorry you didn't like OMAC, I really enjoyed its fun, old-school flavor - definitely sticking with it.
ReplyDeleteReally didn't enjoy MEN OF WAR though ... can't quite put my finger on why, just fell very flat.
Also going to stick with Stormwatch because Paul Cornell usually comes good in the end. First issue wasn't great though, so can see why you'd drop it.
Totally agree with you on Static Shock, such a shame too, the character has a lot of potential but it came across as another generic teem-hero tale, and I've read enough of those.
I was so bummed about Green Arrow too... it was so bland... ugh.
