This is our second issue set entirely in space. Omni-Man and Allen the Alien continue to recruit/acquire weapons to fight off the Viltrumite Empire. I really dig the new Space Ranger character, he seems like he could be a lot of fun. Kirkman also gives us a little background on fan-favorite Battle Beast; the Beast is a hero on his homeworld. He established a utopia there, but he became addicted to high-powered combat, explaining his adrenaline-junkie personality. Neat! Kirkman gives us an interesting scene with the resistance sending spacecraft out to pick up some of the monsters Omni-Man remembers from his travels. In an amusing twist, the ship's crew awakens the creatures too early, setting up a rage from O-M. I like that the crew are so stupid that they'd risk ticking off such a powerful ally. With that type of carelessness, can they really beat the Viltrumites?I can't help but laugh at the running gag at Allen's apartment. Since he's been gone so long, he and his girlfriend are... busy getting reacquainted. But since Allen is such a nice guy, he wants Omni-Man to get to stay in a homey place, so O-M is sleeping on the couch. Overhearing everything. Awesome.
Cory Walker's art fits, of course, he started out on this title. But I miss Ryan Ottley's sharper line work. Not that Walker is bad, but he's just not as sharp as Ottley.
Good
