The wait is finally over. The Omen Comic #2 is here, and once again, delivers an excellent book to their fans. There are 46 nail-biting pages inside the book. This edition delves deeper into mythology. Michael Nunneley does well at mixing different myths into one fascinating story.
In this second issue of the ongoing series, we learn the fate of Frank Wade so far, and we learn more about the Omen Armor. The armor may call to mind X-O Manowar Armor [Valiant Comics], more than say Iron Man's armor. I must say I was glad to see Omen in battle. For me, it brought images of Deadpool or Deathstroke donning mystical armor; which was gratifying.
The story dawdled at times, but not to the point of monotony. Again, I classify it as a nail-biter that kept me on the edge of my seat. Further, as a horror movie and comic fan, the horror elements were wonderfully done. Mr. Tosin deserves a big pat on the back for using brighter colors instead of muted and dark colors in his artwork. Heavy use of blue still sets the mood well for scenes of horror.
Within the frames, some images were not level. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it gave me a feeling that the world was out of balance. A Fun House Effect if you want to call it that. I continue to be impressed with Mr. Tosin's use of colors to tell the story within the frames. Color symbolism properly used.
A couple of times could have better used the word and thought bubbles. However, it did not affect the story at all.
One subtle visual cue or possible Easter Egg to look for is Six Triangles {Six Pointed Star} that symbolizes the "Land of Spirits." Also, be on the lookout for the name of a particular Loa as well.
Overall, I am impressed with this issue and give it 4 out of 5 stars.
