Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #5 - Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. Vs. O.M.A.C. by starkiller809 on January 11, 2012

I haven't read OMAC #5 but from what I heard is that you won't need to read it in order to understand what is going on in this book.

It was actually quite intriguing to have this issue's framing device be a personal sidequest for our hero, rather than a standard mission. We actually get a little look into this stoic's mind.As for the main part of this issue, it's a rehashing of the O.M.A.C. part of this ...
