The OMAC Project #5

With only one issue left in this six-part 2005 DC miniseries, the penultimate chapter arrives with a cover by José Ladrönn that crackles with tension: an OMAC unit — sleek, dark, and glowing with that unmistakable red eye — bursts through a chessboard scattered with broken pieces, all against a backdrop of cascading binary code. The tagline "Pawn No More" says it all, framing this armored figure not as someone else's game piece but as a force breaking free of the board entirely. Written by Greg Rucka with art from Jesús Saiz and Cliff Richards, this is a penultimate chapter that promises the stakes are as high as they get.
