Some thoughts about Omega Men #11

The Omega Men are about to go to war where nobody will win.

Kyle thinks that he can help everyone in his own way but the rest of his group are prepared for the worst and to take even more lives.

This series is reaching its conclusion and while it does offer some solid moments, it also shows some weak ones.

For one, Tom King manages to bring a lot of character moments in this chapter by focusing on all the members from the cast, their personalities and backgrounds. Most of these segments work nicely with each one of them showing how different they are from one another and their respective motivations (and also shows how unlikable some of them can be).

However, I still don't like the characterization for Kyle and that's mostly because of a single scene of him holding a cross in a pretty blatant way while he's flying (something he has never done in the past). Yes King, I get it, you wanted to make his Hispanic side more prominent and the only way you thought it was possible is by making him catholic (which is quite the stereotype by the way) but you don't need to be so blunt about it.

Also, there isn't a lot of content here. Is mostly yet another transition issue.

Barnaby Bagenda continues in pencils and his work is still pretty good with an unique style and storytelling skill.

Not bad but not particularly impressive and there are still things that bother me.
