Omega: The Unknown Classic #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis trade paperback collects the complete 10-issue 1970s series Omega: The Unknown, a surreal and short-lived Marvel title co-created by Steve Gerber and Mary Skrenes. The story follows a mute, superpowered boy named James-Michael Starling and his connection to a mysterious alien being known as Omega, set against a backdrop of urban decay and corporate intrigue. While the collection features appearances by characters like the Hulk and Valkyrie, the narrative primarily focuses on its own offbeat cast and themes of isolation and identity.
"Omega the Unknown" delivers a pivotal moment in the Defenders' ongoing mystery, as they uncover the truth behind James-Michael Starling's mysterious connection to the enigmatic Omega. Written by Steven Grant and Mark Gruenwald, with dynamic art by Herb Trimpe and inks by Al Milgrom, Chic Stone, and Steve Mitchell, the issue deepens the cosmic intrigue while reshaping the balance of power among the team. The cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia captures the tension perfectly.
