This time on the Couch: Mike and James dig deep into the Kirby well and fish out the underrated One-Man Army Corps himself, OMAC! That's right, OMAC: The cloud-computing, distopian superhero with the business-friendly mohawk who'll punch a hole in a train just to see where it's a-goin'. In the mid-70s Jack Kirby was frustrated with the Big Two's lack of vision, repeated cancellations of his projects, and general unwillingness to pay out the fat stacks of paper, but still managed to pump out a new and surprisingly prescient character in OMAC, the exciting new find of 1975! ...which was cancelled after 8 issues. Cough. Join the guys as they scorn a nation of unappreciative comic book readers for letting shit like that happen and try to figure out what exactly should be the age cutoff for an illegal body-swapping network. Plus, can they discuss Kirby at length without calling Stan Lee out for being a credit-stealing fraud? Well, no. No, they definitely can't do that and you were foolish to think otherwise.
