OMAC #3, pg. 45

After gruesomely incinerating Hitler in a manner that would make Tarantino proud, OMAC and Brother Eye aren’t even done with their day. On his flight back to the states, Brother Eye informs OMAC that Buddy Blank had formed new memories during his time displacement, and those memory recordings need to be returned to OMAC for a full analysis. After which, OMAC immediately sets out to find his wife Molly. Also, I’m finally filling the large OMAC gap in my Byrne collection, with maybe a teeny overcompensation.

John Byrne’s OMAC prestige format miniseries is one of my all-time favorites, and with a little work, could be the basis for an insanely compelling DC summer blockbuster movie or even a streaming series. Personally, I’d cast a younger bigger Kyle Chandler—he’s got that classic slightly rougher face. You might remember him as 11’s dad in some of the semi-recent Godzilla movies, and it turns out DC just cast him as the new Hal Jordan. Another choice, having just seen images of Liam Hemsworth as the new Witcher, he looks like he’s got the size and could be aging in. I’m pretty limited on today’s actors, so who would you cast?
