Thinking About Brian Stelfreeze’s ‘Day Men’ And The Reascension Of The Comic Book Artist On sale this week from BOOM! Studios is the first issue of Day Men, a new series that introduces readers to the human helping hands of the violent vampire elite who rule the world in secret. Written by Matt Gagnon (Freelancers) and Michael Alan Nelson (Supergirl), Day Men is a cool organized crime-tinged take on the enduringly popular vampire genre, but the major selling point for the series is that it marks the return to monthly comics of one of the American industry’s most talented but elusive artists: Brian Stelfreeze. Does the final product live up to the auspicious occasion? Yes and no, but that it exists at all might be more important. Brian Stelfreeze is perhaps best known to ComicsAlliance readers for his standout contributions to Wednesday Comics’ Catwoman/Demon serial, a gorgeous run of painted covers for the 1990s series Batman: Shadow of the Bat, and for writing, drawing and coloring Marvel’s Domino in 2003. Whatever was missing, BOOM! It’s a consequence of many factors.

OMAC (Buddy Blank) OMAC (Buddy Blank, the One-Man Army Corps) is a superhero comic book created in 1974 by Jack Kirby and published by DC Comics. The character was created towards the end of Kirby's contract with the publisher, following the cancellation of his New Gods series and was reportedly developed strictly due to Kirby needing to fill his contractual quota of 15 pages a week.[1][2] As envisioned by Kirby, OMAC is essentially Captain America set in the future, an idea Kirby had toyed with some years earlier while at Marvel Comics, but had never realized.[2] Set in the near future ("The World That's Coming"),[3] OMAC is a corporate nobody named Buddy Blank who is changed via a "computer-hormonal operation done by remote control" by an A.I. satellite called Brother Eye into the super-powered One-Man Army Corps (OMAC).[4] OMAC works for the Global Peace Agency (GPA), a group of faceless people who police the entire world using pacifistic weapons.

Top Shelf Productions Solomon Kane Solomon Kane is a fictional character created by the pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard. A late 16th/early 17th century Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms.
