| PLOT:It's Halloween 1955 and the town of Hidalgo Falls, New Mexico is about to receive a real scare - an invasion by aliens. It seems Roswell wasn't enough. Now it's Hidaglo's turn to be the ultimate alien truck stop. It must be the dry air and year-round golf that attracts so many aliens to this southwest state. It's up to a very odd team of humans to tie a knot in the alien's collective butts. You've got a "been there, done that" former Air Force Lieutenant, a biker with a sandpaper soul, a curvy, nervy female reporter and a six-year old boy that wants to be the next John Wayne. It makes you wonder why the aliens haven't already cut bait and ran! Take a step back into the days when sci-fi adventures had low-tech solutions and high-octane adventure. | ||||||||

Comic books and TPBs | The OMAC Project (Countdown to Infinite Crisis) | Greg Rucka; Geoff Johns; Judd Winick; Jesus Saiz; Cliff Richards; Saiz, Jesu´s | 2005 | DC Comics | Paperback | $8.00 | |
| PLOT:With a nod to Jack Kirby's One Man Army Corps, The OMAC Project continues DC's inexorable path to Infinite Crisis.In addition to the OMAC Project miniseries, the trade paperback begins with the 80-page issue Countdown to Infinite Crisis, in which Ted Kord, the second Blue Beetle, investigates some financial troubles but discovers a huge plot to eliminate all "meta-humans" (that's superheroes to most of us).Attempts to involve the Justice League are unsuccessful, and with buddy Booster Gold unable to help, Kord sets out on his own. The OMAC Project might be the most engrossing of the four stages of the Prelude to Infinite Crisis.Like the rest, it can be confusing without encyclopedic knowledge of the DC Universe (and two of the interacting characters are almost indistinguishable from each other), but a background page on the key characters helps significantly. Written by (among others) Greg Rucka, with art by Jesus Saiz, Rags Morales, Cliff Richards, and others. Not included is the 2006 one-shot follow-up. --David Horiuchi | ||||||||

| PLOT:Responding to the concerns Americans feel for their safety, their value systems, and their children's future, Newt Gingrich calls for a return to mainstream American civilization and the basic principles upon which our country was founded.

He also delivers practical approaches to issues as diverse as bilingualism, illegal immigration, multiculturalism, and health care. For months, worldwide media attention has swirled around Speaker Gingrich as he has reawakened American political debate.
