An action-packed, epic space adventure, DC's "Omega Men," expands the DC Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Pren NuParr finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious box coveted by Alonzo Dulak, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Alonzo Dulak, NuParr is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits--Shlagen, a gun-toting Spitroid; Broot, a Changralynian; the deadly and enigmatic Kalista; and the revenge-driven Tigorr. But when NuParr discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand--with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
