LOL! How could any comics marketer miss such a sure thing?? Of course, I'm an easy mark because of my low threshold for nostalgic DC stuff. <BR/><BR/>The thing that irks <I>me</I> about the new Omega Men is the lack of Omega Women--though there is one possible addition to the team in this issue.Jim Roeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381244745309535742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13604760.post-1161594066966489062006-10-23T05:01:00.000-04:002006-10-23T05:01:00.000-04:00also, I thought you might enjoy these comments of ...also, I thought you might enjoy these comments of mine upon seeing the Omega Men solicit, months ago:<BR/><BR/><I>A classic team makes an unexpected return to comics in a 6-issue miniseries written by Andersen Gabrych (DETECTIVE COMICS) with art by Henry Flint (2000 A.D.)! Convinced that all of creation is on the brink of cosmic apocalypse, the last remaining Omega Men begin a universe-spanning rampage of murder and destruction. Pursued by every known league of interstellar justice, they are on the run and taking no prisoners! What is the mystery in space that One Year Later transforms these former freedom fighters into brutal terrorists? Climb on board for the controversial and head-spinning science-fiction odyssey that synthesizes intolerant zealotry, quantum mechanics, and all-out action!<BR/>On sale October 18 • 1 of 6 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US</I><BR/><BR/>Disclaimer: I know nothing about the "Omega Men." But why does the solicitation copy sound like a crappy Sci-Fi Channel Thursday-afternoon thriller? The cover features a guy on fire (okay), a dude throwing an asteroid (nice), a guy with a pair of Pontiac headlights instead of a head (!) and an orange catfish-headed dude smoking a cigar(!!!!)! If you cannot sell me on a comic featuring a CIGAR-SMOKING ORANGE CATFISH MAN IN SPACE, you have utterly failed in your job as a marketer and you must be fired. Yet another casualty of the Taking Oneself Too Seriously Syndrome plaguing corporate comics today.Leigh Waltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964802750317393614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13604760.post-1161593216415018872006-10-23T04:46:00.000-04:002006-10-23T04:46:00.000-04:00also: My eyeballs would love you if you could sepa...also: My eyeballs would love you if you could separate the paragraphs with actual line breaks intead of just dots!Leigh Waltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964802750317393614noreply@blogger.com
