"Alpha to Omega": Part Two
Writer: Michael Avon Oeming
Artists: Scott Kolins, Brian Reber(c)
Publisher: Marvel
Cosmos. This is such a depressing book. Omega Flight really should be the last attempt to bring this team back to comics if this is the best Marvel could do. Michael Avon Oeming a writer whom I respect makes the book literary Prozac.
Sasquatch has been captured by the Wrecking Crew to be gruesomely tortured. Joy. U.S. Agent attacks a villain for attempting to wipe out her credit debt. Hussah. He's almost wiped out from existence until the second Spider-Woman saves his sorry butt. Yay.
When I put Omega Flight on my subscription list I was hoping for a book that would avoid the Civil War, but no. This Big Stupid Event is deep in its heart. If you have any doubt, Tin Fascist and his pet quisling Ms. Marvel make an appearance through a SHIELD vidlink. Oeming even throws in a few gratuitous flashbacks of the Civil War as Talisman criticizes American registration.
Whatever happened to fun? This book with murky artwork by Kolins and Reber isn't fun.
