Omega Flight 4 Cover

[Captain Primate]

Well as a point, I don't believe that the Wrecking Crew are the villains throughout because of what the solicits do say which is that the "Real villains" behind are revealed... so I think there is a little bit more to come...

What does the solicits say? I can't find it.

OMEGA FLIGHT #4 (of 5)
Written by MICHAEL AVON OEMING
Penciles & Cover by SCOTT KOLINS
OMEGA FLIGHT VS. THE WRECKING CREW! Plus: the TRUE VILLAINS ARE REVEALED!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

I'm not really all that happy with the short little solicits they are writing for the book. Look at http://www.newsarama.com/NewJoeFrida...s43_extra.html

most of them have at least 5 lines, and as many as 11 lines. Beats the heck out of the 1.5 lines OF #4 got.

Well, its not like OF was singled out. The Fantastic Four description was even shorter.

Yah, I know, I just found that the writeup for #3 was pretty short, and this one was shorter still, but that's just me being biased.

That's how a Comic cover should be. If you had never bought a comic in your lifes and saw that on the shelf, wouldn't you take a quick look inside ?

I would. I like this cover, The Wrecking Crew looks like it's going to cause the whole team some grief, and I'm worried about the fate of Walter, now. I hope he's not dead, but Sasquatch not on the cover...doesn't look good.

Hope there is a lot of stuff in both #4 and #5, and a good, satisfying conclusion.

I don't disagree with you - it was too short. I can only hope that the very short descriptions has something to do with Joe Q's promise for upcoming OF news. Maybe I'm just overly optimistic.

Good looking cover.
Is it just me, or does that pic make it seem OF is getting their lunch money extremely stolen by the Crew? Can somebody say "arse-whoopin.."?
Of course, we all know that covers do not always tell the whole story, and often even mislead on purpose. But I am starting to get the feeling that perhaps this team of heroes is not really a team yet (in issue 4, even), and it is going to take some help from SOMEBODY (oh God, please let it be Kyle Gibney!...) to win this battle. Perhaps by the end of issue 5, we might even have new members added to the team?
Thoughts?
Personally, i wonder if Tony Stark shows up and saves the day...wouldn't that piss people off...

Oeming wouldn't let this book become another way to promote Iron Man... He's smarter and alot kidner than that lol.

I could see Sasquatch returning and saving the day.. they believe him to be dead in #2.. and stil think he's dead in #3.. meanwhile peopel on this forum get utterly pissed off and throw stuff in anger and lash out at people because Sasquatch dies... and than in #4 sasquatch coems and daves the day, and yells "It takes alot more than that to kill me" and he kills off one of the crew immediately. And starts taking it out.. it all looks like the flight is going to slaughter the crew, when out of no where apears the mystery figure

Oh and P.S. Kyle gibney isn't big enough of a charatcer to save the day.. No offence, if it is going to be a memeber of alpha it will be one of the twins that saves the day.

No offence taken! lol
Hey, I realize that Kyle is de-powered, at least for now. i would just like to see him return, somehow, to super-heroing (is that a word?). This'd be the best comic book for him to do so. Maybe not now...but maybe, sometime?

I agree, the solicits are well, stupidly short. The full Marvel Solicits for July are out now (check Newsarama), and OF still has a weak two sentence solicit.

I don't understand how this short, not very informative solicit, helps sell the book? Especially when every other solicit seems to be a full paragraph or two.

Haha yeah I was gonna say the same thing. What would he say? "Sasquatches Great Beastiness, Beta Ray's Godly Hammer nor Talisman's Sorcery could defeat these foes... looks like it's up to me and my claws! Graaaaawwww....rrrrr.......ehhhh...... please don't hit me in the face..."

Actually, Kyle wouldn't say anything. No vocal chords, Sabretooth ripped 'em out, remember?
And, as far as we know, right now he has no claws, either.
sigh...what does a hero do, when his powers disappear on him?...

Works for me!



Actually, I was wondering myself - what happened to the real Guardian suit? was it destroyed? if not, who has it?

and, how would SHIELD feel if a new AF (or something like it) started up in Canada, one not associated in the least with them or there act, one they had no control over? would they be happy? somehow, i think not!

[SmurfInABlender]

its up on the wall of a teenager in BC.. was sold on Ebay by an Ambulence driver who stole it, sold for 5 grand, problem was no one believed it to be the real suit

Nope. I am always searching for AF related stuff on E-Bay. That was definitely a fake, sorry.
And it wasn't a teenager. I'm in my 30s.

[SmurfInABlender]

I'm always tryign to find a T-shirt on ebay.. I know there were some in the passed and eveyr once in a while an AF t-shirt comes up for auction, I am always waitign and hoping
