The Big Canadian Sell-out
:: Posted by Bryan @ 4/24/2007 02:31:00 AM Somewhat old news:
This sort of thing happens with every comic Marvel publishes, I think. The company publishes just enough to meet preorders to generate interest in the series and the inevitable trade paperback collection.
Anyway, by all appearances the series continues to be awful looking, despite a plot that seems to be a clever analogy of recent political vents in the U.S. with many jokes about and a few actual defections/migrations of disgruntled politicos and AWOL soldiers from the U.S.A. to Canada.
Please send Sequential your Omega Flight parodies and better ideas for Canadian superheroes.
Marvel is pleased to announce that Omega Flight #1, featuring the debut of Canada's new super team, has sold out at Diamond. Featuring the talents of writer Mike Oeming (Thor) and Scott Kolins (Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes), the inaugural issue of this limited series has struck a chord with both retailers and fans.
To meet demand for this issue, Marvel Comics is going back to print on Omega Flight #1 with a variant cover featuring interior art by Scott Kolins.
In the wake of Civil War, Canada has put together its own super-team called Omega Flight, the last line of defense for the Great White North against super villain insurgents from abroad. Unfortunately for the Canadians, before Omega Flight can band together, a powerful team of villains have decided to turn their northern neighbor in a playground for plundering.
Note, Omega Flight #1 may still be available at the retailer level. Marvel advises that retailers check their orders for upcoming issues as Omega Flight continues to benefit from strong reviews and word of mouth. Also, don't miss your chance to find how it all began—check out Alpha Flight Classic Vol.1, in stores now, presenting the first 8 issues of the Canadian superteam's adventures.
