I didn't look at any previews for Omega flight #1, but now that i've seen it I had to look at previews for number 2... and I'm excited to see some good action... and I know U S Agent is cool, but its good to see him smacked around a bit, I can see U S Agent becoming a Northstar kind of character where he annoys you because he doesn't flow with the rest of the team, but he;s family and you love him.. you know kidn of the antagonist team character

Can't wait for issue two!!

[Mario]

Is it me, or does the preview make it look like the Agent's shield isn't round?

[SmurfInABlender]

no it has been beat up, it looks like its got dents in, pretty much looks like what we'll see is U S Agent being beat up, saved by Arachne.. and probably Sas saved by BRB or Talisman.. to help draw the team together

[varo]

first off....................wow! the art is awesome!!

second off, anyone saying the pace for issue 1 was slow probally won't have much to complain about this issue.

[Captain Primate]

wow...thats a snazzy looking action sequence. Great panel with arachne.

Its funny, the synopsis says that U.S.Agent "defends" T.O. Looks like he was getting his ass handed to him before Arachne comes along.

[Corvus]

Whats the deal with US Agent's stubby lightsaber thing?

[SmurfInABlender]

There was a sale on lightsabers but he got there a little too late and had to get what was left over *shrug*

[-K-M-]

Whats the deal with US Agent's stubby lightsaber thing?

He has had that weapon for years, it's so powerful it can shatter steel with merely a tap. He ko'ed Piledriver with just two hits. It's mentioned in his alphanex entry.

Thanks.

[Mokole]

WOW! Great art, action, Talisman about to kick Stark's butt. This soon to be ongoing is just that good!

[SmurfInABlender]

if she DOES kick stark's butt.. this will be another sell out issue!!

[Dfense75]

I think Iron Man should be tied down and have the Marvel universe line up and take turns wailing on him. Much like the seen in Airplane with the hysterical female passenger. :twisted: But its ok when Ronin reveals himself as Hawkeye Tony Stark will get his.

[SmurfInABlender]

or even better, lets overload his suit much like AF 12.... even if he doesn't die he'll loose his personality by the hands of an alien race

Starks' suit overloads

Talisman Looks him in his eyes as he fumblkes for a way to shut it down

Talisman: Now you know what its like to be an alphan! take your initiative elsewear!

BOOM

They look at U S Agent

U S Agent: What? I hated him too...please don't kill me!

Then they all start laughing in a sort of evil laugh

I want Ronin to be someone else. I think the Hawkeye angle is too obvious. And I wanna see where things go between him and peasant Wanda.

[Uncle Toxie]

Sorry for going off topic here, but for everyone wanting to see Stark get his rear handed to him, I have three words...

World War Hulk

[SmurfInABlender]

to bad hulk is boring for me

Was hulk pro or anti regestration..

I think he's just plain old anti-Illuminati.

[Canucklehead]

Anti-Stark.

Pro-Smash.

World. War. Hulk.

He was "not currently in the solar system"

[DelBubs]

I believe in an upcoming issue of 'She Hulk' Stark gets a bit of a smack from Jennnifer when she finds out what the 'Illuminati' did to her cousin.

[Tiberius Bane]

I am so looking forward to issue 2 of Omega Flight.
Other comics I am looking forward to?
Loners! Come on. Julie Power, Darkhawk, Turbo and Ricochet! Man, I thought I was the only one who even remembered the Slingers. Johnny is in Loners, Hornet killed during Enemy of the State* and Prodigy showing up in Civil War Frontline. The only one we havent seen is Dusk.
Also, Nova. This is a comic I have been looking forward to for awhile.
WORLD WAR HULK! Hell yeah!

Things that suck:
Omega Flight only being a mini. Same with Loners.
Green Arrow ending with issue 75! WHY? DAMN IT WHY?

*Remember the scene after Mailman Mike kills Alpha Flight and Wolverine gets all up in his face and says 'you killed Heroes!'? I actually got mad and yelled at the comic 'SO DID YOU!' Hornet from Slingers died during Enemy of the State because of Wolverine's actions. If you can forgive Wolverine, you should forgive Mailman Mike. If they make Mike Canadian, Im all in favour of him being the new Guardian. Although I am sad to see James Hudson laid to rest....again.

[Flightpath07]

In the first of the preview pages, anybody else ntotice the force with which Daisy grabs Agent's crotch? Ouch! It is a real wonder that the man can even walk, let alone fight, after that...

And I am agreeing with Beta Ray Bill needing to be the one to rescue Walter, as he is the one with the most physical force. I could spend a whole comic, just watching pages of him beating on those turds, no words at all, just grunts and slamming noises. Sweet....

[SephirothsKiller]

Hornet from Slingers died during Enemy of the State because of Wolverine's actions.

He died because of the Hand's actions, not really Wolverine's. The vibe I got off of it was that Wolverine's ego had been completely removed from the equation, while Mike's was still there in part. He was just too weak to deal with Xorn etc and so killed a bunch of people... I think a better comparison would be brainwashed JP (targeting rednecks -he clearly had ego,) and mr. mailman.

'Sides, Wolverine is the best at what he does, and Mailman Mike probably isn't even the best at delivering the mail. So... It still doesn't make sense putting him on the team. He's like Sentry but even MORE useless.

[Legerd]

I think it's the "no killer gets left behind" policy. Why let him take up valuable cell space, when you can ship him off to another country where he will receive on-the-job training and free health care?

EDIT: My god, Stark really is a genius! :shock:

[DelBubs]

Which raises the question, how long between the events of NA #16 and the appearence of Mailman Mike as Weapon Alpha or whatever. How much training would it require to make him a valuable member, while at the same time knowing all the ins and outs of the suit?

From what I get from reading the interaction between him and Sasquatch, the suit is designed to work with his mutant powers. It's not Mac's e-m supersuit, so I don't think he needs to learn anything about it. As for his training, I would assume it's partly on-the-job, and partly "Danger Room" styled practice.

[DelBubs]

That's one pretty powerful member they've got there. So what actually at the moment are his powers apart from the obvious one?

[Flightpath07]

I believe his main power is the ability to be a citizen of whatever country he happens to be in at the time!
lol

[SmurfInABlender]

WOAH..WHAT AN AMAZING POWER!!! think of all the benefits he could get!

[DelBubs]

There an obvious downside to this power, in any of the Axis of Evil countries he immediately becomes Cuban.

[SmurfInABlender]

hmm.... I dunno...that way he gets the availability of Cuban Cigars.. I dunno if that is so much of a downside

[SephirothsKiller]

Meh, all you need to do is go down to Cuba to get their cigars eh? It isn't too hard. My brother brought like 50 back to Canada with him (I don't think it's allowed, but everyone does it) and sold them for 5 bucks each.

I can come up with a way for him to have five nationalities:

-Of Pure German descent
-A member of the Orthodox Jewish faith
-Born in England
-Two Canadian Parents
-Later moved to the U.S. and became a citizen there.

Can you get Cuban Cigars while in Gauntanamo Bay, I doubt there's day release :wink:

[SmurfInABlender]

what were two orthodox, German Jews who were both originally canadien doing in england to begin with?

[DelBubs]

Here for the Cricket ?

[SmurfInABlender]

Oh.. I meant besides that, I mean the cricket was OBVIOUSE

[PWalk]

That preview is great. Kolins art is growing on me to the point to where I'm wondering if he does commision work. :?:
