As it Happens did a story on Omega Flight!
Yes, CBC radio show As It Happens, Friday the 16th, interviewed Andy Schmidt at LA Con.
Highlites: They asked about Alpha Flight, talked about the team centered in Ottawa, that Mike Oeming has done tons of research and asks his Canuck friends to correct any of his Canadian errors.
Sasquatch is as strong as the Hulk
They asked about who was on the team, talked about Beta Ray Bill, but then "But what about CANADIAN heroes?"
Talisman got mentioned first, mystic, powerful, blah blah, then Sasquatch, then...
Wait for it....
Michael Pointer can explode and reassemble himself, and is...

Faster than a speeding curling rock -- more polite than an elderly diplomat! Marvel Comics prepares to unleash its most reasonable superheroes yet: the all-Canadian Omega Flight team.cbc.ca/asithappens/dailyshow/2007-03-16-aih3.ramCDN. SUPER HERO COMIC Duration: 00:06:09
It may be a little hard to believe, but Parliament Hill, is where the forces of good do prevail. And no, that gruff, hairy super hero isn't John Baird with a really bad five o'clock shadow. It's Sasquatch, whose strength rivals that of the Hulk.
Sasquatch is part of Omega Flight -- an elite group of Canadian superheroes headquartered up in the nation's capital. Their creators -- Marvel Comics -- will unleash our furry protagonist and his power-wielding associates next month.
Andy Schmidt is the editor of Omega Flight. And we reached him where we reach most guys like him ... at a comic book fair in Los Angeles, California.
Should get you the interview! Go to near the end, about 18 minutes in!!
