The new MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS looks pretty good. John Barber did well, offering straight up answers with less of the smarmy, arrogant car-salesman-huskster routine of Joe Q. The EIC should take some lessons from his underlings on how to do interviews.

He also confirmed we "would see more" of OMEGA FLIGHT. The mini is tearing up the charts with over 100k sales within the 3rd issue. Not giving Oeming an ongoing here would squander potential.

Of course, Marvel has essentially squandered YOUNG AVENGERS by waiting for Heinberg, so...

Omeag flight would be cool as a ongoing. So far the mini has confused the heck out of me. Were on the forth issue and I still have no clue whats going on. You can really tell in the issues that omega would have payed off better being an ongoing. Man MCP sounds cool. But I buy to many comics as is, I don't think I can commit to any more. All these big event stuff is busting my wallet at every turn. I really hope the event phase the big 2 are going through will end soon, and for once just tell storys that don't need to effect the whole universe.

About to read it

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

I love what he said about the horror stuff and giving the MAX imprint a big push. I think Marvel's monsters could have a good "home" there. I'd love to see slightly more adult stories with Werewolf By Night, Satana, Morbius, etc.,...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It'd be cool if they continued the premise they set up with the Werewolf by Night one-shot. Jack Russell as a wandering loner on a bike could be pretty good.

 

[Darthphere]

These are great, because Dread still finds a way to get a zinger in there about Quesada.

 

[King_Mungi]

I hope they actually tell us who really lived from the battle of the Collective it's getting out of hand. Plus Guardian is now getting his own 12 issue story in Marvel Comics Presents, not sure how I fell about that

 

[Darthphere]

I thought they did that already?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahahaha!

 

[Darthphere]

But they were dead on panel. Don't you guys remember Guardian with the tears streaming down his face?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They were dead on-panel, but their deaths took place off-panel.

 

[Darthphere]

***** tears dude.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Real men cry like babies at least twice a week.

 

[Darthphere]

The Brawny man doesn't. He just cuts down more trees.

 

[PhotoJones]

Real men cry like babies at least twice a week.

Yes they do.

From other interviews their saying we didn't actually see their dead bodies or confirmed dead bodies. Marvel is going by they were sleeping doesn't mean dead belief. IT'S LOGIC!

"Possessed by Xorn he obliterated Alpha Flight, killing all but Sasquatch (maybe)." Oh Marvel your such a cocktease

We eventually got to see them die, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eventually doesn't count.

OMEGA FLIGHT. The mini is tearing up the charts with over 100k sales within the 3rd issue.

Where is that number from? I was reading the June Sales chart and nothing past the top 15 made it past 100K
