    Michael Avon Oeming discusses Marvel's decision to alter Omega Flight from a regular series to a 5 issue mini-series. AlphaFlight.net: Hello Mike, thanks for joining me once again. With the solicitation out for Omega Flight #1, Marvel has announced it as being a 5 issue Mini series, instead of the regular length series it was initially supposed to be. What explanation were you given for the reasoning behind this decision? Might this mini still lead to a regular series? Oeming: Andy Schmidt, Omega Flight editor explained in best when he said Marvel was simply afraid of flooding the post Civil War Market with spin-offs. Its simple, should the book do well, we'll see more of it. If not, Omega Flight/Alpha Flight will rise again in time. ...

    When the solicitation for Omega Flight #1 came out, fans were shocked to see that it was slated to be a 5 issue Mini-Series instead of a full length series as was originally intended. AlphaFlight.net spoke with Omega Flight editor Andy Schmidt to uncover what had happened. Originally printed 01/08/17 AlphaFlight.net: The solicitations for Omega Flight #1 just came out, and fans are already up in arms about it being listed as a 5 issue mini-series. This is news to everyone, so I'm hoping you are able to set the record strait on what's going on. Schmidt, Andy: I’ll certainly try. AlphaFlight.net: Why was the Omega Flight series "downgraded" to a 5 part mini? Schmidt, Andy: We’re trying not to overload the market with CIVIL WAR spin-off books. While we’ve got plenty of ideas and we’re confidant that OMEGA FLIGHT will be well received, we’re also aware that a lot of people have been spending a lot of money on our books lately. We’re trying not to ask too much of our readers and their ...

    Issue: X Men Noir: Mark of Cain #4 Writer: Fred Van Lente Artist: Dennis Calero Date Published: March 2010 Alpha Appearance: Alternate version of Puck Period in Alpha Flight's history: N/A OVERVIEW: It all comes together. People are betrayed, friendships are affirmed, new characters are crawling out of the woodwork (literally). REVIEW: This issue was slightly easier for me to review on its own than the last, because I read it on its own. (I got the first three at the same time because of technobabble.) Last time, I mentioned finding the art easier to 'read' than other people did. I'm gonna take that back. There were a lot of times here when I couldn't tell who I was supposed to be looking at. It made it hard to follow the complex narrative; who betrayed who? Who was on whose side? That's hard to tell in the convoluted plot, even harder when I can't see who I'm seeing. ...

These days it certainly looks like you are one of the busiest people in the industry. Oeming: I doubt it! You see how much I sleep. If I was serious about work, I would cut that **** out. AlphaFlight.net: Thinking back, what was you first exposure to Alpha Flight? Oeming: Hmm, I had to be looking through a friends collection when I was a kid. I certainly remember when I first started liking Mignola's work, his covers caught my eye. There was and still is nothing like it on the shelves... ...

    Leading up to the launch of Omega Flight, series artist Scott Kolins discussed the title with AlphaFlight.net. AlphaFlight.net: First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time for this interview Scott. I look at this as a chance for the fans to get to know a bit about the man behind the pencils of Omega Flight before it hits the shelves. How did you first become interested in comics, and what made you decide to make a career in penciling them? SCOTT: I was about 5 or 6 when I ran past a magazine shelf that also had comics – something I’d never seen before. They had 2 Hulk consecutive issues that just leapt out at me. Hulk #179 & 180 I believe. My friends had gone on and had to double back to find me; I don’t know what happened the rest of the day – Iwas hooked. I ...
