This looks pretty good, Gabrych’s run on Batgirl was pretty good. I always wanted to read Omega Men when I was a kid, but it was always to hard to find for some reason.

ANDERSEN GABRYCH ON OMEGA MEN
As
a concept, DC’s Omega Men are a full 25 years old, but the property’s
been slowly and steadily making a comeback. The push goes full speed in
October with a new six issue miniseries by Andersen (Batgirl)
Gabrych and Henry Flint, pitting the Omegans against a new religion
sweeping through the Vegan galaxy, with the mysterious “Lady” at its
lead.For folks who may have first encountered the Omega Men in the pages of the recent Adam Strange: Planet Heist
miniseries…hoo-boy. That’s just the surface – and just the survivors.
Originally, the Omega Men were a collection of warriors from the Vegan
star system who were united in one mission – freeing their system from
the clutches of the Citadel. They members of the team – intially
numbering about 100 – were the leaders of the worlds of the Vegan
system that the Citadel overtook. Breaking free from their capture, and
at first led by Primus, the team stood against the Citadel, and
gathered even more members.As far as the original series went – it was hot in its
day. Not bound by the shared nature of the main DCU characters, it was
a place where cast members died, changed, and entered with regularity.
Oh, and some guy named “Lobo” made his first appearance in issue #3,
but that’s a whole ‘nother story…As a team, with help from the DCU heroes, the Citadel was finally
defeated and driven from the Vegan system, but that was only the start
of further instability among the worlds – the Spider Guild quickly
assumed dominance in the region, the Sun-Eater gobbled up some stars,
and Imperiex had his way with the system as well. The Omegans, their
membership barely resembling anything that they started with in ’81,
were searching for a home among the war-torn worlds, when, as mentioned
above, they were drawn into the war between Rann and Thanagar, along
with Adam Strange…and that led to Infinite Crisis…and them getting their own miniseries. We spoke with Gabrych about the six issue story.
Newsarama: Let’s go to the beginning on this – how did you get on the gig? Was Omega Men something you pitched, or was it pitched to you?
