Lethem sure uses a lot of big words! :mad:

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced two years or so ago. I'm thrilled that it's finally here. Lethem is a great writer.

Stephen King beat him to the draw.



I kid of course. Seriously, it's great that this is coming out. But who here didn't write this book off at some point as vaporware?

I liked the original Omega when it started. That's when Steve Gerber was fresh off of Howard the Duck and the numero uno mover and shaker in comics.

I don't know from Lethem, but he's got great credentials and a love for the concept. Glad he is doing this.
