This is great.

Man I love when DiDio gets interviewed he is just so into his projects its grat. Omac seems like so much fun, and I'm really pumped for the cross over with Mr. Terrific.


The Nightwing villains an dDeathstroke villains sound awesome.


And Ivampire is going to be awesome I just know it.


My only question is where are all the other writers/artist. I want to hear about the other 38 books

He said Mr. Terrific shows up in the book. He didn't say it was a crossover.

How much do you guys wanna bet they will cross over?

Yeah watch the video. He said later on there will also be a crossover with mister terrific. But what if mister terrific gets cancelled?
Omac and Mister Terrific would work well together. If Mister Terrific gets cancelled, he should join OMAC as a supporting character.

Judging from today's news, looks like they're both getting cancelled.

probably not. DC let power girl run for a lot longer with lower numbers than these 2. And we still don't know how DC is evaluating books, you can't totally go by the first month sales. Omac and Terrific were ahead of several other popular marvel books.

And thats not even counting digital sales. So really a lot more has to be taken into account by DC than what fans generally perceive.

And a lot of the numbers are skewed due to returnability of certain titles. So they may actually have sold better than they did

Man, I repeat, Adam Glass looks like a pretty cool guy to hang out with.
Both Higgings and Lobdell really got me interested with theire descriptions... I also might check out Blackhawks.

He also mention Frankenstein.

[Raye]

what do you mean judging by today's news? the sales figures? OMAC may have been the lowest ranked, but it still sold like 40k *before* reprints. That's not cancellation territory.

[Jabare]

He also mention Frankenstein.

I know, but the Fankenstein and Omac crossover is old news. We've known about that for weeks now. I'm excited about that as well, but its not really anything we didn't already know

Man I completely disagree, I don't why but Adam Glass freaks me the f**k out.

The problem isn't the sales/shipment numbers themselves, it's the ranking.

What happens when numbers for all books eventually go through their gradual monthly decline and level-off? Which books are in danger of going first? It's not how much it's selling. It's how much it's selling compared to the other titles.

That's the problem. OMAC being ranked as litterally the worst-selling DCU book isn't helping its longevity, especially when it has to compete with the other 52 books.
