Omega 1 Is Too Tough To Die – Comics Review
Though Omega 1: The Hacker Wars may not be counted among infamously delayed comic book stories such as the multi-month gap between issues for Kevin Smith’s Batman Cocophany and The Widening Gyre or the whopping 3 year delay for issue 3 of Smith’s Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do (you might be noticing a trend), there is another indie filmmaker behind Omega 1 who wants to finish what he started. Marc Edward Lewis first conceived the story of a futuristic female amnesiac super soldier for hire back in 2006 when he and the character’s inspiration, Alina Andrei saw the lack of strong female leads in the comic landscape. The series, written by Lewis with art by Emmanuel Xerx Javier, only made it to issue 4 when publication was halted and the story has remained in limbo for over a decade. But Omega 1 is hard to kill and is looking to make a comeback through a fan-funded Kickstarter campaign with goals that go beyond simply creating 2 more issues
