So my question to you is: How would you sell someone on these two books?
    As far as Section Eight, I'd say pick up the Hitman: Ace of Killers tpb where they are first introduced. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. You'll probably end up picking up the rest of the series, too.

    This version of Omega Men is more of an unknown quantity, but King has been doing some very solid work for DC over the past year. Maybe check out Bedard's R.E.B.E.L.S., which was a great book that had the Omega Men as supporting characters for much of its first year.

    I'd say it's more Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire JLI, but nastier. Instead of hanging out in embassies, they hang out in the nastiest bar in Gotham. And they tend to cause more harm than good.

    That actually sounds awesome. The recent work of Ennis has me a little underwhelmed, but I'm willing to try something new. Maybe this Hitman character will appear?

    Could possibly. MAJOR SPOILER for Hitman:

    spoilers:
    All Section Eight was killed in Hitman as was Tommy Monaghan himself. Even though this is a new continuity, I doubt Garth and Johnny are going to retcon their own story. But you never know...
    end of spoilers

    I will be buying first issues of both, but I am especially hyped for Omega Men. Im hoping we see a bit more of the original crew including Primus, Kalista, Harpis and Demonia. Always felt they had so much potential that was just squandered. Anyway, these look great.

    Everyone except for Sixpack. Tommy and Natt just assumed he died but it's shown that he's going to AA meetings.

    Tom King interview on podcast discussing various topics including Omega Men.

    http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/1/b/5/1b5d...d1a8f632e83b0f

    If I recall the Omega Men portion started around the 2 hr mark.

    I listened to podcast to hear info about Grayson (which most know Tom King co-writes with Tim Seeley, and is doing an amazing job). But his discussion about Onega Men left me really intrigued by this title.

    Cliff notes (as I took it) : he pitched the title to dc, as a dc version of Guardians of the galaxy. Dc wasn't having it and wanted something based on a mixture of Star Wars rebels vs empire, and King's real life CIA experience with counter-terrorism etc. which King was enthused to do.

    Sounds like it could be an interesting read.

    I hope it turns out to be good. DC is doing great things with the mystical side from what I heard. So hopefully they put that same energy into the cosmic side.

    The Omega were suppose to be the children of the Omega Men. That's what Liefeld mentioned on Twitter around the time of that Deathstroke arc. He wanted to leave it to Giffen to relaunch the Omega Men.

    On the other hand, they could have just All New Atomed him.

    I'm pretty sure I'll be adding Omega Men to my list.
