Omega Men #3

[laughing_tree]

"I was in the CIA for a bunch of years and did counter-terrorism work. A lot of it overseas. I lived in an environment where religious cultures were clashing with the highest of stakes. In an environment where the good guys and bad guys seemed clear at first, and then as you went along, it wasn’t clear at all. Alliances kept shifting. And the enemy of my enemy became our friend. And then that enemy became our enemy. It got more and more tangled.

"I want to bring that all, through metaphor, into Omega Men. I can’t help but bring it into Omega Men." -- Tom King

Okay am I the only one who reads that and immediately goes, "this guy is nuts and/or lying"? CIA agents do not go on to write for the funnies.

Given the still memorable controversy surrounding Micah Wright being ejected from writing Stormwatch: Team Achilles for lying about serving in the military, I doubt King is lying.

Seriously? All you have to do nowadays is google "Tom King" CIA to find out if its true or not. Which it is, of course.

Oh she's terrible. I like her.

The art is pretty slick, which makes her inconsistently appearing bandages even more annoying.
