The Four Color Media Monitor

The latest characters who may be victims of DC's inside-out transformations includes the Omega Men, who had a series that ran three years in the mid-80s (one of the first series to use the Baxter paper at the time they were using it), and I own the first two issues of that old series somewhere in my collection. Here's the synopsis for the new 6-part miniseries:

A classic team makes an unexpected return to comics in a 6-issue miniseries written by Andersen Gabrych (DETECTIVE COMICS) with art by Henry Flint (2000 A.D.)! Convinced that all of creation is on the brink of cosmic apocalypse, the last remaining Omega Men begin a universe-spanning rampage of murder and destruction.

Pursued by every known league of interstellar justice, they are on the run and taking no prisoners! What is the mystery in space that One Year Later transforms these former freedom fighters into brutal terrorists? Climb on board for the controversial and head-spinning science-fiction odyssey that synthesizes intolerant zealotry, quantum mechanics, and all-out action!

Sorry, but, if this series is built upon the mentality that's been taking effect of recent, with heroes being turned into villains and vice versa, then no action scenes in this book will be worth it for me. I'm not in favor of tampering with old characters for the sake of political correctness, nor for bringing back old characters in stories built on negative leanings.
