I really liked the 0 issue.
Much better than the Spooks limited.
I wonder if Larry Had more creative control in Omega Team than the regular book?

The plot in the 1st one definitely felt like a movie, and sadly that is not to its credit.
The dialogue was great, but the story was merely good.

Omega Team had a rougher dirtier feel.
And I liked it a lot!

SPOOKS was a screenplay before it became a comic book, so your hunch is correct.

Hopefully Ryan (Schiffrin) will be able to get SPOOKS on the big screen.

SPOOKS Omega Team is basiclly a blank slate for Larry to play with. Ryan is still the "license" holder, but since he is a horror movie writer, I imagine he will be very open to what Larry has to write.

Also...apparently Adam Archer (the artist for SPOOKS, and SPOOKS Omega Team #0) will be coming back as of Omega Team #2. I got nothing buy love for Tim, but I really liked Adam's art in the SPOOKS book.

Ah-ha, knew there was a movie script in the mix somewhee I just didn;t know it was on that end of the chaion.
got it.

See, I expected #4 to start off with something along the lines of two medics arguing over giving the Chief(whose, name I have forgotten, 4 issues doesn't stick in my memory like it did when I was 12) some sort of vampire body search or blood test or something.

I mean it only makes sense to test somebody held captive by vampires, and Larry wouldn't normally miss a beat like that. But they did a lame last page 'reveal'. As if the line 'You look a little pale' at the end of 3 meant anything but him being a vampire.

Don't get me wrong I liked Spooks, a lot, but Omega Team is more my speed- fast, brutal, and merciless.

Looks good.

It was pretty good, but I think the zero issue was better.

With the red painted vehicles I was thinking Hasbro toy tie in. Has anyone started making Spooks custom figures yet?

I'm sure someone is working on them.

The issue was good, I actually enjoyed it more then issue #0. I enjoyed seeing the interaction with the regular US forces and the team starting to put together the puzzle that they opened.

While issue #0 was a good stand alone, I like seeing a story that leaves me wanting to know what is going to happen next.

Oh....and those eyes on the second to last page really freaked me out....

Speaking of customs...check them out

Becuase of the way I get my comics delivered I only got to read this one today; but boy was it worth the wait.

I thought this issue was classic Larry Hama action. DX was already my favourite SPOOKS agent before I even read the #0 issue because of that great visual; but now he's got the potential to be as cool as Larry's versions of Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Wolverine. I love the way that character is played against type - you've got that creepy faceless visual and despite him being a pretty weird bastard, he makes crappy puns and funny jokes and is still a badass.

Roll on the next issue.

P.S. Nice site you got here, Phil.
