Omega was a comic series focusing on the character of Omega and the mythos of the planet Minyos, who were licensed directly from their copyright-holders. It was published by Cutaway Comics.[1]

A few black-and-white, unlettered panels of the comic were previewed in DWM 554 in an article otherwise devoted to Cutaway Comics' earlier spin-off project, Lytton.

Overview[]

The series features Princess Malika, last of the Minyan Royal Family, as she attempts to foil Omega's plan to escape his black hole prison by stoking chaos on the planet Minyos, where the people are in uprising against their alien gods!
