Liefeld does have a number of projects lined up though, I understand, including Deathstroke. O.M.A.C was co-written by co-publisher Dan DiDio, and as I pointed out earlier, there would have been allegations of favouritism if this book had survived a cull, even though sales of the book had been relatively improving. Men Of War was one of[...]

THE WORLD THAT'S COMING includes more O.M.A.C., according to both inker Scott Koblish and writer (and DC Co-Publisher) Dan DiDio  That's good, because I've been intrigued by the cross-section of titles that the New 52 (and post-New 52 now, I guess) represents, and if DC and the comic market supports that range over time, that[...]
