Yes, that's right: Jonathan Lethem, of Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn fame, has teamed up with Farel Dalrymple to revive Lethem's fave, Omega the Unknown, originally created and produced in the 1970s by Steve Gerber, Mary Skrenes and Jim Mooney for Marvel Comics, who are also publishing this edition.  On the one hand this series is bound to be somewhat hermetic as Lethem will doubtless use Omega as a cipher on which to project recollections of his own adolescent experiences.  On the other hand, it is sure to make for a multilevelled, intellectually engaging read with Lethem in the driver's seat.  We have also been led to understand that art comics maestro Gary Panter will be involved in some capacity at some point in the series, which is certainly something to look forward to; think about it -- Gary Panter art in a Marvel Superhero comic book.  We'll let you know if/when this magic moment transpires.  And we'll all figure out together exactly what it means...
