08/03/2008... Check out a new interview with
Martin in the interview section.
08/03/2008... The O Men is SFX's Fanzine of
the month (in the new issue, Primeval cover). They ran a nice review
and a pic of the cover of O Men 2.5 too. That has made my day!
THE O MEN SEASON 2 #5
The first run of Brit superhero comic
The O Men was met with a great deal of praise from comics websites
and various magazines, and the second season, which kicked off in
May 2006, has kept the standard high. It sees the O Men team, which
had been all but obliterated in the first season, tentatively reformed
while the survivors deal with the fallout, and introduces some new
characters along the way. Issue five is a peculiar beast, an anthology
which combines the backstory for new character Asylum with those
of various other characters in a really quite ingenious way. You
really do need to read the previous issues – the first three of
season two have been collected into a single comic, available from
the official site for £5 – but The O Men is a solidly constructed
and captivating read that’s well worth the investment.
05/11/2007... The O Men was reviewed in Australian
magazine People. See it here.
04/11/2007... Notes
for issues 2.4 and 2.5 are now uploaded.
01/09/2007... If
you're new to The O Men and fancy starting with the first collection
of Season Two (great jumping-on point!), Martin is offering to throw
in the final issue of Season One for free (while stocks last). Give
it a go!
01/09/07... O Men 2.5 is on sale now!!! It's
the special Anthology issue written and drawn by Martin Eden, with
special guest art by Roger Mason, Graham Pearce, Oli Smith, Grant
Springford, Gary Simpson, Sina Shamsavari, Sean Azzopardi, Kelvin
Green and Andrew James! You can get it for £1.50 if you order
it direct from the website.
09/08/07... Good news and Bad news...
First the good news - a great review of O Men 2.4 here...
As for the bad news - sadly Martin has been struck down with a bug
and won't be able to launch the special Anthology issue at Caption
this weekend. He is absolutely gutted but it can't be helped, unfortunately.
So it's all done and will be available very, very soon - it will
be worth the wait!
