Available to order from www.cutawaycomics.co.uk
From the worlds of ancient mythology comes Omega Eltralla
The opening chapter of the new the Gods & Monsters series – Trapped in his black-hole prison, Omega is surprised to find an unexpected arrival: the Eltralla, a phantom colony ship. For Omega, this is a way out the black hole and a means to escape. For us, it will be the beginning of the end of the universe…
“Following our Omega series, I wanted to do something heroic with Omega. He rarely gets the chance to do more than rant and weep – he’s an engineer, a nobleman and a creator – time to explore some of these facets..” says Publisher Gareth Kavanagh.
Written by MARK GRIFFITHS (Omega mini series and audio, Spy Toys, Doctor Who: Self Made Man) with art by comics legend JOHN RIDGWAY (Omehga mini series, Hellblazer, Doctor Who: Voyager) this is a dramatic introduction to the Eltralla.
From the worlds of ancient mythology comes Sutekh The Heretic!
Rescued from oblivion, fallen God Sutekh the Destroyer leads an unlikely army of liberation to free a far flung galaxy from the clutches of evil demon Azag. But will the found adoration of billions of freed slaves be his undoing?
Publisher Gareth Kavanagh picks up the story: “It was an irresistible chance to introduce Sutekh, the Egyptian god of death into the narrative. The dramatic potential of a one-shot having him wreak havoc was ideal for Ian to get his teeth into. And then there’s the potential of pairing Sutekh and Omega against each other in future volumes… it’s going to be epic!”.
Written by IAN WINTERTON (Demon of Eden, the Ballad of Halo Jones stage adaptation) with art by ADRIAN SALMON and lettering by COLIN BROCKHURST. OMEGA & SUTEKH is presented as a full colour prestige format comic with extras and a VAM disc packed with goodies.

August 18th, 2023 - 10:15amWhy has Omega turned into Brian Blessed?

August 18th, 2023 - 11:48amBecause there is an Audio version of the previous 4 issue set. As a full cast audio. With the great man playing Omega .
It’s great fun for seven pounds on the cutaway site CD nine pounds Download

August 18th, 2023 - 12:07pmDoes this go back to a scene in Lawrence Mile’s Interference, where Omega is imagined to be played by Brian Blessed? They’re great books, if experimental Who is your thing, but it’s a long time since I read them.

August 18th, 2023 - 1:33pmI just finished a re-read Jason Z. They’re… OK. I don’t think they hold up as well now that we’ve had nearly 20 years of modern Who telling similar stories.

August 18th, 2023 - 2:31pmI think the idea m8ght be from Lawrence Miles. But they didn’t start out that way. It was a PR idea for fun Vam. Who could you get to play Omega now.
Brian Blessed said everyone
So they asked, he said yes, so they made a “full cast” version of the first 4 cutaway comics. From 2020. This comic is a one shot follow up.
The Quark
August 18th, 2023 - 3:39pmSo they actually produced an audio with Brian playing Omega ? Even if the stories rubbish its got to be worth hearing Brian ranting his noggin off .
