O.M.I.T…W.H.A.T?

April 7th, 2010
Author Lan Pitts

You might have seen this ad in several Marvel books in the past few weeks, but what is O.M.I.T.? Considering that Joe Quesada himself is working on the project, you know it’s something big.

Only Mutants In Time?

Osborn Making Ice Tea?

Your guess is as good as mine (and probably not anything I just listed), so let the speculation games begin.

    Far-fetched guess: Official Marvel International Timeline (a history of the MU and how “new history” like Marvels Project, Winter Soldier and Hickman’s SHIELD fit into the official timeline)

    Silly guess: Oklahoma Misses Its Thor (Siege is over. Asgard is gone. Who will defend the Sooner State from the now-jobless villains lurking in the aftermath?)

    I like Dan’s ‘Oh My It’s Terrible’ but I guess the real deal is ‘One Moment in Time’ with supposedly the Spider-Man answers since OMD/BND.

    This time, Peter makes a deal with Mephisto so he’s better at pleasuring all the ladies. You know… since he no longer has a wife and all.

    O.M.I.T …W.H.A.T?

    Any real reason to be interested?
    How about trying to promote an actual story without nonsensical need for teasers, Marvel?

    Big? Really? Was Daredevil Father “big”? It is best known for its lateness.

    Here’s an idea, why don’t we stop the EXTREMELY non-funny wise-ass answers and actually try & figure it out? seriously, why do you all have to be ass-bags about it?

  37. gianluca Says:

    riveira on july will work on a story of spider-man (you can read it on his blog)
    so this is probabibly a spider-man story… i think it’s the story about the marriage..

  38. tcalexander Says:

    You all missed it.

    Marvel has no idea what it is and is hoping by throwing out a couple letters as a teaser that someone will come up with an idea for them.

  39. tcalexander Says:

    BTW – I’m really sick of Marvel. Anyone want to buy all my Marvel back issues cheap?

    Figure what out? The best and most logical ‘serious’ guess (in my mind, anyway) is ‘One Moment In Time’, but even that is still a guess. There is nothing *to* figure out yet. An acronym, two names, and a date do not offer a lot of room for serious deductive insight.

    One way to combat assbaggery, if it is truly a source of distress, is to ignore it and expound upon your own theories of what OMIT means. Calling attention to assbaggery, particularly on the internet, is almost certain to increase, rather than decrease, said assbaggery.

    That being said….

    It’s already been said by the artist in a forum on line that it’s ONE MOMENT IN TIME. And it’s the story of how the marriage didn’t happen. It is not something I am interested in as Quesada has proven previously he can not write to save his life.

  47. jni1973 Says:

    Why all the marvel bashing? If you don’t like it don’t read it.
    P.S. DC sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  48. Sentinel of Liberty Says:

    What a cynical lot you all are. Why bother reading comics if you are that jaded with the medium.

    Put the bitch back in the bottle, and try being nice for 1 whole day.

    You might even like it!

    I think the M = MiracleMan

  50. Matty Says:

    Eh. Most days the b!tch is in the bottle. This ad campaign is lazy, however. It’s fine to be mysterious to create buzz. The Noir line was good marketing when they leaked just images. Or the Secret Avengers silhouettes and a phtrase. The “OMIT” in creaky typewriter font and a date: not terribly compelling for the reasons Eric T pointed out above. The cynical fans are demonstrating more creativity than Marvel in this specific campaign.

    One More Insufferable Title

    Wait, that’s HCOMDGAW. I flunked acronyms 101.

    ROFJO

  53. Taking Back Sunday Says:

    One Mutant in Ten? Repopulating the mutants…pleasepleasepleaseplease.
    Either way if it’s interesting, I’ll check it out.

    “Ooh! It’s a teaser, how stupid! How dare they whet the appetite of their fans! God! I don’t even watch trailers for movies, because that’s just STUPID, just show the movie!. Advertising is dumb, if it’s worth it, we’ll just hear about it!”
    Gotta love idiotic fanboys who complain about EVERYTHING but are still going to buy it. Watching you people is almost as fun as reading the actual comments, because then I get to feel better that Im not you.

  54. ralph mathieu Says:

    If that’s an actual title for a comic or a comic event, that’s REALLY lame. I think what Quesada and Marvel are trying to say with this teaser is that people should omit more Marvel titles from their pull files and add Vertigo’s Daytripper and DC’s Flash or pick up some great graphic novels like King Of The Flies or Alec “The Years Have Pants”. These teaser ads that give a person nothing to go with are a lot of sound signifying nothing.

    Hickman & Weaver’s S.H.I.E.L.D was great though! Bring on the second printing of that!

  55. hailex Says:

    I think they left out the V. at the beginning

  56. Marc Baker Says:

    Well ok, One more day was not exactly awesome sauce, but the subsequent Spider-Man comics have been ace. Paolo Rivera is one of the best artists working in comics today (any doubters should look at his incredibly beautiful work on the ‘Mythos’ series). This’ll be cool.

    As for the ‘Teaser haters’, why are you even reading these articles? (let alone wasting your life bitching about them?). It’s comics- it’s supposed to be fun.
