Omni Vol. 1: The Doctor Is In by Devin Grayson, Alitha Martinez
4.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 Stars
A young doctor suddenly and mysteriously acquires superpowers as do several other individuals on the planet. But only her power can answer "why".
Given how stale the superhero genre has been getting these past few years Omni is a fresh and original take on what human beings would do if they were given tremendous unexplained powers. This book has one of the most interesting premises for a superhero story I’ve heard in a long time. It’s culturally relevant, not afraid to tackle 'taboo' subjects and still fun and interesting enough to keep your attention.
The colour work and illustrations are fantastic. They work so well to clearly show how the ignited's powers work and any limitations they have. I especially like the neon colours used when Celina uses her powers.
The only reason that this book didn't get a 5 Star rating from me was that the tension seemed to decrease as the story went on. However, with all the questions the ending of this volume left me with and everything is set up so far, I will be sure to pick up the next issue when it's released.
