Omni Vol. 1: The Doctor Is In by Devin Grayson, Alitha Martinez
5.0
Shoutout to NetGalley and Humanoids for the digital review copy of this wonderful comic!
Cecelia Cobbina used to work with doctors without borders, until a traumatic event “ignited” her super human intelligence power. She’s not the only one, either. All over the country, random people are igniting and unleashing various super powers. Cobbina thinks it may be related to catastrophic environmental events we’ve been experience these last few years, and she doesn’t know if it’s another stage of evolution, or a sign to prepare us for much worse things to come. So she’s traveling around the country to try and find other ingnited people and to help however she can.
I loved this comic, and I can’t wait to keep going. It blends sci-fi with psychology and social justice issues in an intriguing way. It weaves immigration issues with the Black Lives Matter movement and I think the author does a good job of bringing these important issues into a compelling, entertaining sci-fi super powers story.
This volume collects issues 1-6, and it’s not just the story that’s on point. The art is stunning. I’d love to have a couple of prints of some of these covers on my walls. No idea when the next volume is out, but it seems like half of the next trade (issues 7-9) are out as singles now, so hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait.
Check out Humanoids’ website or your fav. local shop to grab your copy.
