Unabashedly political, Omni takes a little but to find its footing, but delivers when it does. Dr. Cecilia has become the first "Ignited", manifesting all 9 intelligences. She and her (honestly, incredibly annoying) sidekick Mae travel around finding other Ignited, until the Omni corporation finds them.

Lots more is left to be explored in future installments, and the hint of a reveal at the end definitely leaves me wanting more. ( )

Omni is a really cool take on the super hero/super empowered genre. It touches on issues of race, class and climate change in the first issue in ways that feel very interesting. The idea to base superpowers on the intelligence types is a pretty cool one and the way it's presented as different aspects of Cecelia Cobbina's psyche talking to each other is novel. I love how each has it's own personal style and quirks, and the color coding really helps too. It's like a power fantasy for the marginalized and I love everything about that. Also, the art is great. I can't wait to see where it goes and to check out other entries in the shared H1 universe. ( )
