    Omni #1 is a solid debut that takes superhero stories in a different direction. There's a scientific focus here and I hope a focus on STEM going forward. This is a dive into the H1 world looking at it as a mystery and puzzle to solve, there's an attempt to answer questions. It's a different take on the saturated superhero genre. And it stands out due to that. Read Full Review

    The Graphic Library - Sara Campbell

    This may be another in a long-line of superhero comics, but Grayson's approach to super-human powers is unique and intriguing.  There are only a few ignited so far who have powers similar to other comic book characters, but definitely Cece's 9 modalities is new and different.  Cece often talks amongst herselves, and the dialogue provides a fascinating look at the different way people can approach a solution.  Grayson also makes use of real and stressful situations, like the detention facilities on the U.S./Mexico Border, instead of drumming up his own fictitious situations that may ring hollow in comparison to the real world today. There's a nice cliffhanger ending here to keep readers going as well.  Martinez' illustrations make use of a bright color palette to denote each of Cece's modalities, but the world itself is shaded with natural colors and makes use of a typical, solid comicbook style.
