OMNI "Kinesthetic" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

(and yes, this kool Dave Johnson cover is symbolic!)

A disguised Dr Cobbina arrives at a migrant detention center where now-superpowered children, separated from their parents, have thrown out their captors!
She assesses the situation, and tries to keep the kids calm...but they are children, and tend to over-react...










Written by Devin Grayson and illustrated by Alitha Martinez, this first Don da Con administration-era issue cleverly took a real-world issue and inserted it into the series' sci-fi-oriented universe without seeming out-of place!

Doctor Cobbina aka Omni Will Return!

OMNI "Kinesthetic" Part 1

When Last We Left the MD with a Mind That Operates Faster Than Light...

I love it when the comic does my work for me!
Now let's get to it...









MAGA's greatest nightmare: undocumented immigrants with super-powers...willing to use them to protect themselves!
Written by Devin Grayson, illustrated by Chris Eliopoulos (intro.synopsis) & Alitha Martinez, this tale from Humanoids' Omni #3 (2019), set during Don da Con's previous administration, takes a timely topic and adds twists and turns aplenty to a real-world situation!
To Be Concluded...One Way or Another...

MYSTERIES OF UNEXPLORED WORLDS "No. 9 Swanson St."

Matt Baker Illustrated Few Medical-Oriented Tales...

...that didn't involve a hot 'n heavy romance featuring a doctor, nurse, or both!
But, this never-reprinted story is one of them!
From Charlton's Mysteries of Unexplored Worlds #14 (1959), this Joe Gill-scripted, Matt Baker-penciled, and Vince Colletta-inked tale of a medical technician who eneded up at the wrong address wouldn't have been out of place as an episode of The Twilight Zone!

OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Part 2.5

...while traveling though the United States seeking out "Ignited" (people who a cosmic event activated latent hyper-abilities), Dr Cecelia Cobbina, whose ability is having her mental processes working, literally at the speed of light, comes across a case of a young "ignited" man accused of shooting a policeman.
The man faces an unpleasant fate at the hands of the policeman's enraged partner until the good doctor points out...
How is this possible?

And now we segue into next issue's story...
Undocumented immigrants with "ignited" powers?
This story by writer Devin Grayson and artists Chris Eliopoulos, Alitha Martinez, Meredith Laxton, and Djibril Morissette-Phan, from Humanoids' Omni #2 (2019) show that the cosmos doesn't discriminate based on race, financial status, or paperwork.
Sadly, many people do!
But Dr Cobbina doesn't!

OMNI "Logical-Mathematical" Part 2

When Last We Left the Doctor Whose Brain Functions are Faster than Light...

...normally, I'd synopsize, but since Mae, the good doctor's aide is keeping a graphic diary, I'll let her explain what's going on...
And now, on with our tale...
This is what we call a "mic drop moment" and tell you we'll pick up the story...
Next Friday!
The series ran ten issues (six in print/on-line and four on-line only) as part of the H1 comics universe.
Sadly, the entire H1 project seems to have ended without a conclusion in 2021.
There were no new issues after that, and the company's website offers no further info beyond the already-published titles.
But we wanted to introduce our audience to the fascinating Dr Cobbina, and suggest they track down the remainder of her saga...
