This wasn't too bad as a teen-friendly superpower drama. Five teens all experience tinnitus for the first time one morning, then come out of it with access to the entire world's knowledge – everything out in the public domain, or on official record anywhere, is open to them. The first book shows the five gathering together at different pace, while also proving the FBI are not to be trusted when it comes to working with their best intentions – oh, and some peculiar scholars old and new may well be connected to their ongoing story. Translated toot suite from the French we can't tell how many books will follow this, but it's a bright start – the script isn't exactly brilliant at times, and the artwork certainly has nothing to stand out with, but the concept behind it all may have a lot of the promise alluded to here. I'll be optimistic and give it four stars, then, in the hope the whole thing doesn't turn out pants.

The Omniscients graphic novel was an interesting read. The main plot centers on a group of teens who suddenly have the ability to be omniscient (have all the knowledge in the world).
While that sounds like it could be a handy superpower, knowing all the answers to everything, it doesn't really play out like that. The kids are gathered up to live together and the government, among others, are very interested in how to best utilize these kids' powers. Other side effects of knowing everything also show the unexpected downside to this ability.
The novel ends on a cliffhanger, setting up the story perfectly for a sequel. I think fans of superpowers and graphic novels would enjoy The Omniscients.

The cover reminded me of Runaways, so it's not surprising that I was interested. I also liked the synopsis, so I requested the book on NetGalley. Fortunately, my request was accepted.
One of the main considerations for me in comics is the art style. I gave it 4/5 stars for that. It looked nice, but nothing outstanding.
I liked the story a little bit better, but it was still 4/5 stars. I felt the Runaways-vibe all the way through. The story was running on too many threads, sometimes I lost a little bit. There were a lot of characters, too, so I couldn’t really remember them. Still, I enjoyed the story. A lot of things are still obscured, but it piqued my interest.
Overall, I liked the comic. It had mistakes, it isn’t perfect, but there are lots of potential in it, I’d like to continue the story.

Hungarian version:
A borító a Runawayst jutatta eszembe, így rögtön elkezdtem érdeklődni utána. Fülszöveg is tetszett, így jelentkeztem NetGalley-n a könyvre. Szerencsére, elfogadták a jelentkezésem.
Képregénynél az egyik fő szempont számomra a rajzstílus. Erre 4/5 csillagot adnék. Szép volt, semmi kiemelkedő.
A történet kicsit jobban tetszett, de még mindig 4/5 csillag. Itt is végig megvolt a Runaways-hatást. Kicsit úgy éreztem túl sok szálon fut a történet, néha kicsit elvesztem. Szereplőkből is sok volt számomra, így nem nagyon tudtam megjegyezni őket. Ennek ellenére élveztem a történetet. Sok mindent még homály fed, de felkeltette az érdeklődésem.
Összességében tetszett a könyv. Voltak hibái, nem tökéletes a könyv, de van benne sok potenciál, szeretném folytatni.

Bright coloring and good blocking overlook the typical trope of diversity marking this new hero comic entitled Omniscients about a group of teens suddenly acquiring the skill. So far, the series presents the teens(new heroes), the government, and scientific groups in hot-pursuit and the chase. It doesn’t tackle how did they acquire this skill or the breadth of the skill. It does propose a fun ride in starting off, and I can’t wait to see where Dugomier takes us next.

This would be great for anyone looking for a new, innovative comic.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

If you like superhero stuff, you might like this! I enjoyed the mysterious nature and conspiracy aspect of how the teens got their power. And I loved that they were smarter than the adults too! My absolute favorite part is the irony that they’re omniscient but the reader has the ultimate omniscience. The cliff hanger has me looking forward to the mystery of how the receive their powers!

Personal Rating - 7.5/10

Knowledge is fragile. What if all the knowledge were accessible to 5 teenagers through an unexplainable phenomenon? How would the world react? How would the government react? And what of their families?
The Omniscients sets out to explore these themes with a diverse cast of teens who are being kept at a villa without the knowledge of what is in store for them.

I loved Diego's perspective as an immigrant, and how this part of his identity shapes how he behaves and reacts to what is happening around them. I also liked Jessica's dynamics with her family. The Art and Colouring of the book matched well, but I have to say the colouring is very much visually pleasing

Something I didn't like as much was that the dialogue was a bit cheesy at times and the pacing of the story is faster than optimal. I'd like to know the characters a bit more deeply before continuing. It'd be amazing if we got a bit more time with the characters as they discovered their sudden superpowers.

That said, I hope to continue reading through the series and see where it leads.
