Urban exploration, ghosts, and mystery...and that in graphic novel form. If that doesn't scream exciting, I'm not sure what does.

Alex and Julie are an odd pair of friends at school, but in the evening, they like nothing better than to explore all sorts of forgotten buildings and such. When they enter an abandoned villa, they are shocked no other urban explorers have beat them to it. As they look around, they run into a pair of twin ghosts, and while frightening, even more things change to create an unexpected mystery.

The graphics are well done and really bring the atmosphere to life with all of the tension, shadows, and chilling moments. The text flows well and balances these out as it should. There were a lot of strange things happening, and each one was impossible to to figure out where it was leading, which keeps tension high. Mystery weaves in among the paranormal thrills, adding interesting twists, especially since it leads in a totally different direction than might be expected. There's a bit of spook, some action, mystery, psychological hints, and difficult themes of abuse and such. So, this is an intriguing mish-mash on the genre end.

Alex and Julie are interesting characters, and I appreciate that the two are just friends. Romance doesn't come into play, nor does it need to. The adventures and paranormal story lines already put enough on their plates. Plus, Julie has some other issues surrounding her home life. Unfortunately, these aren't really fleshed out in this first book, which is too bad, since, at least, a hint would have been helpful. But it is the first book.

There is a lot going on in this tale, and while it keeps the story moving along (although there were a few moments, that it was a bit on the slow end—which surprised me), it was a bit too much on the theme end. The ghost twins, the super abilities, and the secrets surrounding the villa already create a rich plot. By adding visions, a man with sensitive issues that need to be solved (and this entire line wasn't handled well, imo), Julie's family whatevers, and a psychology angle, which I'm not sure where that's going yet, this grew a bit confusing, at times.

But all in all, it's intriguing and definitely offers an original twist, which mixes various genres. It will be interesting to pick up Tome 2 and see where all of this is going. But if tome 2 doesn't smooth over some holes, this won't be one I'll continue after that. I received a complimentary copy through Netgalley.

Bonne continuité, mais cet album se termine sur une non-fin. C'est comme si il manquait des pages. Dommage.

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.

**This was a review copy given by Goodreads in exchange for an honest review**

A couple of 13-year-old boys start a resistance movement against the Nazi occupation of a small French town in 1940. Some events credited to the lads seemed unlikely, making me question the verisimilitude of the work. And the boys personalities were pretty one-note -- the hothead and the shy one -- so there wasn't much to pull me into the story regardless.
