Omega Paradox #0

Here’s a #0 that is truly a teaser, if I ever read one. Moonstone pushed this at the last Comic Con with #1 scheduled to come out on September. Let me give you a brief rundown on what’s in this issue. It starts out in a university on another planet, in a library no less. When one character tells another that he is being requested, pretty much everyone starts shooting. From there, one group of individuals they are trying to keep alive and get what they need. That’s about as much I can tell you without giving the whole thing away (you all know I try to avoid spoilers).

Well, reading this and it left me wanting more, and not really in the good way. The art is bright and well done. The characters come off the page and you want to hide from the shooting. The paneling was done well and easy to follow. Now we get to the writing. I know they’re trying to tease us and want us to get the premier issue but, for me, I didn’t get the information I wanted. Most of the character’s names were not given and I don’t know why the situation is happening. Basic stuff I want to know to keep me going. It would have helped if there was a hint to the situation.

Now, I really can’t say if I would start reading this series or not. From what I could gather, I might like the story that’s going to occur. But I really can’t say. There’s more that I want to know beforehand. Then again, that could just be me. If you see this issue, the cover art will grab you but the story will probably have you leave it there. In my humble opinion, read it in the store. Then when #1 comes out, buy that one. I give this 3 caps out of 5.
