Omega 2090 #1 is a comic written by Paul Thayer with art by Samuel Marques and colors by Prasad Rao. A military group takes on one last mission before heading home. This is a futuristic science fiction story with a large cast and a large amount of violence. The leading man for this story is General Jon Evans, he runs the team that specializes in dangerous life-threatening missions. There are a few standout members on this team from the headstrong Ti to the large and pink-haired Bruta. Everyone here is a soldier-type with the haircuts and demeanor that entails. The story begins with a group of soldiers flying towards a well-guarded location where children are being held hostage by a group called Shidan. They start firing almost immediately and with that their violent mission is underway. This takes place in the year 2090 and it is connected to the Project Naosis comic series. The violence here is very bloody and gory with body part separation being a common occurrence. The pacing is slower than average as there can be a lot of words and information to take in. The tone is serious with potential death in the air and the intensity is high almost the entire time. The dialogue is conversational with a bunch of back-and-forths as well as narration from Evans. There are at least a couple wordy pages. This is an exciting comic with a large cast and an interesting story that’ll have you asking questions.

            The art here is very detailed and drawn in a modern style with a focus on lighting and shading. The color range here is overall wide but the main colors will see are browns and blues, which fits both the military and sci-fi theme. The scenery is desert-like along with being hilly and mountainous. The first half of the story takes place in Afghanistan in a smart-looking facility while the latter half is in a city. Both places seem very futuristic with that cold sci-fi feel. The backgrounds show the surroundings of the scene more often than not but they can be gradient colors with optional action lines. The expression level here is average as these are military-types so a hard look is the most common one. We do see some happier and fearful emotions on display but anger and determination are the most seen. The faces here are well drawn with realistic features with the wear and tear of life, due to these things all the looks come across clearly. The violence here comes mainly at the end of a gun with blood and gore at a high rate. The action scenes tend to be lengthy with a high amount of panels that help it all flow well.
