When you stay up late into the night feverishly reading a book you just can’t put down (even if it weighs a ton) and seriously consider flipping back to page one when you’ve finished, I think it’s safe to say you’ve found something special. Special is what Joe Graham’sOmni: History Begins is all about.
Set in the year 2012, History Begins is a magnificent work of superfiction, a genre not often found outside of comic books. This is one story that doesn’t start off with an ordinary boy.Eleven-year-old Joseph Pringle is what’s considered a “near miss” in a world rife with super humans.

It got me thinking how awesome it would be if there actually were superheroes on the Real World. Believe me, that would be the next logical step if they were real.

I think Booster Gold or Guy Gardner would be the really obnoxious guy who’s always trying to get laid. Starfire would be perfect, she’d walk around naked all the time. Freddy Freeman, the virgin. Scandal, the lesbian. Wonder Girl would probably be the resident blonde with Catwoman as her frenemy throughout the season. And of course, Roy Harper, the guy with the troubled past.
Of course that’s just using DC characters, we could do a whole other list with Marvel or mix and match. Who would you cast?
