3 ½ stars for this one. It was interesting, but it also feels like a lot didn’t really happen. There was one major reveal at the end, and even that had more unsaid than said in it.
This issue has Naomi continuing her quest for the truth of what happened the day she was adopted. I don’t think it started out as a quest to find out more about her past…but somewhere along the way it sort of shifted focus for her. I hope that doesn’t bite her in the long run.
I’m still loving the artwork and character designs in this series, so I just want to give a hat tip to that as well.

This one felt shorter than the first, but I am still loving it. I am curious to see what’s the deal with Dee and if he is Naomi’s dad.

I'm not going to lie. This one wasn't as good as the first issue.
The second issue of Naomi was a little lackluster because not a lot happens. Readers get to know a little about Naomi's adoptive parents. Outside of that, we're pretty much left with another cliffhanger. I think that the relationship between Naomi and her adoptive parents is pretty interesting. It's clear that they know more than they are letting on, but outside of that not much occurs. The artwork is still stunning and I'm hoping that more is revealed in issue #3.

Thoughts on this issue:
- Naomi’s parents are so caring, I LOVE IT!!
And her mum is so cool. Just look at her text talk! This is a cool mum!
- Was I the only person genuinely interested in what her parents were talking about during the scene were the panels were getting smaller each time?? I was really interested in their conversation hahah!
- This scene just really made me laugh:
I love how Naomi’s friend thinks Iron Heights sounds like a nice suburb hahahah!
- Once again, beautiful art. Hats off to [a:Jamal Campbell|13636577|Jamal Campbell|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]! Just look at this panel:
- The transition panel between Naomi speaking to her parents and then speaking to her friend on a video call on her laptop that showed a scene of Superman fighting some villains really confused me. A similar panel is shown to transition from Naomi’s conversation with her friend to her sleeping alone. Whilst the panels did look really pretty, they just seemed a bit random and kind of confused me. Like the storyline had gone from suburban house to the middle of a full-blown Superman fight with no explanation. It just seemed a bit odd but I think it was supposed to represent how Naomi was constantly thinking about Superman.
- Although this issue ended with yet another cliffhanger and no actual answers were given to the questions posed in [b:Naomi (2019-) #1|43636779|Naomi (2019-) #1|Brian Michael Bendis|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1548036784s/43636779.jpg|67903765], I still enjoyed this issue. I think Naomi’s character is so genuine and all the dialog between the characters seems so real that this is a comic that is really just about having a glimpse into someone’s life. Which is really interesting for DC because although this is superhero based it’s not superhero-centric and Naomi really helps ground this comic with her genuine emotions and feelings that are accurate to how teens feel.
All in all, don’t expect any answers, but be prepared for some deep emotions and loveable family talk. A relatively short issue that reminds the reader that this comic is ready to deal mental punches to the heart rather than physical punches to the chest.
