Naomi (2019-) #1 by Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker, Jamal Campbell, Emanuela Lupacchino
mysterious
slow-paced
4.0
First, let's also give credit to Bendis AND David Walker for their work on this! They did an amazing job introducing a new character to the DC main universe especially when that can be tricky.
It's always a little difficult rating single issues because they don't contain much content. Naomi is a product of Wonder Comics which is an imprint of DC. This imprint was established to create new characters and revive old characters. Of course, this is a tricky thing to do especially when you're dealing avid comic readers. Nevertheless, I think Bendis and Walker did a great job with this. Readers are introduced to Naomi through a sighting of Superman in her hometown. Of course, this stirs up feelings within the residents as well as Naomi. Contemplating her background as an adopted orphan, Naomi begins to search for her origins. There is word spreading throughout town that there was a superhero/being that appeared before Superman. Naomi hunts to figure out who this individual is and it ends on a cliffhanger. There were some interesting references in this issue (the new 52 included). I did get a little bored with the "obsession" with Superman. It came off a little repetitive. The artwork was PHENOMENAL. Campbell and Lupacchino showed out with the attention to detail and the realistic depictions of characters. The frames that included close ups were breathtakingly beautiful. If you haven't heard of Naomi, I would definitely recommend checking it out.
