What a promising start! Now let's get into what was good and bad...
The good aspects of this issue:
- Fantastic art. (As always) Check this out:
- Interesting and unique characters that all looked and sounded different.
- REPRESENTATION. The main character is a black girl. And yes not every girl is stick thin with huge breasts. This issue is a major win for representation.
- A cute little 52 reference:
- Naomi is very interesting. She's not perfect. She goes to therapy. She has issues. She's kinda obsessed with Superman. She is very curious. You don't know everything about her but she is powerful, the complete driving force of this comic and that is very intriguing.
- The awesome ending and the mystery! I can't wait to see where this is going to go. It’s either going to be very good or extremely disappointing.
The bad aspects of this issue:
- Too much dialogue. There was sooo much talking all clumped together in scenes. It was too much and should've been broken up more.
- A bit repetitive. Everyone constantly talking about Superman for the whole issue when he was there for only 5 seconds. I suppose that was the point, the driving force for Naomi to start asking questions about the previous superhero who came to town, but that didn't stop it from feeling a little bit tired and old the way they kept repeating his name.
In my opinion, this issue really was Bendis' better work compared to [b:Young Justice (2019-) #1|43130288|Young Justice (2019-) #1|Brian Michael Bendis|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1546775023s/43130288.jpg|66931262]. Check out my review for Young Justice issue #1.
