4.0
*Very mild spoilers, read at your own discretion*
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.
