Naomi (2019-) #1 by Brian Michael Bendis, David F. Walker, Jamal Campbell, Emanuela Lupacchino
4.0
Nothing cool ever happens in town until superman makes a heroic appearance. It took 17 seconds. 17 seconds of superman fighting to protect civilians. Everyone is talking about it. EVERYONE. And of course Naomi missed the whole thing. But, it turns out this wasn't the first time and for some reason no one is talking about what happened in the past.
The first issue really captured my attention. It's not the most original concept, but the mystery is compelling enough to want to continue on to the next issue. This story is giving me Wicked and Divine vibes because we have a fangirl protagonist obsessed with superhero gods and society retelling the narrative through social media despite the story not reaching national headlines. After all, this is just one of many stories.
We get a mystery of "urban legends" that Naomi seeks to unravel and beautiful art. There are moments where we get time lapse panels as if the artist keeps reminding us of the missed time and moments Naomi is obessing over. In turn as readers we also get that feeling of missed moments and missing pieces of the past that contribute to the mystery. I can see why this story is getting a lot of hype and I think everyone should give it a try.
