Naomi has been wondering who are her real parents and this question will lead her to a mysterious man who has been living in her town all this time.
This worked a bit better than the first one but at the same time I've qualms about calling it a full improvement.
Brian Bendis and David Walker deliver a new chapter that continues exactly where the last one ended with Naomi asking the Metahuman-looking mechanic of the town about what he really knows. What I think works better in this issue is that the dialogue is not nearly as annoying in the first installment, there are less jumping narration balloons that distract you from the read and the lines have an overall better flow. Don't get me wrong, it is still pretty Bendis talk but at least is more tolerable.
What is not as tolerable is how little this chapter progressed the plot. The first one was pure set-up but at least made me believe that something different would happen in this issue but that's not really the case since Naomi still has the same doubts that she had before. In fact, the same question keeps being repeated during the whole read, it leaves a few hints here and there but there are barely anything and to add insult to the injury, the issue ends pretty much the same way the first one did with Naomi interrogating the Metahuman mechanic about the same topic which makes me feel like we're back to square one.
Jamal Campbell's artwork is still stunning, delivering the kind of expression and energy that a book with young people like this require.
Aside from that, boy this felt pointless. Not sure if things will be better.
