Of all the books writer Brian Michael Bendis has been working on since his move to DC Comics, one of the most mysterious has been Naomi, the story of a young woman who may or may not have a secret superhero origin.
This issue wraps up the initial mini-series, though it seems obvious that we'll be seeing more of her in the near future.
And while we do learn something about her true origins, there's still quite a few mysteries to uncover - and we have yet to learn just what her powers allow her to do, aside from generating fancy light effects.
There's a lot to like here - certainly Naomi is one of the few comic book teens who actually talks and acts like a teenager - and the story moves along briskly - but it still feels very incomplete, with many more questions waiting to be answered.
But it's a solid start for the new character, and the art by amal Campbell is fresh and striking.
Judging by the cover, Naomi's appearances in DC Comics is just getting warmed up. Great!
Grade: B+
