Naomi #5

Alan Rapp / May 21, 2019 / Comics

Title: Naomi #5
Comic Vine: link
Writers: Brian Michael Bendis, David Walker
Artist: Jamal Campbell

We all need a best-friend like Annabelle. Naomi #5 fills in the missing pieces to Naomi‘s story both through flashbacks to the cave and through Naomi telling her best friend that she’s from an alternate Earth, has super-powers, and that her adoptive parents are aliens from outer space. Annabelle takes things pretty well.

Through the artifact, which she absorbs into her skin, Naomi not only unlocks her god-like powers, but also receives a message from her long-lost biological parents explaining who she is, the world she is from, and why they were forced to send her away to keep her safe from another mad god on their own Earth who wanted the child dead. All things considered, Naomi takes things pretty well, too.

Batman & the Outsiders #1

Alan Rapp / May 14, 2019 / Comics

Title: Batman & the Outsiders #1
Comic Vine: link
Writer: Bryan Edward Hill
Artist: Dexter Soy

DC Comics relaunches the Outsiders with Batman & the Outsiders #1 putting together a team of Black Lightning, Katana, Orphan, and Signal together under Batman‘s loose supervision. The first issue gives us a look at the team under Black Lightning’s command still struggling to come together in the field (with several characters struggling with their own issues).

The comic also introduces the team’s first mission as Batman sends the group after Sopia Ramos, the sole survivor of a secret organization Batman destroyed years before that hoped to create their own super-heroes. When her father is killed, Sofia’s powers are activated and she is hunted. The Outsiders aren’t the first to find her, but neither is Ra’s al Ghul (who apparently is behind the attack on the young woman and her father).

Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #8

Alan Rapp / May 9, 2019 / Comics

Title: Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #8
Comic Vine: link
Writer: Seanan McGuire
Artist: Takeshi Miyazawa

Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #8 offers a fun standalone issue of a day in the life of a perky super-hero. There’s also more than a little trouble for our heroine who goes to Harry Osborne for help with her new symbiote and looses control while dealing with a group of muggers. There’s also the mysterious disappearance of the one scientist who may help Gwen with her recent troubles.

The real trouble, however, comes later in the issue when the Mary Janes performance is targeted by a bomber forcing Spider-Gwen to steal the spotlight from MJ (yeah, she’s not living that down any time soon) in an attempt to save both her bandmates and the crowd (who mistakenly believe it’s all part of the show) from the bomb.
