Hi! @Jay_Kay

@Jay_Kay

I figured I would just read the first issue and go on to something else…ended up reading it all in one sitting.

Same.

@Jay_Kay

Since their origins have quite a bit in common, I’d love to see her interact with Superman and his extended family.

They do have lot in common!

@Jay_Kay

I think when the real talk about the origins came out. As I was reading I was equal parts intrigued and frustrated: like “okay, now we got what’s really going on with Nao–wait, no?” This happened almost once an issue, really.

Yeah, her origin story kept going up a notch!

Thanks for dropping by and sharing! @Jay_Kay

Hey there! @Lecouch84

@Lecouch84

I think she took it very well from supporting her, to understanding her, to the just being there for her friend and not to mention that she understood everything pretty much without it being repeated.

She was a great friend to Naomi!

@Lecouch84

Some characters that I would like to see Naomi have some page time with are Adam Strange, either Hawkman or Hawkgirl or Green Lantern.

Nice picks! That would be fun to read.

@Lecouch84

My favorite moments were any time Naomi dad and Dee we’re trying to one up each other

Thanks for sharing the beautiful panels and for reading along! I’m happy you were able to read it

Hi! @carpenters77

@carpenters77

Hope that 2nd season happens. Cannot wait for more.

Me too!

@carpenters77

The conversation between Annabelle and Naomi about the “big” news is my favorite part of the story. Both Naomi’s telling of the story and Annabelle’s reaction seemed real to me…they way two teenagers would speak and react. Even the fact that Naomi had to tell her best friend was very real. Also, the conversation was funny.

I agree - especially about how they would be as teenagers.

@carpenters77

Stargirl - There are some similarities and differences in both characters. Would be nice to see how that plays out. Or maybe the show is on my mind too much.
Superman & Supergirl - somewhat obvious. Still nice to Naomi receive support from them given the similarities in their stories.
Wonderwoman - Because Diana is a good mentor to have.

I totally forgot Stargirl! That would be awesome! Nice picks!

@carpenters77

As previously stated, the conversation between Naomi and Annabelle at the end is my favorite. My second favorite is the conversation between Naomi and her parents about her background. Several good and funny moments in that conversation too.

Fantastic!

Thank you so much for reading along and for letting us know what you thought of the book.

Hi! @CassTheStreet

So glad you could read it with us!

@CassTheStreet

It seemed a little more human than I am used to comics portraying. In a Superman world, her reaction seemed very appropriate. It appeared to be coming from a true unconditional love.

It really did, it was beautiful.

@CassTheStreet

The character that kept coming to mind was my old moniker, Princess Amethyst. Their stories seem very similar in some regards and vastly different in others. I think they would be able to be good friends. I looked at the character history and there is a chance that I might be able to actually see this interaction, as it appears Naomi goes to Young Justice where Amethyst has been a main player. Wonder if they did interact and how that went. Seems like I know another title I am going to have to read!

Yes! That would be great! More PrincessA is always good. I need to figure out where she shows up in Young Justice.

@CassTheStreet

this story felt more humanistic then a lot of other comics

I couldn’t quite figure out what was different about this comic, and I think you nailed it with this!

@CassTheStreet

The characters had distinct personalities, which can be hard to do in print. I also loved the connection to the different elements of the DC Universe, such as Rann and Thanagar.

So true and I loved the connections as well.

Thank you so much for reading along and for sharing your reflections and thoughts on the book!

@JLWWSM

I need to figure out where she shows up in Young Justice.

Naomi shows up in issue #10 it appears of the newest Young Justice series. We are up to issue #7 on here, I looked for ya. PrincessA on the other hand is there in like issue 1, I believe.

Thank you so much!
