Set Description:
Naomi McDuffie, with Mentor Dee is taking it upon herself to learn and fight the good fight, with the hope of making it through school as well. A CW show that made it one season before letting loose, this six-issue short run had its day of action and simmering. A lighthearted, in a way, series that has some nostalgia for school days! Where the heroes have the daily life to work out as well, it calls back to a simpler DC time! Those youngsters fill up some of the covers, and they are all grown up!
Having Superpowers does not automatically make you successful! It also takes tutelage and the correct format in style to make the front-page news! Plenty to come before and after, looking back we see who can give it another try to make the cut.
"Naomi" is a respectful name with honor from a culture that helps you become a lineage with a Boaz. This comic takes issue of this Naomi trying to find of where she comes from and what gave her the "power" to be special. It comes that way to find kin and redeem the time she spent looking, to then become all that she can. A plot kind of twist that arcs the six-issue series, with some character building being the finished product. She may again find usefulness in what she brings to the table of discussion for others and the representing of said pastime story facts and portrayals. To be honest, we all come from somewhere and whether currently of honor we cannot tell, save the future where we are all making our choices now, and for the better. To learn of these decisions in some filter is the culture we have passed down, and those circumstances do not always clue us in on which way to go. Some things come by faith, hope and love, we all see them in our day by day, with others to seek it for as well along the way!

1st appearance of Naomi McDuffie. A discovery being made makes one inquisitive enough to "seek out new worlds and new civilizations!" What a short run of books can accomplish will be innovative enough to draw attention to the plot for a while in the early 2020's. That in itself took some time, and after settling back down, it had its day of fun in the sun, which is a good thing to get out and read new iterations that one might not normally pickup of their own inclination. We need to expand with those ideas but sticking to the straight and narrow outcomes. This series tends to lend a bit of that focus, while it didn't last long as a production, it is a fun side note that got attention for the dollar bin dives, thrill of the hunt, and otherwise comic collecting that still captures this readers eye. One Day at a time, and one foot in front of the other, diligent and faithful in small things gives some answers to those inquisitive "common man" attributes in this series!
Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen at the prescreen" of, "Argylle!" A similarly discovered truth drives the plot like Naomi, that subconsciously we all have an inner self that will know the truth if we dare to seek it out and believe it! The Faith to find the WORD that sets us free and the knowledge of THAT WORD OF TRUTH, as "FREE" it certainly will!

Brian Michael Bendis & David F. Walker story, Jamal Campbell cover & art! There are Campbell's among us! 1st Zumbado! Another Spring Break 2024 find, with a bit of trade in, to round out a set of more than one slab in this series to be collected. A first full or otherwise appearance of Zumbado! Wrapping up the series in a quick 6 issue run is this last issue. The series had media attention, with similarly in grade finds in the wild. Part Alien and Part getting to the bottom of things, this run takes the simple details to find powers useful and for the good of oneself to heart! Naomi is a new type of series that got fame in speculation corners, and I got it for $20 in trade and out the door, with a New Avenger's slab as well for the same cost. In CGC 9.8 no less! Glad to have made the trip on this rainy day in Spring, that has arrived, and with a Break for comics before getting on with the chores and life worth living. Titan comics has bargain slab bins, and a few minor finds from them in the collection, including this one.
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides of course! To issue #1, however, as it was found for $2 and will be sent off to CGC, I need a picture of the "insides" before it is encapsulated! Those are some spicey first pages and yet those are of Superman himself, and Naomi takes further issues to get down to any action of her own on a SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY or other motorcross sport play by play.
