Jamal Campbell's art is breathtaking. It's beautifully detailed in its style and the character designs and colors jump off the page at several points throughout. Read Full Review
To say this issue is amazing and a thing of wonder is an understatement. The team has put together an origin issue far into their narrative. The issue delivers and does so in an amazing way. This series, and this comic in particular, recreates the magic of my childhood. Naomi #5 is a marriage of a wonderful narrative and beautiful artwork. It's also a series that's woefully overlooked and one of the best superhero comics on the market today. Read Full Review
Naomi continues to be a gem of a comic to behold, even it doesn't quite stick the landing this issue with its origin reveal. Regardless, it's gorgeous, and shouldn't be missed! Read Full Review
Jamal Campbell produces some terrific art to go along with with this modern-take on a Superman-like origin story. Now that the prologue is done, it's time for Naomi to discover just what she can do (before the monster her parents hid her from destroys her world as well). Must-read. Read Full Review
Jamal Campbell's art is just gorgeous. I cannot sing the praises of his art enough. The characters are just so human and expressive. Read Full Review

Next issue promises a conclusion to Naomis introductory story. I didnt have very high expectations for the book when it began, but now I find myself eagerly awaiting the resolution. Read Full Review
The fifth issue of Naomi feels a bit unbalanced. Had her past been framed with more of an active integration with present action, this issue could have been sheer joy. The lagging backstory weighing-down the middle of the story isnt given enough impact to make it feel particularly strong. Emotional excitement and impending danger are compelling. The generic space fantasy backstory tethered to the middle of the issue keeps it from its potential. Read Full Review
Naomi finally learned her origin, but the way the information was presented made it read like some of this would have been better served spread out over some of the earlier issues. Most of the issue is Naomi repeating a story to her best friend in the middle of the night. It's the fastest way to convey a lot of information, but doesn't always make for the smoothest read. Read Full Review
As for the art, there really isn’t more you can say about Campbell and his beautiful, expression heavy style. When reading Naomi, you can feel the existent, the fear, the joy, and all the emotions emanating off of the characters. It’s a perfect complement to the script. Read Full Review

This is the issue that answers almost all of our questions! Where we learn all about Naomi's past. Who are her birth parents? Where did she come from? Does she have special powers? All the secrets are revealed in Naomi #5. You can't miss this issue if you are a fan of the series. It really is a solid origin story and actually, a fun read. Some crazy things are revealed that are going to affect the DCU big time and sets up what seems to be an exciting next issue. Read Full Review
Still, this is better than the previous issue. There are revelations that I wasn't terribly moved by, but at least they happened more gradually. But even when I wasn't moved, the art made my eyes light up. It's incredible. Read Full Review
Naomi's origin is finally revealed, and it's an interesting one with unclear implications on the greater DC Universe. Read Full Review
Naomi has almost no disappointments. Read Full Review
Little is bad here, but it doesn't feel like the scope of the story is really served well by the format. Read Full Review
Jamal Campbell's evolution as an artist is a joy to witness and despite its stumbles, Naomi works because of the heart and soul he helps bring to the book. Read Full Review
While we do get some much-needed information in this issue, we are still left waiting for more. The first half of the book is pretty much recap of the last issue, but by the end, I was excited for the next issue. Jamal Campbell's art is great and if you have the patience to go through six issues for an origin story, you may like this a bit more than me. I am a fan of Naomi, I just need to get more each issue to be able to recommend to everyone. Read Full Review
After years of wishing she could be someone special, Naomi finds out that she is " and trouble is hot on her heels! Read Full Review
When I opened Naomi #5 I was totally turned off by the opening exchange between Naomi and her best friend, Anna. It was peak Bendis speak along with the repetition of dialogue and panels.
About several pages into the comic the tone shifts and by the end, we get one of the most heartfelt origin issues for a new character in modern comics. The second half of the issue is so strong that it's pretty hard to recommend readers not start here. If you've read #1 this would be a perfectly fine follow-up issue. Which sucks because this is a 6 issue mini-series.
There is a ton of fluff in this series but the payoff is amazing which also highlights how bad editorial is at DC comics. We've recently learned that a third of th more
Wow! So much to handle. A really well made emotional, tragic and hopeful origin story just like Superman's but a lot different at the same time, no wonder Naomi can relate to Supes. Campbell's art is top notch here. Congratulations Bendis! for such a character work.
I am slightly disappointed. I was so convinced she was a new Lantern since the insignia looked like part of the emotional spectrum, with that said it is still gorgeous and a very interesting way to introduce a new character.

A penultimate issue of Naomi is here and it keeps the quality set by previous issues. So if you enjoyed them like I did, you will definitely enjoy this one.
After the revelation of who Naomi's parents are it's time to learn about her. So, yeah the issue is a bit backstory heavy, but Bendis and Walker keep it a nice and smooth read with good dialogue and fun story, and Jamal Campbell is just going crazy on the art. It is sooo good.
I'm really surprised by how much I grew to like the character of Naomi.
Lots of reading, that wish they combine issue 1&2 and spread this out a bit. Only thing caring about this character is what powers she has.
I don't know what I should do, read and bore the hell out of myself with dialogues or read the dialogues and trying to understand what is going, wait...
Finding new frontiers in exposition is truly the most noble pursuit.
Yeah, you've worn me down.
