12 major Marvel and DC comic book moments fans should know about (April)
By Mark Lynch
6. Naomi and the Justice League
Comic book: Justice League No. 60
Black Adam approaches Naomi in the hopes of getting information on the man who invaded Kahndaq . Their conversation is interrupted by Superman. They both know that Naomi has a connection to the place Brutus came from. Instead of fighting, Superman brings them both to the Hall of Justice to see if there’s any way she can help them going forward.
She may not know who Brutus is, but she’s been to his home world. Flash creates a version of the Cosmic Treadmill to bring the Justice League over to Brutus’ world. Naomi closes her eyes as they slide there. When she opens them, the Justice League is nowhere to be found.
Why is this important?
This is Naomi’s first real mission in the big leagues. She may have fought off a powerful villain, but now she’s alone in their world with no way of getting back. On top of that, the Justice League is gone. Who knows what happened to them. They could be caught in between dimensions or still be on Earth Prime.
The most important part here is Naomi. We’re going to see what she can really do. She’s still new to DC Comics and being a superhero. This writer fully expects writer Brian Michael Bendis to make this Naomi’s coming out party.
