The follow up may be weak, but for me it isn't a reason to not support new characters, especyalli those, like Naomi, which seems set to explore new or forgotten corners of the DCU without resorting only to nostalgia (hence why the Young Justice Comics isn't interesting me : I'm too afraid it'll be like the 90's one, where the humour was so characteristically US-based back then that I never managed to connect with the characters - quite the contrary, my attempt to read this series soured me on Tim Drake, Connor Kent and Bart Allen).
Naomi's main selling point, to me, seems to be the exploration of very mundane questions (what does an adoptee kid feels, the search for his or her biological parents, etc.), but with a spin : Naomi may be tied to something huge in the DCU. How does one reconcile a mundane early life with such a sudden revelation, when one isn't a décades old character and thus free to evolve in bold new ways (I'm looking at you, Superman, who fits most of the same basic tropes as Naomi, apparently) ?
