I compared Noble V1: God Shots to the X-Men movie Logan or the TV series Gifted but this second volume comes right after Black Panther has made Afrofuturism a utopian response to the violent struggles of African Americans that birthed movements like #blacklivesmatter.
Noble is not quite the political statement that Black Panther is, however, I appreciate the strong role models of African Americans in this series. David finally remembers his wife Astrid and his son Eli. He is committed to his family and to being a present father in his son's life, but he is also aware that his new powers give him the obligation to save the world, so he understands the "with great power comes great responsibility" motto from Spiderman.
Granted this volume ends right before the action starts, however, the artwork and the vibrant colors of this comic really create an aesthetically pleasing story.
Description:
After months of hiding in South America and running from the ever-watchful eye of the Foresight Corporation, David has begun to fill in the gaps to his missing memories. Armed with a new suit, David continues his search for answers to regain his lost identity.
Meanwhile, Astrid continues her mission to bring David back home. Their reunion and David’s missing memories of her leave her emotionally raw but more determined to bring him back to their family. With aid from an unlikely ally in Lorena Payan, the two combine forces to bring David back while fighting off Doctor DeMarcus Mayes’s newly formed group of enhanced humans.
Collecting the second arc of Catalyst Prime’s Noble series with art by series regular Roger Robinson and Jamal Igle (Supergirl, Black) is collected in this action packed second volume!
Last Words:
I'll save them all.
