The second instalment in this series has similar strengths and weaknesses to its predecessor. Once again, the beginning part is good, showing Naomi coming to terms with her new superpowers and how the world is reacting to her. On the other hand, the supporting characters get less to do than they might, with the focus on all her new friends in the Justice League. Her foster father is also quite an arse, but that may be intentional and overall it's a decent examination of how such experiences might change someone.
But then we get to the second part and there's an excessively long fight that at times it's quite difficult to follow. Naomi gets to learn new tricks with her powers that make her overly potent; it's not that she doesn't have any vulnerabilities, and she's still an engaging character but it's going to be hard to find plausible foes going forward without at least including some equivalent of kryptonite. This may well be why we get the ending we do, leaving the possibility open for a sequel if DC wants one, but not having her involved with the mainstream activities of the Justice League et al.
