America, Vol. 1

I loved the way women showed up for each other in this comic and the characterization. But…aside from this, it was a bit painful to read. A little too flowery/elevated/abstract in its focus—but this works for Rivera in her other works (loved Juliet Takes a Breath). America is not for me, but I do recommend if anyone else feels this way as well, to still check out Rivera’s work because she is awesome.

I am glad America Chavez exists. She's a pretty typical superhero except for all the reasons that she is not. She's a powerful WoC who gets to act just like the white dudes in the superhero world, and the book relies on a lot of Hispanic cultural norms and ideas in a way that I have never seen in a Marvel or DC book before. It's a refreshing shift to see someone new who brings a different background to these worlds. 

The downside is that this is a traditional superhero comic and I find myself becoming more and more bored with them. But that's okay and it doesn't make the book bad. It just means I'm growing out of these sorts of narratives. This book, in particular, is really aimed at the teen crowd which is great to see!

The last page was probably my favorite out of the whole thing like man I love this girl. It's exciting to see her outside of the pages of Young Avengers.
