I enjoyed the colorful characters created in this Marvel multiverse. America is bold, as it's the writer/creator of her story. I hope her story can be expanded even more in the future, beyond the two volumes available now.

3 stars for the story, bumped up to 4 for freshness and for the gorgeous illustrations.

Layers upon layers upon layers of parallels between America Chavez’s fictional story and the very real experience of many queer bipoc people. I don’t want to give too much away so suffice it to say : This book is Medicine.

Really loved this. Whole new back story, whole new Marvel mythos. Bringing diversity and providing an icon for a new era.Fighting fascism and punching Nazis (...but with a plan of course).What’s not to love?

I like this even more than the first one! I really felt like I got a better sense of the world, and I liked seeing America grow from volume 1 to 2. Wish this was ongoing.

'Never met a fight I couldn't win.'All in all, I think this series achieved what it set out to achieve which was to shine a light on America's unknown backstory after she left the Utopian Parallel at age 6 and make her aware of her roots. I LOVED the idea of Berraca and Sanar, two cosmic entities creating a planet together full of women. Really, it's like Themyscira in space Marvel styles. However, the whole thing with the La Légion ended up being quite unbelievable and unrealistic. (view spoile...

Read july 2018: 4.5ish stars. I appreciated everything this volume— this series— set out to do. I love America, love her backstory, and can’t wait for her future. Thank you Gabby Rivera for giving us this amazing fuertona. Pre-read: Haven’t read this yet but have to offset the fucker who preemptively gave it one star?? Quién te crees??

This book left me feeling like it was trying too hard to be on trend. It was a little incoherent in places; it felt like superhero comics for the Twitter generation. I'm probably not the target audience, though; as a 42 year old, it made me feel oooooollllld.Still, I can't give it less than three stars, as the artwork, for the most part, was gorgeous... and I do like the character.

America Series Ratings: America, Vol. 1: ★★★ America, Vol. 2: Lost Interest in Series__I read this book as part of my 2018 Library Love binge, where I read as many library books as possible to take advantage of my great local library network before I move interstate! To follow my binge reading adventure just visit my 2018 Library Love shelf! I'll also be posting about it in my monthly wrap ups on my blog—I keep trying with Marvel and DC and it just never lives up to my expectations. I think some...

So much improvement over volume one! (Which is already enjoyable, so that's saying something.) I loved getting learn more about America's past and I'm sad so see this series end.

I read issues 8 through 12 all at once, because they were kind of confusing and too convoluted to review individually. But America is my favorite and this gets political, so 3.5, rounding up. Issue 7: Jen Bartel's art in this is BEAUTIFUL. She's the perfect artist to have done this beginning section about the universe/planet (love the queerness, also)."Sometimes, when their absense becomes hard to bear, I remind myself that my daughter and her wife, your mothers, exist in every particle3 of the...

Slightly better than the 1st volume, at least there was a plot here although still somewhat flimsy.I love the character, her origin and universe have a lot of potential, the characters' design and art were fine overall, but I found the execution lacking... which is a pity because I feel that this could have been a great story.

The conclusion of America's solo run is somewhat fun, but not enough to overcome how nonsensical and illogical it is the more thought you give it. Exterminatrix overtaking the Sotomayor school for interdimensional domination is as eye-roll inducing as it sounds, with several unnecessary filler issues that made the whole thing lag, as well as a huge missed opportunity to give Prodigy and X'iandra any further character depth. America was strongest when paired with her grandmother, but then the plo...

An incomprehensible poorly written blob of a book.World: The art is fine, it’s the best thing in the series and it’s colourful and bright and the characters are full of personality. That being said the art is also very weak overall because the story is incomprehensible and things happen on screen that are so choppy that the art itself is also choppy and does the story no favours. I’ve read books where the art helps the writer express what he/she can’t write well but that’s not the case here the

At its best, this is a joy. As in the first issues here, where America gets to bond with the grandmother she never knew, hearing stories of her mothers and of their world before them - especially its lesbian creation myth, which is pretty much Steven Universe minus the infuriating title character, and thus awesome. Elsewhere, it still feels a little too prone to letting the joy of affirmation overtake the story - and I know I'm very much not the target demographic here, but I find that sort of t...

The story's heart is in the right place, but the plotting is just too loopy and jumbled for me. America is a genuinely great character, and I look forward to seeing her return in the future.

Basically nonsensical but not unreadable. I liked bits of this book and the character and the setting has potential. But so much of it was just surface coolness. The relationship between America and her grandmother worked pretty well. And I liked the university. But I'd want a better idea on what the university is about and how it relates to the wider Marvel Universe. This book was basically a multi-plane space book - which usually puts me to sleep - so better than that.

Gabby Rivera does amazing words.

Beautiful art as always, and I absolutely love America Chavez! Unfortunately the last two issues felt very rushed, I feel like everything was at a constant breakneck pace and it could have benefited from some fixes to the pacing.

This volume collects issues 7 through 12 of the comic book series and I can break this review down to the good, the bad, and the sad.The Good: This volume picks up where the previous one left off (I would definitely recommend reading that first) and contains two plot arcs. The first, which picks up from key events in the last book, is dramatic and fun: a rushing, whomping adventure tale. It features the hero trying to save her adopted home and a villain that really gets under one’s skin. I had t...
