I think it is a great read! I especially loved the first Chapter about Echo.
As Iam writing a University paper about it I am focusing on the relationship between Echo on the People she is helping. It was hard to read that when Echo has a chance to see her future the prognosis was pretty bad. Her declining the invitation to stay there and the chance to a more peaceful life is something that just shows how incredible her character is.
Truly a masterpiece!

Indigenous Voices #1 features three of my favorite Native writers: Rebecca Roanhorse, Darcie Little Badger, & Stephen Graham Jones.
The introduction to the series was crisp and compelling without being overstuffed. Rebecca's story of Maya is a gorgeous meditation of possibility. Darcie's tale captures the minefield of coming of age, and holds a powerful message for the impact of mentors and compassion across identities. Stephen's piece, true to form, is sharp and pulls no punches, and is splattered with both compassion and duty to protect at all costs. I adore this comic and will be back to read it again!

My fav story in this was, "Mirage: multifaceted" (with Dani Moonstar) it had a very classic X-Men story vibe, the art is while not wow, nice too.
I liked the art for "Silver fox: Blue moon", but i am not familar with this characters and felt like i missed context here.

Three stories based on Marvel. In each very short story a well-known Marvel character shows up. In summary not a great offering. The last one stood out. It was difficult to get a good grip on this, as the stories were very short.
“Hugo, Nebula, and Locus-award winning Black/Ohkay Owingeh writer Rebecca Roanhorse and Tongva artist Weshoyot Alvitre tell an Echo tale like none you’ve heard before.“
Anatomically off and I’m not a fan of the colouring. The artwork is not a winner. The story was ok, but didn‘t do much for me either. ★★☆☆☆
“Geoscientist and Lipan Apache writer Darcie Little Badger joins acclaimed Whitefish Lake First Nation artist Kyle Charles for a Dani Moonstar story that’s out of this world!“
The artwork is better. I also preferred the story of a mutant teenager in trouble a lot more. This is X-Men, coming to the rescue… I liked [b:Elatsoe|49089632|Elatsoe|Darcie Little Badger|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1581002562l/49089632._SX50_.jpg|71388826] by Darcie Little Badger, so it was nice to see that she delivers in a different medium. ★★★½☆
“And Bram Stoker-winning horror writer Stephen Graham Jones of the Blackfeet Nation teams up with Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation artist David Cutler to revisit one of the darkest spots of X-Men history!“
I didn‘t particularly like [b:The Only Good Indians|52180399|The Only Good Indians|Stephen Graham Jones|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601545259l/52180399._SY75_.jpg|71431671], so I had low expectations, when I read the author’s name. However, I immediately liked the artwork.
I liked this one. Good story, albeit with a reference that I‘m not getting. I recognize the Marvel character, but I am missing the backstory. Still, this one was good all around and the best of this collection. ★★★★☆
