America, Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera, Joe Quiñones
5.0
I requested that my library add this book to their collection, and they succeeded in doing so in not only a gracious, but also timely manner. And I'm so glad it arrived when it did, because I had a day off and sped through it. The first of this serial comprises 5 (I think?) of the individual comics, which also include Kate Bishop (my HEART)!
I loved the art styles, and I'm loving the plot. My only critique is that some of the dialogue didn't seem too realistic, but hey, as I'm sure y'all can tell from my icon, I'm white and I try not to use a lot of POC slang on account of cultural appropriation, so it's entirely possible that latinx communities speak with a lot more slang than I do. That's totally a statement up for grabs.
But overall, I absolutely loved it. I've loved America Chavez ever since I read the first Young Avengers, and she is so, so, deserving of this series.
