I hope that when DC considers a movie or TV show for Nubia, they'll adapt thus version onto the screen. It's very real and up to date to where we are in society

Literally fabulous! I cried and laughed and screamed and was so angry! Fucking white boys!!! This was well written and had amazing drawings. It is very focused on black trauma and the issues with police while also following the story of a young girl and her superpowers.

I loved this and I really hope there's a sequel. This is the first version of DC's Nubia that I've ever read before. I've heard that previous iterations of her character made her pretty one-dimensional and secondary to Diana, so I'm glad this imagining didn't follow suit. It was a lot more intense than I imagined it would be. I loved the art and the narrative overall.
