This is for the super hero and haters alike! Even though Nubia is a super, she’s also just a teenage girl and in that is she incredibly relatable.

whatisjordyreading's review

i won't give this book a star rating (not yet anyway). it's illustrated beautifully but the content.......whew. it's triggering. this book should come w/ a trigger warning or a content warning-- something!
this book's content hits too close to home for me to enjoy it. art style & colours are gorgeous tho.

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.
