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.
