this was so.... good. 
i can tell how much love was put into this graphic novel, which makes reading even more moving...

i really recommend just about anyone to read this, even though there might be scenes u could not relate to, because at it's heart... its so SO real. by writing about teenager issues and especially highlighting experiences that black children and teens go through.

the art is also super 👌 and feels dynamic and fun, with its simplistic style!! makes the reading experience much easier, in my opinion!!! :D

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.

Art: The art took a bit to get used to for me, the colours are nice, the paneling okay, and I always like it when flashbacks are shown in different styles (bonus D.s and Nubias flashbacks are also different from eachother).
Story: I went in blind and the heavy themes kind of hit me by suprise at first, that said it is handled well and I like how the story never forgets that they are just kids/teens.
Her moms are great (also how cool is it that at this age people in media are allowed to be queer casually? I actaully read "moms" and first through I was misreading something)) and I love the relationship between the kids. 
Also reading the words "Stop Murdering Black Trans Woman" and "Trans Lives Matter" was great.
