The writing is a little cringe, but only in the way that it dates the comic. Like, in 10 years people are gonna read it and be like "oh that was written by a millenial between 2015 and 2019." Obviously you can't make everything timeless but you can at least try. And especially with the ending, it's very much of the time to write "every villain has a story and even the worse villain just needs a friend to be better" which is a great lesson for kids but it shouldn't be the brown girl's job to save the white boy.
Love the art. And it made me giggle here and there.

An awkward, excitable, and easily discouraged teenager gains superpowers on her 15th birthday and discovers that it’s tough balancing her crime fighting duties with her life. Overall, a fun read with a Hispanic superhero girl, but the pacing and concept didn’t capture me. It was hard to tell who the intended audience was since this reads like middle grade.
