America's comic had a bit of a rough start, but it seems to have gained its footing and delivered a spectacular issue for this arc. (Ah Abuela!) Brave on, our favorite queer latinx superhero!
This comic came with a Legacy stamp, lol.
There's also a three page run-down of America, that I think the Legacy comics were promising. I was expecting more text and detail, so it was a bit of a let-down. Like a huge let-down. I was hoping for first appearances and other information, but had about as much information as the blurbs that begin most Marvel comics. The art is fine, and the recap is nice... but it's basic shit you know if you're already that deep in the comic, so it's probably for the new reader.

I sort of forcing myself to get through this series at this point.
The writing style still doesn't work for me. I feel like we jump from plot to plot a little too quickyl for me to wrap my head around everything that's been happening, even with the wrap ups at the start of each issue.
I really love the art, though.
I think part of why I'm not so jazzed about this series is that I would love to see a more cohesive series that's similar to the format in other books. It's fine that this is different, it's just not for me.
I must say, I wish we could see America in a healthy relationship with a girl that hasn't tried to sell her out or iced her out because of some bullshit. Apparently, I'm just not going to get that. I guess it's just shaking everything I thought I knew about the character from Teen Brigade and Young Avengers. America didn't seem like the type to hop from messy relationship to messy relationship. She also didn't seem the type to be so forgiving of people fucking her over?
Also, I'm confused by Brightly talking about banning portals and teleportation. Have I missed something where this is a common thing because, as far as I know, these restrictions will only prevent America from using her powers and no one else?
I own through to issue #11 because it was on my pull list but I think I'm hopping off this train. I want to support the character but I haven't been enjoying this series at all. That's a such a bummer.
