America, Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera, Joe Quiñones
3.0
This is my first exposure to this title, maybe my first run-in with America Chavez at all. Turns out I like her, although her character can be... let's say "abrasive." (It's alliterative!)
I also liked a lot about America, Vol. 1. It is a little try-hard at times but I appreciate the TRYING part of it. There were some good characters in this story and the plot wasn't the worst; this entire volume was a little heavy on the exposition side of things, but I'd prefer that to not having any clue what's going on, and I did need MANY of the pop-ups informing the reader who each new character was. I could use those in a lot of contexts, actually.
The art in issues 5/6 was not my fave. I had a hard time following the story because I was so distracted by the art, and I don't mean that in a good way.
