The Best Of: America #6
1. Though it is against her will, America sitting in the corner of Ka boxing ring (hoodie, boxing gloves, and a high bun) is such a mood. She is the savior we all need.
2. Kate trying to save America and then being pissed off that America got taken in the first place. "You-You're supposed to be invincible , okay? Like, that's part of the rebel-dream-girl-magic-best-friend thing, damnit!" Also, her just wanting to take America back to her place and let her do her pull-ups.
3. Even though it's not great and technically against their will, I love a good fight scene between two women of color where both are ripped and blood's involved.
4. Kate and Mysterious Older Woman bursting in and fighting like badasses to save America. Hella yes!
5. America finding out that Mysterious Older Woman is her abuela. America's entire arc has been about how she doesn't have family or any kind of ancestry to fall back on, and this reveal just makes me so happy for her.
6. Madrimar holding America in her arms, forehead to forehead, as she teaches her how to power stomp, which is also an amazingly cool move.
7. Amercia and Madrimar's conversation after the power stomp. God, does Gabby Rivera want us to cry?
8. Kate being an overprotective best friend and having a post-fight conversation with Magdalena. Everyone should have a best friend like Kate Bishop.
9. Kate and America once again being great best friends and Kate giving America a pep talk. "You're my ride or die, Kate Bishop." "How 'bout we be each other's ride and survive?"
"Yes, forever that."
10. Any great comic ends on a cliffhanger...
