America, Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera, Joe Quiñones

2.0

The writing and the story wasn't something I could get into. I really hate all the lingo like, "clutch," and "fire," I feel like it's trying too hard to set a time and fit a certain age group. Meanwhile the storylines just didn't grab my attention. The two story arcs in here weren't that great. I liked seeing Kate Bishop in the end arc but not even their awesome friendship could make me bump this to a three stars.

I really loved the character of America in the [b:Young Avengers, Volume 1: Style > Substance|17824752|Young Avengers, Volume 1 Style > Substance|Kieron Gillen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1408316436s/17824752.jpg|24934356] but I couldn't buy into her storyline here. It felt very jumbled, because it wasn't an origin story, but instead felt more like an info dump, because halfway through it was realized we readers may not know all that much about America Chavez. She also wasn't as likable here, I felt like her character was a bit flat. The representation in here was good, but it still didnt make the story vibrant for me.

It was just dissapointing...
