For the love of everything, can we get the old artist back? I'm not feeling this Quitely/Romita Jr esque art. America looks like a completely different person now.
This arc ends kind of abruptly and I'm not sure how I felt about it to begin with? I feel like it went from 0 to 100 really quickly and then all of the background for how America and Mags ended up in the ring was explained with Mag's dialogue to Kate. I almost think I would have rather seen the set up so the conclusion would feel worth it.
While I don't love this whole "be one with the astral plane" thing, if this become a book about America finding her people and getting to know more about her moms through Madrimar, I'm definitely here for that. I am really interested in seeing America find herself in her past and that is one aspect of the character that hasn't really been explored since the little bit in YA where they talk about the Demiurge.
I really don't know how to feel about the fact that this was yet another arc that kind of begins because of one of America's evil exes. Even with the explanation, I don't like Mags choices here and I don't think she's a great fit for America.
Also, I'm kinda bummed that this is the cameo we get from Kate. If it ends here, that is unfairly short. They have amazing chemistry and I just want to see them together forever. (And not just because I ship it).

America: You're my ride or die, Kate Bishop
Kate: How 'bout we be each other's ride and survive?
America: Yes. Forever that.
