America, Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera, Joe Quiñones
4.0
This is really my first dip into comics because normally I can't follow along or the story doesn't do it for me (not big on superheroes). BUT.
But, when Gabby Rivera writes something, there I am. This was so cute (the references to Selena, Buffy, Lil Wayne lyrics, Dirty Dancing, and I can't remember the rest), even if I didn't get into the overall story, I very much enjoy the references. I also enjoyed the parts focused on America's platonic relationships, especially with Kate Bishop, Storm, and Xandria - their interactions were probably my fave.
I also loved the art in the first half very much, the outfits, hairstyle changes, etc. - it was all very fun. This hasn't converted me to comics, but I'll still read the second volume to see how it turns out.
