Nubia: Real One by L.L. McKinney
5.0
UGH I loved everything about this comic.
The art style is beautiful, the story is so bittersweet—I love love love teen hero stories (all the angst, school drama, and everything in between!) and the story is crafted so deftly to illustrate the ways that even with her incredible power, Nubia is still experiencing the incredibly real difficulties that come with being a Black woman in America. Nubia's grappling with her powers and wanting to just help make the world a better place made me want to give her a well-deserved hug, but I really loved and appreciated not only the Wonder Woman cameo (!!!!) but the fact that her support system was so caring and wonderful.
I hope especially in wake of this arc we get 1) more Nubia comics in general 2) more stories like this please!!! A wonderful addition to DC.
