A review by mindsplinters
Marvel: Powers of a Girl by Lorraine Cink

3.0

I admit it. I mostly got it for the GLORIOUS illustrations but the reading was usually pretty fun, too. If a bit heavy-handed in the area of "teaching moments based on characters" which is understandable considering this is, technically, a kids' book with an emphasis on Girl Power. Which meant I was most impressed with the way the author addressed some of the important but not-nice bits of characters and kind of cloaked some of the super heavy stuff. It was there but not "Hello, and then she was mind-control-raped" blatant. I am left with one question, though. Am I the ONLY flippin' person who remembers and finds it Very Important that bit of history between Rogue and Carol Danvers? Totally left out of this book, not even mentioned in passing, despite the "rescued when falling from the Golden Gate Bridge" mention which was directly after the contact point.
