America, Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera, Joe Quiñones
4.0
3.5 stars for sure. I am honestly torn. I want to pick up Volume 2... but the art work for the last 2 comics in this volume was horrible. Read my review here for the first issue. America #1 review.
Slight spoilers ahead! The story picks up for sure around issue 3. By then we are seeing more about America, where she is from, and how she came to be. I am not understanding why she is constantly deflecting when it comes to people, its like she's angry? But why is she so angry? I also don't get why she broke up with Lisa? She can open portals, thats the best power to have when you're in a long distance relationship. That made no sense. The story isn't that captivating, I feel like I am trying to understand America too much, and the plot slips away from me. Then in issue 5 the artwork changes, and to me that changes the entire tone of the comic. It went from vibrant and new to 1992 grit real quick.
I don't know if I will get volume 2.
