America, Vol. 1: The Life and Times of America Chavez by Gabby Rivera, Joe Quiñones
5.0
Cute, fun, touching, and so very gay!
Rivera once again creates a powerhouse latinx character who never apologizes for her gender, sexuality, or skin color. She owns who she is and won't take shit from anybody. This is what we need more of in our literature. It doesn't have to be a sad struggle to overcome racism or sexism. America Chavez still goes on a journey, she learns about herself, but never at the expense of her strength.
A story about a queer woman of color who can punch star-portals through space and time as she discovers new parts of herself by looking to her past, and finds a loses love along the way.
If you like punch-ass, unapologetic characters with heart and strength, good writing, and diverse art styles: read this book!
