Nubia is an ideal read for middle grade and young adult readers who like or want to get into comics and graphic novels. But realistically, Nubia: Real One is for everybody. It's for the people who crave more character development from their heroines. It's also for the people who haven't forgotten that superheroes are the first social justice warriors we loved.

There are some stories that stand out more than others which is natural. Race with Shuri and Forge is fun, Wolverine against Hulk, and Emma Frost and Black Widow take you on a heartfelt ride and adventure. With Vecchio's queer kissing superhero tribute, Marvel's Voices #1 makes for an interesting mix of diverse content that really needs more time to evolve. I think if this continues as a series, it will be a great project that fans will really enjoy. As a one-off, it feels like a tease to fans who are looking for more fan-fiction. I think Marvel Voices comic can be even more interesting if they included more up-and-coming writers. This isn't to say that the writers that are listed are bad, however, if we are pushing for diversity, we should encourage new talent as well.

Writer Paul Allor does a good job to remind you why you love the TMNT, even in their older years. Introducing Sally Pride as a strong leader that the Turtles respect ( and maybe even envy ) while they congregate in confusion is comical. Even though Mikey is the current leader, it's clear he misses all his brothers fighting together and being in unison. My only question is, did they enjoy the pizza in Italy?

Shredder in Hell is a dark TMNT story that shows the continued inner conflict Saki has within himself. Shredder in Hell showcases Saki's softer and vulnerable side before he walks on the dark side.
