AMERICA CHAVEZ knows the face of her enemy. She knows what's at stake if she fails. But she doesn't know the truth of her past...yet. She's about to find out.
Rated T+
This issue features bold colors and a modern comic styling. The emphasis placed on character expression and form is very engaging. And the action scenes are exciting and interesting. I was captivated by the panels throughout the story. Read Full Review
In America Chavez #4, a dedicated creative team completes the process of streamlining and rationalizing the character's origin. It's not a job I wanted to see done, but I assert that it's done well. Even with my big-picture objections, I found the beat-by-beat storytelling outstanding. With passionate words and exciting art, the creators keep a lock on my interest as they prepare for a blockbuster finale. Read Full Review
There' still a lot to love here even with the odd ending, and hopefully, the final issue can stick the landing. Read Full Review
America comes to accept her revised origin story, but that doesn't mean she'll join her sister or let her continue her exploitative experiments. It's a simple, maybe melodramatic story, but it's told with consummate skill. The way the plot developments are linked into the characters is excellent, and the art is stunning stuff. And a strong stand against "the ends justify the means" philosophy is always a safe bet for a hero.
I feel like what came on here is what Marvel had planned for Chavez since the idea to get her first solo series. To rediscover herself after being so sure of her identity, something that past depictions fumble in. Once you look past the idealized version of events, you have to look at the reality of a situation. Personally I would've preferred if Chavez faced off against Superia in confronting the nature of her origins. But really, this is to assure readers that even with a more dramatic origin, Chavez is still the hero they've come to love.
This is a just a giant retcon and I'm here for it. Simplify that origin, daddy.
