America's series has done well to add depth to her in addition to her appearances in team books. We're getting even more to her as a character and seeing a more vulnerable side. This creative team has done well to make America Chavez an even more well-rounded character and hero. Read Full Review
Over the past eleven issues [America] has very much cemented its place as part of one of the most underrated titles in Marvel's line-up right now. Read Full Review
America's weird, wild ride as the star of her own solo bends towards its conclusion. While some concepts worth exploring have filtered down into this final arc, the odds of cementing them into a memorable legacy seem slim.

This new story launches with some superb character design work courtesy of Stacey Lee and some slightly promising mythology, but cramming all of this into the series' last two issues is a serious mistake.

So, right away we start with Gabby's Self-Insert Mary Sue character (X'andria) being totally BFF with America -- and somehow it devolves into Franklin's quote of trading liberties for safety and the evils of surveillance, white people being racists and Sotomayor U becoming a sanctuary campus.
Little sidenote here -- you have to point out Prodigy's hypocrisy -- no way around it: He objects there was a surveillance system put in place, but he also had a surveillance system he installed himself prior to this
America goes on break from the U, wishes really hard and manages to make a portal to her Abuela. The scene is not that bad actually, you know, connecting to a long-lost family member and such, and then looking for you more
