After last issue opening all the plot points, I was happy that they're finally getting smoothed out. Seeing the X-Men really made my day. I absolutely love that era and it was really cute seeing America react to Nightcrawler. The pacing is amazing as far as the storyline goes. Gabby Rivera is keeping my attention and is the comic writer I always dreamed of. Joe Quinones is at it again with the amazing art. His portrayal of the X-Men was fresh yet nostalgic at the same time. Amazing. I can't wait to see what this "Mark" is and how America will continue on her path to destiny. Read Full Review

Joe Quinones and Stacy Lee were on art and kept the outfits and America's kicks looking fresh to death. I am really enjoying their designs for Chavez as well as her friends. America is a bright and colorful journey for America Chavez as she navigates through the storm of relationships, college cliques, and stunting on everybody with her superior dress game.

While still packing the same day-glo-colored punch with the art, America #3 is still a solid read, though a bit more scattered than I would like. Read Full Review

America's mystery abuela/ancestor/future self/whatever, Madrimar, guides her through a meditation session with Storm to unlock subtler aspects of her dimension-hopping powers. While it's cool to see America discovering her capacity and need for growth, I had better not hold my breath waiting for someone to point out the potential drawbacks of America's "stay the ☠☠☠ out my way unless you're a badass brown bitch like me" attitude. Her growth is happening mainly in a "you're so awesome, be even awesomer!" fashion. Sigh. Storm is ridiculously out of character, but she's being steered by Madrimar. Weird observation: Gabby Rivera's scripting improves when she's *not* working with Joe Quinones. Guest artist Stacey Lee's Storm section is by a wide margin the strongest part of the issue, but it's due to better writing rather than any major improvement in art quality.

I WANT TO LIKE THIS BOOK SO BAD. Why do you do this to me, Marvel? You give me amazing runs on characters I don't necessarily care about, and when I'm dying for an America book, we get...this. This isn't the America I fell in love with in Young Avengers and Ultimates...😔

I just... Ugh.

I really, REALLY want to like "America," but it tries waaaaaay too hard. The story is all over the place and can't find the proper balance between lighthearted fun and emotional resonance. There's so much happening all at once yet I just can't make myself care.

First of all, why is Storm there? Why is she suddenly best buddies with America? Why must America travel to the past and meet Storm in order to resolve her relationship with the girlfriend who dumped her? What was that cringefest of a subplot with Storm's safe word?!

Second offender: trying so damn hard to connect America to Latino culture. We're basically told that even though she's an alien from a parallel universe, she's totes Latina, and not just, like, Puerto Rican, but all Latin countries at once, guys, and here's some name-dropping of Puerto Rican and Colombian cultural elements to make it sounds legit.

So yeah. Love what they're trying to do with the character in this series, but the writing's just not up to snuff. No me gusta. more

This title is not getting better.

Did Gabby Rivera self-insert into comic again? Bleargh.



Some of the dialogue continues to be super cringy as well, but less so than previous times, and I'm not talking about the random spanish words peppered here and there.



I'm multilingual, with being fluent in spanish as well as in english (among other languages), and I happen to live in a community with a huge latino population, but they don't speak like America does -- granted, in this case it's Mexicans vs Puerto Ricans -- so maybe Puerto Rican communities in NYC do speak like this, in which case, I cannot particularly blame this comic for this, but I feel like it's worth pointing out.



But now I'm curious, since America seems to say that she might not be Puerto Rican, she just identifies as one because they look like her? Does that mean she's basically Rachel Dolezal? more

It's time to stop. This piece of shit has to end. She came a concert not seeing the people she is looking for in the main row with a bunch of other terrible writing. What a disappointment.

This is so racist is actually good. Maybe I am a masochist but I am loving this title

This is not a comic. It is a political work from the twisted souls of the political far left.

I didn't know it was possible, but this comic broke me.
