FIGHT NIGHT!
• America reconnects with a childhood crush - but kissing is not what Magdalena has in mind!
• Can Kate Bishop pull America out of the ring before Magdalena's mysterious employers spring their trap?
• Probably not, with one of the Marvel Universe's heaviest-hitting villains making a surprise appearance! Sin City goes for the KO - and this is one punch even a Chavez can't dodge!
Rated T+
America is a comic which handles different aspects of comics, culture, and life in a way that is deeply moving. Stakes are always high, but not in a way that would drive up your blood pressure. Between the writing and art, everything feels important and is a grand testament to layered narratives which revolve around fictional characters. With a firm lead toward future stories, this series will continue to address cultural narratives while embracing the fantastic parts of superhero comics. Read Full Review
America #6 deserves the highest recommendations, taking its charismatic lead and putting her in different, emotional situations throughout the book, highlighting her loves, her friendships and her family as much as her power and determination, leaving me giddy about my new fave-rave character.

Finding out Madrimars true identity was the icing on the cake. I know Americas mothers died when she was young, but I wouldve thought they had told her if one of them had any parents.Im not sure Im 100% into Magdalena as a love interest for America though. I wouldnt pick Lisa either. Im just picky because I love her. Im ready to see America grow her relationship with her grandmother and finally have a real family. Read Full Review
This short, two-issue punch featuring Kelly Thompson as the "archery consultant" and Kate Bishop (aka, the best Hawkeye) represents the best of what this comic can be. Read Full Review
For me this issue was one of the most fun ones we've had yet. Midas is still coming into Chavez life without any subtlety whatsoever, which can make it feel over the top at times but the reveal now is having it make more sense and making the importance of America Chavez stand out. Read Full Review
Gabby Rivera's narrative to this point has settled in and centered itself around themes of family and friendship, allowing Rivera to really play to her strengths as a writer. There's a still a healthy dose of Marvel Universe weirdness on display (Arcade, the Mindless ones and a bevy of supervillains), but by drilling down to the interpersonal conflicts between America, Madrimar, Kate and Magdalena, Rivera is able to tap into the heart of her book.

Madrimar says the One Thing that can short-circuit America's "get out of my life already" refrain while they team up to save the day. Also, it's driven home to us readers that the Big Bad here is the Exterminatrix, but the actual characters in the comic are still running behind on working that out. Solid intentions meet inept execution all over the book, with Ramon Villalobos getting closer to "acceptably professional" work than Gabby Rivera. Her plotting is almost tolerable, but the nuts-and-bolts dialogue-wrangling is still loathsome.
"give her some of this brown fist"
Quality writing right there! Seriously, this comic continues to be hilariously bad! Like a bunch of the Spanish is grammatically and/or spelled wrong. The last time I saw spanish that bad in a Marvel comic was in the Edmonson run of Punisher, and that's because he wanted to write authentic spanish and he sucked at it -- but at least he had the excuse of being gringo. Rivera always prides herself in being latinx and hot spicy puertorican from the bronx, but people actually mock her because her spanish is terrible even tho she insists its part of her culture and whatnot (protip: it's just a show).
Oh yeah, and Kate's dialogue continues to be incredibly shitty... and I pi more
Another great master class issue, such a trilling adventure full of joy and racism .
0.5 extra for the atrocious spansoh
Repulsive cultural Marxism. This drivel would have been cancelled if it didn't suit Marvel's political agenda.
By this point we all know that this comic is all about turning an established character into a latina stereotype, but if you are going to do that at least try to get the spanish right.
