This was surprisingly good!It starts with America teaming with Kate but then she gets a call from her adopted family aka Santanas like who raised her and they are in trouble and she has to save them and then we find out about this mystery enemy and get a whole explanation of her real origin. Its way different than she believed. We see her mothers Amalia and Elena and how they came to this island of Dr Gales and the Utopia Parallel and the retconned origin and its so well done and makes sense and...

I love America Chavez and this would be a 5 star read if not for the massive retcon. I hope America's sister is explored more in the future because she seems like a very interesting character to learn more about- she's complex and I like that. The retcon though... it's just... a lot. I don't want to say anymore because of spoilers but.. yeah. It seemed very rushed also? I hope we get another, longer, run. On a brighter note, America Chavez will always be such a beacon of light for me- her charis...

What it's about: An origin story for the super-powered Puerto Riquena. Young America was found on a beach by a family from the Bronx; they take her in and raise her as their own. When she begins to manifest powers, she also begins to remember - she came from an alternate dimension, where her mothers died while trying to save the world. Teen America decides she'll be a hero like her moms, and takes to the streets to stop villainy. This leads to friction with her family, and soon America decides s...

Fans: “I can’t believe you made Carol half-Kree, it rips the heart out of what makes the character so special”Marvel: “lol hold my beer”

There's always been this problem with America that she's Latinx rep, but is from another dimension so she's not really Latinx, so what do we do with that? And this book is like... yeah let's give her entire history a retcon to make that happen. Let's retcon every story she has been a part of and make them meaningless. Let's take everything interesting and unique about her and turn her into another failed science experiment. Oh, and let's make her weaker and more limited by the end because we can...

If you told me that in the mid 90s Marvel comics created a Latinx super hero to tap into an emerging and underserved market and this was their attempt I would totally believe you. This is a throwback to so many bad 90s comics cliches - virtually every character is super fit, everyone is posing and the writing is so bad. Every character monologues- usually while doing other activities like eating, running and fighting and speaks in Spanglish to remind you that they are Latinx. I really hoped this...

I adore America Chavez and even though her last solo series was a little scattered, it was joyful, vibrant and unapologetically queer. There are a lot of different kinds of origin stories at Marvel, and America's was unique.Now this reboot of America's origin cleans a whole lot up for her upcoming MCU debut - but unfortunately that also meant getting rid of a lot of the positives. America's queerness in particular feels shoved to the side. While her moms are still there technically, they are qui...

Not gonna lie i don't know a lot about America, but after reading this i really like her. Though the last issue kind of felt just a little rushed though it seems like there's going to more to it so that's exciting.Gotta say though I really like America, and this insite on her backstory is really good too. The art style is really nice and that is another factor that i really liked. The story telling was actually really good and able to understand to the point that I literally didn't say anything

When I first read the original America Chavez graphic novels, I felt like it came on TOO strong and they were trying too hard. With this new one by Kalinda Vazquez, it brought out the meaning of "family" which is strong in our Latino heritage, which the other graphic novel lacked. Here we find our heroine, America trying to figure out who she is and how she became a part of the Santana family.What really caught my attention was the way she was adopted by her family and how she came to be. This w...

I don't know how to feel about this one... This should probably get 1-2 stars, but I can't emotionally do that to my favorite character of all time.On one hand, America Chavez is like the love of my life and she can do no wrong, but on the other hand, this was a pretty bad retcon that undercuts literally her whole past and doesn't make sense alongside all of the Teen Avengers series's going into her past. It lacks the emotional weight of Gabby Rivera's (the previous writer for America's series)

Rating: 5/5 starsI don't follow the Young Avengers title, but I think I may start now. This title is specifically about America Chavez, one of the Young Avengers, and her discovery about who she is and where she came from. There is such great Boricua rep here and fantastic Latinx family dynamics. I loved America and Ramone. Their really interesting and I am thrilled to get more sapphic love out here in the world. The artwork by way Gomez and coloring by Aburtov is rich and complex which goes wit...

Everything you knew is wrong. Well, most everything. They retconned America's origin into a bland bowl of mush. But, oh look....she has two moms. How modern! Marvel again takes two steps forward and one step back with a interesting concept of a character.

This was a little disappointing. It went with a massive retcon of America's backstory and there was overall a lot going on that had little impact because it was all packed into a 5 issue series instead of organically developing from her existing character/backstory. Other than a couple of interesting moments related to her adoption and inability to be truly open with her girlfriend, it didn't feel like a true exploration of America as a character or of her relationships with her family, even tho...

This was pretty good, but I’m unsure how I feel about the massive retcon. 4/5 stars.

So I am not the most up on America Chavez's backstory. I admit I know the most about her from West Coast Avengers, Kate Bishop's Hawkeye, and Marvel Rising.From what I do know, this is a big retcon. To change America's alt-dimensional Utopian Parallel into a trauma-induced delusion is pretty harsh and feel like the worst of the ever-changing Weapon X backstories for Wolverine.I appreciated the interactions with the Santana's in Washington Heights, even if it felt a bit too much like it was raidi...

I really liked this comic. I already loved America Chavez from the Young Avengers but I loved her even more in this comic. I just thought the way they had her have a hard time connecting with her new family, was because of the past trauma with her family. And I will say my one critique was that they changed her origin story to become more grounded, I guess, but it just ended up becoming even more confusing. And with America being in MoM and it appears they are going with her original origin, it

The writing isn't bad but I hate the whole idea of this retcon. It completely changes her past and origin. The addition of the foster family after she came to our dimension makes sense. The retcon that she was experimented on and made up her whole origin is stupid. I don't like how she's been depowered either. Pretty much the only thing that remains the same is that she's queer. I'm guessing this was done to more align with her introduction into the MCU. I did really like Carlos Gomez's art.

i liked it enough and the art was pretty, i think america is really interesting and i love her powers, but from all the other reviews saying her origin was retconned i dont really like the story and what it did for her origin, which i’m assuming was originally much different so idk. 2.5

Didn't realize America will be joining the movie-verse, which is exciting, but not sure what I think of this volume. I wasn't an expert on her origins, but was it really that odd to be from a different dimension, given the X-Men frequently pop in and out of different realities? Feels like a bit of a letdown for it to be part of a science experiment not even headed by her moms, and for there to be numerous starlings with her powers. While her depowering also felt like an easy way to create drama,...

Everything you know is wrong! America Chavez gets an unnecessary and unnecessarily convoluted secret origin retcon.I really love the character, but this and her previous solo series just don't seem to do her justice. Maybe third time will be the charm?
