America #1 | Gabby Rivera
20 posts | 14 read | 8 to read
At last! Everyone's favorite no-nonsense powerhouse, America Chavez, gets her own series! Written by critically-acclaimed YA novelist Gabby Rivera (Juliet Takes A Breath) and drawn by all-star artist Joe Quinones (HOWARD THE DUCK), Marvel Comics' brand new AMERICA series shines a solo spotlight on the high-octane and hard-hitting adventures of the one and only America Chavez!America has always been uncontestably awesome, and as the newly appointed leader of the Ultimates, she's now officially claimed her place as the preeminent butt-kicker of the Marvel Universe! But while leading a team of heroes and punching out big bads is great and all, it doesn't really leave much time for self-discovery So what's a super-powered teenager do when she's looking for a little fulfillment? She goes to college!

I normally don‘t read comics, but once I found out Gabby Rivera wrote one, I had to give them a read! I loved it! I especially loved the college she‘s attending “Sotomayor U” & all the references to listening to our ancestors as well. #gabbyrivera #americachavez #marvel

I‘m not a knowledgeable Marvel person, and superhero comics are not hugely appealing to me, but I am a fan of author Gabby Rivera, and oh my goodness I love this superhero.

America Chavez is attending Sotomayor University where she‘s taking a class called “Intergalactic Revolutionaries & You” and, well, saving the world of course. Highly entertaining and so much fun to read.

Mehso-so

The first queer Latina superhero written by Gabby Rivera. This has many pros and cons but it is still a fun read. This comic contains the first 6 issues.

It‘s a comics and coffee kind of morning. With homemade biscotti!

The kids were up earlier (before 7!) but decided to have a snuggle upstairs with all their stuffed animals, so a bit of peace while I have a slice of sour cherry cake and some tea. What are you up to today? The air quality here is still in the unhealthy zone so nothing outdoorsy for us.

Okay so this is America #8 not 1. I just love everything about this picture, mostly because I love America and I will use every opportunity to highlight how radical she is.

Started off my reading for 2018 with some comics; America, issues 1 through 5. The @bookriot read harder challenge this year has three comic book prompts so I thought I'd tick those off nice and early. So glad I chose America, such a unique voice in the comic landscape, something we need more off.

EchoLogical @WhatDeeReads I'm so out of the loop. I've never even heard of this one. I'm more of DC girl but still, I'm slacking. 😥 6y
WhatDeeReads @EchoLogical I knew because I'm a huge fan of Gabby Rivera. 6y

Was reading Juliet Takes a Breath and ran over to our local Comic Book Store to get these. They were out of 3 and4, but I got them for my Kindle.

My favourite girl helped me read this weird, wonderful, unabashedly woman-focused comic. #queerbooks #dogsoflitsy

Today I discovered my LCS has a couple of bargain bins full of recent (and recentish) issues. Even better, they had a discounted copy of AMERICA #1! I wasn't quick enough to grab it before it left the New Releases rack, so this was a happy find indeed.

Finished the first 3 issues of #America and they were brilliant! The characters, the setting, the storyline definitely left me wanting more in a good way. I've added the series to my pull list and I can't wait to read more. Definitely head to toe LSC & pick up an issue!

Yep. It's as good as it looks. Go ahead and stack it. You're welcome.

EDIT: I sent the Litsy team a message asking them to add this title. They had it up in like 15 minutes. Litsy is the best social network.

Ekkross @Lucky_LaDee have you seen the cover of issue #2 yet? I just picked it up and it slaysssss! 7y
WhatDeeReads @Ekkross Of course I've seen it! I'm buying a couple copies. One is gonna be framed. 7y
