Welcome to Litsy!

It started a little bit rushed and cheesy, but I think that might have been because there aren‘t very many chances for a Queer Hispanic Hero to not only be the lead but to be supported by so many strong women of color like her.

I‘m really enjoying this series as it slows and lets itself play out. will be putting this in as many libraries as I can haha!

Loving this one! #DiverseReads #GabbyRivera #LGBTQ

Ready for the official start of #LitsyPartyOfOne!

Tagged is graphic novel number six.

Next up.

Ikkkkkk I'm super late to the party with this one but HOLY COW IT'S AMAZING

GO PICK THIS COMIC UP IF YOU HAVEN'T YET America Chavez is a queer Latina superhero and she punches stuff really really hard and she's bffs with Kate Bishop and the writer is Gabby Rivera, also queer Latinx, who's the author of the wildly popular book . 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Just finished this and it was soooo good! I was not familiar with America Chavez prior to reading this, but now I‘m in love! 😍

#Comics with my #Legendary. I don‘t know if you can see, but the city is filled with Magma Men, leading my friend to say “This city is a hot mess!” 😂 #bookandboardgame #marvelunlimited #nook

Pro-Tip: do not read about 2 adorable super friends the day after your bff leaves for the Peace Corps

(But actually do, they‘re so freakin adorable)

Gabby Rivera is 👑 #queerbooks

Some lovely art and excellent characters, but the story has some severe pacing issues and is largely driven by some of my least favorite tropes. The first issue is particularly... troubled in the pacing department, coming off largely as rushed, jumbled nonsense. America is a great character, but this is not the most promising start to her solo title.

😻😻😻

Finally organizing my #tbr from my pull list. Let operation Read Then Donate begin! #comics #graphicnovels

I love America #10's cover 😍

Library holds from this weekend! I haven‘t had time to read any of my holds but luckily my library keeps auto renewing them!!! I‘m the first person to borrow America!

This week's #comics pull list from @wildwestcomics @marvel America #11 and @dccomics Gotham City Garage #8, Batgirl #19 and Nightwing #37 #ncbd #supportyourlcs

Some incredible artwork and a fun story to enjoy here.

Amazing 🇺🇸👊

This isn't my favorite Marvel comic but it was pretty and the story was more unique. I hope they make more to see how it turns out!

I had read issue #1 and gave it a 3. After reading the first 7 issues, I‘ll up that to 3.5-4. I am looking forward to reading more about these characters now that the exposition is out of the way.

I absolutely love America Chavez and have been waiting on this colletion for what feels like forever. It's so full of kicking butts and looking cool while doing it

This 9 year old knows what it took me 27 years to learn.

I wanted to like this more, truly. The plot felt weird and a little disjointed? Like it took a while for things to connect in an understandable way. And I just didn't like America. Her personality rubbed me the wrong way. I've never liked the "punch first, ask questions later" personality. I appreciate what they're trying to do here though and just look at her! ?

Just finished. There's so much I loved about this book I'm not sure where to start... inter dimension time travel, Sotomayor University, cameos from many of my favorite Marvel heroines, that ripped senior citizen America teams up with... can't wait for the next one!

I love comics and badass ladies so I wrote a thing about it:

I made straight for the gay comics. #queerbooks #comics

Two weeks' worth of comics acquisitions, plus the super cute Princess Leia Pop! I thrifted last night. #comics

The first two issues of AMERICA intrigued me and this one hooked me but good. Structurally, the series harkens back to an older comics mode, but content-wise it's gloriously modern and weird. Plus, it's TOTALLY woman-focused, with an emphasis on awesome WOC. (America hobnobs with Storm this issue.) Yay! #queerbooks

There are shades of EXCALIBUR here, too. Gotta love dimension-hopping rife with unexpected team-ups.
