    Black Nerd Problems - Omar Holmon

    Thompson and Rivera are a good match together. We got a new story, new direction, and a thread tying it all together as the answers Chavez is looking for are starting to unwind and more of her past gets unveiled for us readers. Read Full Review

    To quote the comic itself, if you like "slaying monsters, the patriarchy, and extra large pizzas" plus heart wounding feelings and art that is the polar opposite of house style,America#5 is the book for you. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Jessica Brake

    Aug 03, 2017

    Ok, the change in artwork was very jarring at first but after I looked at more Kate Bishop comics, I could understand the tone more. Thats on me for not expanding my horizons more. Otherwise, its a beautiful glimpse of a story of old love, friendship, and now betrayal. Hopefully, whatever is in store for America next, is better than what we just left off on! Read Full Review

    Nightmare of Solomon

    Jul 19, 2017

    This comic is rescued with Kelly Thompson doing co-writing duties and the inclusion of Kate Bishop, which tells you what a bad shape this comic is in, and even then the quality barely goes up... did I mention America #3 sold only 12K units? give it a couple more months and it will be selling as many copies as My Little Pony, 'cept My Little Pony, more often than not, can actually be read without damaging your brain cells.

    Some of the monologues try to sound all empowering, end up coming as completely shallow. Gabby cannot tell the difference between cyborgs and androids. Also, they gleefully destroy helicopters and do killshots on mooks and then realize everything was empty so its ok!-- this goes beyond heroes not caring bout co more

    America calls on Kate Bishop to roadtrip to an ex-girlfriend with her. The foreshadowing on America's next antagonist goes from "fairly subtle" to "screamingly obvious" over the course of the issue. I can see the aim of the dialogue and characterization was some sort of Tom Robbins/Diablo Cody modern-day Age of Aquarius feel, but it turns out sad and try-hard. Like Tom and Diablo were whacked up on prescription tranquilizers and only allowed one slow, low-energy, no-editing pass at their collaborative script. Ramon Villalobos's art flirts occasionally with the memorable, but his refusal to be consistent even with himself when it comes to character designs is off-putting.

    This was the least horrible issue. I actually liked it more when it was 100% trainwreck

    I see the SJWs have even gave up on reading this one haha! Who am I kidding? They probably never read this although it does have 100% of pandering. One is sure, this was pure bad.
