I love this issue and I hope we get to see more from these creators. If you're like me and can't wait for more from them, I highly recommend checking out Jeffrey Veregge's current Marvel covers and images of Veregge's exhibition Of Gods and Heroes, Rebecca Roanhorse's fantasy books Trail of Lightning and Black Sun, and Darcie Little Badger's book Elatsoe.

I liked the Dani story a lot, Echo one made some odd choices, last one was good even though I hadn’t been familiar with the story it was referencing.

Earl @b.earlwriter Artist: Jeffrey Veregge; Weshoyot Alvitre @weshoyot ; Kyle Charles @kylecharlesart ; David Cutler @davidjcutler , Robert Poggi @robbypoggi Colors: Jeffrey Veregge; Lee Loughridge @leeloughridge ; Felipe Sobreiro @sobreiro ; Cris Peter @cristianedpeter Letters: Ariana Maher Cover: Jeffrey Veregge Voices showcases the heroic indigenous heroes of the Marvel Universe and pays tribute and honor to their culture. In a beautifully drawn introduction, Uatu the Watcher highlights many of these proud heroes we’ ve seen throughout the years. This particular issue showcases Echo, Dani Moonstar, Silver Fox and her husband Trigo. Jeffrey Veregge’s artwork is absolutely beautiful. This was a really cool book and on one hand it’s great to see so many indigenous heroes, you realize that there nearly isn’t enough representation. Hopefully this book helps these heroes take the forefront in Marvel comics going forward.

A nice collection of strips featuring established indigenous characters and fresh indigenous creators. All of them are at least average, and I fell hard for the Mirage strip. It works so well as so many different things! It's a good Dani story. It's a good mutant story. It's a good Native American story. And it's even a good "Dani & Rahne" story, complete with romantic subtext.

Anthologies are not my thing; they just tend to burden the stories. This anthology was fine. I feel like these could've worked better if they were fleshed out more. The Echo story especially seems like it could've used more page space. I don't get why Loki was so interested in preparing Echo, and who knows what for. Maybe this is a sneak pilot for an Echo miniseries, I don't know. I think the stories here get better as the anthology progresses. The second story with Dani Moonstar really tries to make a statement that I think, again, needed to be fleshed out more. The final story keeps itself smaller and I think that works better. But I think that story will be confusing for people who didn't read 80s Wolverine, so it's kind of a wash. But t hat was definitely the best story, in my opinion. I also really like Jeffrey Veregge's art. more

First story: Bad art for most of it, and the story was pretty bad. Loki just brings Echo to a different planet for...no reason? And makes her solve the problem instead of him do it himself? The flash of the future is possibly a hint towards her becoming the Phoenix host? If that was premeditated back then, that was cool, but otherwise a pretty bad story. Second story: Fun! Great art as well. The representation of the boy's power was really cool, and the 3 panels of the boy asking Dani about her identity as a native and krakoan was cool. Third story: I know absolutely nothing about this. Definitely the story that felt the most dependant on knowledge of the comics mentioned in the second to last page. Impressive deep cut i assume. I was n't sure if Trigo's powers were to see the past or the future. Wish they made it clearer. Art was great too. more

This was okay, but very much suffered the pain of anthology. Some nice ideas and art but nothing ended up being special, except for that Watcher art, which was really beautiful.

Yikes.... the art was pretty bland and the anthology series just didn't make me like the new Native American characters.

Isn't it absolutely mind blowing all the positive reviews for this absolute travesty? How the mighty have fallen..

This art and writing is horrendous. Sad to see the current state of Marvel Comics these days.
