I also don't understand why Madrimar wouldn't just tell America who she was. The story seems like a bunch of ideas Rivera jotted down that she thought sounded great but with no thought about how they all fit together logically.
It's set up as her going to college (even if it's some weird, super-science college that's never really explained.), but it feels like it's really about America's quest for love. She's extremely self conscious as she ping pongs from side quest to side quest with no real plot or goal to the story. She also seems very self-confident and together. She's super strong, can fly and portal between dimensions. I also wish the writing style was a hell of a lot more mature.Īmerica Chavez is a pretty cool character in Young Avengers. I just wish the rest of the series was stronger. I liked getting more information on where America came from. They're all terrible and it's weird to me because we get no hint that America has a terrible love life in Young Avengers and while it's great to have a lesbian character actually be shown in relationships with women, it bums me out that these women are the driving forces behind quite a bit of America's actions. I don't like that it seems like quite a bit of America's plots are driven by her terrible string of exes. If that's the point, I would've been content with the updates showing their updates on tumblr or something like that. The group of America fan girls for example? I still don't really know why they're here except to show that America is inspiring youths. I felt like it was getting bogged down by short side plots that never really seemed to go anywhere. I adore America as a character but where this book loses me is that it doesn't really feel like a cohesive comic. So, essentially she was a blank slate with this book. America was not given a ton of backstory, is what I'm getting at. We know that she's a Latina but we didn't know what community her mothers would've been a part of. We know that she'd been on her won for quite some time ever since. We knew that she lost her moms when they sent her away because their home planet was too dangerous. Here's the thing, America was sorely lacking in a lot of details about her backstory.
I just feel like Young Avengers was also geared towards a 15-22 crowd and I totally got what that book was about. I get that I might be a little too old for the demographic this book is attempting to appeal to and that's okay.
It's a little too tumblr esque for my tastes. Unfortunately, I'm still not sold on the writing style for this series. I love this character! I love the art! I love the cameos.
