Though Gabby Rivera started to find her feet in the latter six issues of America but it was too little, too late. Some of the try-hard slang was reduced, but I still felt like America was a little off.

To start with, the villain, Exterminatrix, despite a fun character design and camp villain theatrics was way too quickly revealed and dispatched with. There could have been a couple of strong issues dealing with speaking out on campus and being shut down, trying to fight against institutional power that can't just be punched and dispatched.

I was worried that I would find the constantly changing artists - sometimes even within one issue - distracting, but it wasn't as disjointed as I thought. It helped that the colour artists kept the colours uniform, bright and saturated, just the way I like it.

Things I did like:
- the colours
- my boy Prodigy getting some respect. Prodigy is such an under-appreciated member of the Young Avengers and I love him getting to shine in his own right
- Jen Bartel's art of Planeta Fuertona and America's birth ( )

Read this one directly after Vol 1. I ended up liking it and wished that the series hadn't ended. I would definitely read more by Gabby Rivera. ( )

I liked this better than Vol 1, though the plot was still full-on weird. But it had a much smoother feel and was more coherent. I'm sad this was cancelled just as it was finding it's footing. ( )

The story's heart is in the right place, but the plotting is just too loopy and jumbled for me. America is a genuinely great character, and I look forward to seeing her return in the future. ( )
