I loved the way women showed up for each other in this comic and the characterization. But…aside from this, it was a bit painful to read. A little too flowery/elevated/abstract in its focus—but this works for Rivera in her other works (loved Juliet Takes a Breath). America is not for me, but I do recommend if anyone else feels this way as well, to still check out Rivera’s work because she is awesome.
