I was really looking forward to this since I really liked America in Young Avengers, but...it tries too hard. It tries SO hard, in so many different ways, that it ends up being nonsensical and falling flat on its face.

There are one or two really good moments -- usually when America is reflecting on her past or her parents -- but they're overshadowed and beat into submission by the fact that America is kind of an asshole and every other character in the book is some kind of shallow tumblr stereotype. Representation matters, but it doesn't help in this case.

So disappointing.
