Good representation with okay artwork. I didn't know this was five short pieces in one.

[Jes Cunningham]

I’m going to head off a complaint that I’ve seen in other anthologies right now— this isn’t a book meant to introduce you to the characters. And like any short story or one shoe piece, it’s not going to take you as deep into any of the worlds. It’s cool to want those things! It’s just not why we’re here.

But this is a delight. If you love any of these characters, you will enjoy seeing them all highlighted together. You can feel the essence of the individuals in each piece. The introduction by Nic Stone is sweet. I had probably the most fun with the “Decompression” piece. And I must take a moment to show appreciation to Nnedi Okorafor and CrisCross for bringing attention to EndSARS.

3.5 STARS - This was a great collection of short-stories but that cover was bait, Jubilee was not within these pages.

[Colleen Villasenor]

My only complaint about this was that all of the stories in it were just teasers. I want to know what happens next in each one. It is a beautiful showcase of black superheroes, especially female heroes. The artwork is good. I loved the story with the young heroes' sleepover which included Ms. Marvel. This book was a good reminder of the diversity in the Marvel universe. Representation matters

[Karen Morrill-mcclure]

Loved this comic!

I especially appreciated how the stories often went between the usual action of a superhero story. They really showed who the characters are not just what they can do.

[Danny Brown]

I really liked that Domino story. Im going to read more.

[Lewis]

This was a great little collection. I really enjoyed seeing Monica Rambeau in a comic for the first time. My favourite story in this followed Riri, Kamala and Shuri.

[Amy]

Out of all the Marvel Voices, I do think that this is my favourite. Even though I would have loved longer stories in the comic, what I read was also quite great too!

[Whatcha Reading Heather?]

I very much enjoyed the balance of social awareness with superhero personas. All of the stories, regardless of length, did a great job with introducing characters while also showing more personal sides to them that may not normally come out in their respective series (the only character with a focus that I was very familiar with was Storm). A great way to introduce to new characters to younger readers.
