it's cute, it's nice but nothing really happens

Single issue comic review- Like some of Waid’s work, many will take one look at this and call it a ‘woke’ comics.

That’s not seeing the big picture, though. At the heart of the story, it’s about getting through the anxieties of life, and if the way to get passed those is a superhero story, well, this one rings true, if you replace the superhero with any successful person or real life hero.

Yes, Waid writes the teenage Jenni like the 58 year old white man he is, but he knows his way around a story. Artist Clair Roe and the team behind her are the unsung heroes here, crafting a one-off tale that will stick in the reader’s mind for awhile.

El mejor broche de oro para cerrar esta colección. Un nuevo homenaje a estos personajes ya no solo por cómo nos pueden inspirar, si no cómo pueden ayudarnos a superar etapas terribles de nuestra vida o llegar a enseñarnos nuestro lugar en este caótico mundo. Es cierto, Mark Waid sigue siendo un hombre de cincuenta y muchos años, y quizás se note en ciertas cosas. Pero dice mucho de él haberse dejado de prejuicios y mostrar un personaje como Jenni, total reflejo de muchas personas.

Un nº totalmente soft que me encantaría que fuese leído por todo el mundo. Si tienes que leer un Spanshots que sea este.

MORE pandering!
When, oh WHEN can this “woke” idiocy last? I understand comics are a business that needs to pander to costumers, but haven’t we had enough of it? Get on with the regular programming, teenagers will grow and they will stop being idiots “fighting” for irrelevant/wrong stuff!

This was a therapy session I didn’t know I needed.

This really did a lot of healing for my little queer soul, I tell you what. My favorite superheroes? Being queer allies???

Pretty cute story, told through the POV of a socially conscious rebellious (possibly trans?) teenager. I enjoyed it.

Не комікс про супергероїв а коротка історія про несправедливість у дорослішані жінок.
