blake! yang!

redux, now in 1080p, with just one more “BLAKE!!!” from Ep 12 Vol 6

She is a lesbian latinx hero from a Utopian universe who came to our world just because she wanted to be a hero. 

Her moms died saving the multiverse so as a kid she runs away because she wants to be just like them.

She has superstrength, speed, flight, and she’s bulletproof

But by far one of her coolest powers is she can create portals between alternate universes. 

America started off as a stereotypical latinx character, but under Kieron Gillen, she was written as a calm person who thought through her next move. She is quick to fight, but  when it’s necessary because she knows she’ll win. She’s also an uber dork who believes in love and hope. Not something you see from the quiet characters.  

She has appeared in Young Avengers, A-Force, Siege Secret Wars, and The Ultimates She’s a powerhouse character who impresses heroes in the A league like Monica Rambeau 

Now after years of people asking for her own book and her increasing popularity she’s finally getting her own solo book! It was announced at NYCC and will be called America with the first preview done by @mckelvie and Matt Wilson

We need to support this book! Show Marvel that this is our hero. 

America #1 (2017)

Writer: Gabby Rivera

Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors is part of a new, multi-platform animated franchise starring the next generation of Marvel heroes set to launch in 2018. The program will launch with six, four-minute digital shorts (which will follow Spider-Gwen with her new secret moniker, Ghost-Spider). Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors will premiere later in 2018.

We have Kathreen Khavari as Ms. Marvel, Cierra Ramirez as America Chavez, Milana Vayntrub as Squirrel Girl, Chloe Bennet as Quake, Dove Cameron as Spider-Gwe….I mean Ghost-Spider, Tyler Posey as Inferno and Kamil McFadden as Patriot. The heroes will be mentored by Captain Marvel, Tippy Toe and Lockjaw will be animal sidekicks.

While this is awesome news, I need to bring up some cynical things because I’m me.

One: The article calls Kamala Marvel’s first Muslim superhero. She is not - she is first Muslim superhero with her own series. I know, sounds nitpicky but I don’t like when people erase characters like Faiza Hussein, Monet St. Croix or Dust to make Kamala look more important. Guys, she IS already one of the most successful characters of the decade and an amazing character in her own right, you don’t need to bullshit people to hype her more, she is the hype already and you just end up undermining her.

Two: This design for Daisy is bugging me. I mean, first I saw the head and I thought it’s supposed to be Gogo Tomago, then I saw the purple gauntlet and thought it’s Nico Minoru and only when I noticed stuff coming out of the gauntlet something in my head connected that it’s probably Quake.

Three: Whoooo boy, if Eli Bradley fans didn’t hate Rayshaun Lucas already, they sure will if he made it to the movies before Eli. Also, @keeper-of-the-lore , who has found this news, made a good observation that this explains why Shaun is now Sam Wilson’s sidekicks in Falcon, while Jacquin Torress has disappeared - this was probably already in the works.

That being said, holy shit I’m hyped like hell for this!

We’ve got a super-soldier, a giant girl, a robot from the 30th century, a Skrull/Kree super-soldier, Billy (who, yeah, is kind of lame, but can cast spells), an Olympic class archer and martial artist, and… me.
