The Unstoppable Wasp, Vol. 1: Unstoppable!

The Unstoppable Wasp, Vol. 1: Unstoppable!, written by Jeremy Whitley and drawn by Elsa Charretier, was published in 2017 by Marvel. 

5 starI really love The Unstoppable Wasp, Vol. 1: Unstoppable!. I love the art style – it’s simple, colorful, and full of character. I love the characters – Nadia is just adorable; even though she’s been through untold horrors, she remains naive in the best possible way – optimistic, trusting, and ready to make a difference in the world.

Above all, I love the message of the book. Though the book is very blatant about empowering girls, there’s a subtle feminism present as well – except for Jarvis, all of the main characters, and even many of the villains, are girls or women. So even while Nadia is trying to recruit women and girls for her Genius In Action Research Labs, she’s also surrounded and supported by them.

I’m sad that this is yet another promising new title canceled after just 8 or 12 issues. I honestly don’t understand who Marvel is trying to sell to, nowadays.
