Woo! Andi and\\xa0Lise\\xa0do their 99^th\\xa0episode! This week it\\u2019s all about the brand new graphic novel, Nubia: Real One, written by the awesome\\xa0L.L. McKinney\\xa0and drawn by the equally awesome\\xa0Robyn Smith. Nubia in DC\\xa0comics\\xa0canon is Wonder Woman\\u2019s Black twin sister (origin story\\xa0HERE). Here in McKinney and Smith\\u2019s coming-of-age story, Nubia\\xa0Johnson\\xa0is an urban teen dealing with issues like police violence against Brown and Black people,\\xa0racialized\\xa0misogyny, a deepening crush, and her secret \\u2013 that she\\u2019s a lot stronger than other people. In Real One, Nubia has to deal with all of that, and try to keep her secret hidden so she and her family don\\u2019t have to move again. Appropriate for YA and above; this is an excellent imagining of Nubia. Bonus: her guardians are a F/F couple.\\xa0
