Synopsis
Can a black woman be America's first superhero?
Eli Franklin is a 15-year-old girl living in rural Montana-and she just happens to be the most powerful person on the planet. In the aftermath of the world learning that only black people have superpowers, Eli makes her debut as the superhero Good Girl, on a mission to help people and quell the fear of empowered blacks. When a super-terrorist threatens to take away everything Eli has worked toward, will donning a patriotic costume be enough for her to find acceptance?
America's Sweetheart expands BLACK into a universe of heroes.

Review
"Unflinching.... A crackling bit of action and adventure in which a teenage girl finds out she's the most powerful being on Earth."-- VULTURE
"Evokes series like Ms. Marvel, Supergirl: Being Super and even seminal works like Ultimate Spider-Man and Superman: Birthright to deliver a powerful feel-good punch."--NEWSARAMA
"Thrilling."--EW
"We couldn't stop thinking about it after we read it."--GEEK
"A politically charged, confronting and compelling read... Kwanza Osajyefo cleverly handles the narrative, delivering us powerful story that is both immersive and enjoyable to read." -- IMPULSE GAMER
"A rare comic that paints a teen hero as an actual teen, Johnson's art is engaging and vibrant... Black [AF]: America's Sweetheart is a vividly political and unapologetic book. It feels monumental to see a young Black woman posed as the most powerful person on Earth." -- WOMEN WRITE ABOUT COMICS
"A new superhero world that's as compelling as it is unique, leaning on familiar tropes but reinvigorating them with metaphors that have weight and impact."--PASTE
"Jennifer Johnson's art is fantastic."--GRAPHIC POLICY
"I also appreciated that the creative team gave Eli a natural hairstyle. African American women are almost always given Eurocentric hairstyles in movies, television shows, cartoons and comics unless it is historical or the character is actually from Africa. This style choice was refreshing."- FANGIRL NATION
"Johnson absolutely slays the illustrations." - OMNI COMIC
