Nomad : girl without a world

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In her world, Rikki Barnes was the modern-day Bucky, teen sidekick to Captain America. In this world, the Cap she knew is dead, she never existed, and very little else is as she remembers. With no home, no income, and no legal identity, what's a girl to do? How about tracking down the new Cap, reconnecting with her brother, and running afoul of the Secret Empire? Sounds like a plan to us!

Booklist Review

McKeever takes the YA know-how he established on Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane and applies it to Nomad, late of Captain America, a teen refugee from an alternate reality. Her isolation is used to good effect for readers who may be familiar with a sense of exclusion, as a secret empire tests its new method of mind control on Nomad's high school, turning normal students into a group of rabble-rousers who exact a heavy price from those who don't fall into line. The suggestion that outcasts are being created by a shadowy conspiracy is a small stroke of genius that many teens will embrace as a paranoid amplification of their own social world. Baldeon's art is strong on action if slightly less so on faces and expressions, but Nomad's doomed attempts to establish connections deepen the emotional investment, and guest stars the Young Avengers offer a little something extra. Though it uses characters and ideas from some obscure corners of Marvel's history, no prior knowledge is needed to enjoy this only slightly didactic whiz-bang adventure.--Karp, Jesse Copyright 2010 Booklist
