An excellent anthology of short comics by and for queer people. It does seem to be out of print, so I was very lucky in being able to borrow a copy. I love the representation, and the different art styles and stories.
I particularly liked "Stardust & Feathers" and "Karana", and the art styles of "Pilot Light", "Void", and "The Courier".

Like all anthologies, it’s a mixed bag. There are some that I’d love a full graphic novel of, and others that were clearly trying to say something deep but I just didn’t get. On the whole though, this is really really lovely. The art styles vary a lot, and while there were some that I wasn’t a fan of, the vast majority were stunningly gorgeous.
If you’re looking for some queer stories, I can’t recommend this highly enough.

As with most anthologies, I didn't love every story, but this book contains some beautiful art and delightful stories. These short comics err on the lighter side of their chosen genres, with adorable urban fantasy and hopeful post-apocalyptic tales. A worthy successor to the first volume.

This is !! The most important thing. The creation of community after tragedies is very queer, and every single comic in this book was so well done. There are so many dark and gritty post-apocalyptic/urban fantasy stories and this subverted everything in the best way. "Dear Wife" by Reed Black, about a woman who goes to do some shopping for her wife and gets held up by a fairytale-esque creature who forced her to complete three tasks, and "Daisycakes" by J. Doyle and U. Wood, where three strangers discuss a story they heard while waiting for the acid rain to stop, were probably the biggest standouts, but I loved all of them dearly. Favorite comic of 2019, I think!
