I appreciate what it is doing for queer readers, it just wasn't for me. Joe Glass is a great writer, and his work on The Miricles was more of my style.

(I got very confused trying to figure out how to mark this book as read, because Comixology originals mean that sometimes what is in which collected edition for GR purposes gets confusing).
I really liked this at the start, it made me actually laugh out loud a couple times, but ultimatley it fell a little flat. It wasn't bad, just... a bit generic? I feel like I'm not sure how seriously The Pride wanted me to take it, and the characters weren't fleshed out enough for some plot points to be as emotionally impactful as they should have been. I did enjoy it though, and I hope that its a series that gets better as it goes on.

Está bueno, pero no termina de cuajar. Rating: 3.5 stars
Tal vez sea que cada entrega tiene ilustradores diferentes o que algunos personajes están demasiado cerca a superhéroes famosos y una no puede evitar levantar la ceja.
Además la exploración de los temas queer es demasiado evidente, le hace falta integrarlo mejor y que sea una historia más orgánica. Pero, aquí puede que yo sea el problema al ser una cishet, y la necesidad de representarlo de manera tan directa sea necesaria y yo simplemente no me doy cuenta.
Ahora, lo disfruté, la representación me gustó y el que tocaran temas como el VIH y los campamentos para “curarlos” me parece relevante. Si sale un segundo tomo, lo patrocinaré como lo hice con éste.

Being queer means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and while no comic can cover every angle, this one takes as many as it can, and tells it in the queer superhero story we need. There *are* some rep issues that the writer has already addressed, but other than those nagging me, I really, really enjoyed this.

While I enjoyed it, something about this just didn't click for me. The variant art was a little disorienting, and some of these characters are complete ripoffs of pop culture superheroes. I did like the exploration of queer issues, but sometimes it became Too Much, and the story was lost to the messages that the anthology was trying to give. (If they'd been done in a more organic way, I don't think I would've minded). It has good in it, though.
