I thought that this was hilarious and it was my first completed read for #diversathon. It isn't a set plot line except that two husbands are transported to different worlds after their wedding. It's funny because they don't remember their past but in each world they fall in love all over again and I think that's what makes it beautiful. No matter what happened they always found their way back to each other. Gahhhhh just beautiful haha.

When marriage equality became the law of the land in the United States in 2015, a lot of (unfortunately, over-idealistic) folks thought that it would be the final hurdle that would lead to full LGBTQ+ acceptance in the country. While it's not the case, Husbands provides at least 100 or so pages worth of what a world where queer identities are normalized looks like -- all with a little bit of interdimensional travel thrown in.
I'm not here to say that this graphic novel is ground-breaking or revolutionary in any way, because it really isn't. Don't get me wrong, it's a cute story of two men gradually getting to know themselves as a couple better through hopping through various comic universes. It's fun and lighthearted with good art. I honestly enjoyed myself for the hour or so it took to breeze through this.
If you come into Husbands with this in mind, then you're going to enjoy it. If you're expecting commentary on the queer struggle in a larger context, then this is not the graphic novel for you. (The Wicked and the Divine might be, though.)

This graphic novel was just fun. I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go out of my way to find it, but when I run across it in my library I'll usually pick it back up and read a bit of it again.
