Heartbreaking
This is a great comic. But it is heartbreaking. Very very heartbreaking yet a story that should be told and these are the stories that shouldn't be forgotten

Um casal gay se conhecendo e vivendo um romance em Berlim na época da ascensão do nazismo. Não preciso dizer que não é uma história feliz, mas ainda assim o roteiro é delicado na sua forma de mostrar como as coisas foram piorando e a arte traz certa harmonia pra situação. Você passa mais tempo curtindo o entrosamento do casal do que sofrendo. Um detalhe importante é que a violência não é muito gráfica. O que acontece está claro, mas ninguém quer chocar o leitor com imagens, basta o contexto, afinal. O mesmo vale para o contexto sexual. É bem legal ver o casal se curtindo, acordando na cama, se arrumando pra sair... coisas de dia a dia comuns.
Um ponto histórico interessante é mostrar com poucas palavras que muita gente não se mexeu pra ajudar quem precisava ser ajudado. O nazismo teve apoio financeiro de fora da Alemanha, e pra variar, o preconceito contra gays vinha de todos os lados, fosse país nazista ou não (Estados Unidos, estou olhando para vc... de novo).
Demorou um pouco para me fisgar, por isso 4 estrelas, mas passado 1/3, fiquei bastante envolvido com personagens e história.

A heartbreaking final page that left me reeling. Thank you Lockard, Fish, and team for sharing this moment in queer history. It’s necessary and demands to be read.

3.5 stars. A short tale of queer romance amidst the horrors of war, mundane love being ended by a government which deems it a monstrosity.
I liked the art and I felt the style and colouring fitted its noir vibe - I would love to see queer noir from this artist team!!
Unfortunately, I found the comic a bit too short, and thus the pacing was very abrupt. I didn’t really get a feel for the characters and who they were as people outside the relationships between each other. There was no romantic tension that had me rooting for the characters to get together, and the intimacy is a bit wonky, with most of the early scenes depicting them in bed being when one of them is leaving, and the first depicted kiss only being much later after the first use of “i love you”.
Otherwise, love that there were gay men involved in the production of this, found the vibe interesting, and I’m glad I read it
