I'll say upfront that I unfortunately don't know a ton about Marvel anymore, and most of the heroes here were fairly new to me, but this was a downright treat. Everything felt solid, and although I may not know the characters well the art is beautiful and the writing is fluid. These little compilations are a great way to find out about new stories, and I stand by how much fun this was, I'm definitely going to investigate some of this further.

4 stars out of obligation at this point i think. i mean i liked some of the stories so they defo deserved this rating but yeah idk i never have any expectations for pride anthologies cause its only ever really the covers that serve.
i liked the loki ft the young avengers story kinda you know i missed my besties but i wish more of them showed up but nice to see marvel acknowledge loki’s queerness (even if it was in a weird way idk). nice to see noh varr and hercules together. phylla vella and heather getting a story so iconic of them and it was a fun story. literally dont know or care about d-man or venomm and taku but their stories were cute enough cant be mad you know. asgard pride story was fun.
the last story with shela/escapade was so long sorry. i believe it was a character introduction and shes getting a story arc in new mutants but like idk i was just not interested in what was going on cause it was a lot thrown in your face for a character youve never met before like take it easy. i think the character and story are interesting but i dont know if this was the right place for it, for me anyway like i simply didnt care i was here for fun stories about my fave queer characters and couples.
basically marvel once again disappointing with their pride special cause like why have all these people on your cover and all these amazing queer characters that you always pay dust too and then not put them in either anthology or any comic series.

Still weaker than the DC one, but an overall improvement.
Alex Phillips' introduction prose needed to explicitly call out the attacks on trans right, not just include that the "don't say gay bill" is also "don't say trans."
Making D-Man a trans man and having him lead a trans teen support group was excellent.
Both Loki stories were cute. I'm not surprised I could hear Hemsworth saying the lines Ira Madison III wrote for Thor.
"Permanent Sleepover" made me cry. I want 10,000 more stories with Shela and Morgan. (My childhood bff was also trans, and on the other side of the rainbow from me as these two are compared to each other. We didn't have the language younger gens do or any adult support, but the Peanuts-style flashbacks gave me all the memories.)
The rest were a little meh. I wanted to like "Perfectly Scene" but there was too much exposition for the reader to understand their backstory that they didn't feel like an established married couple.
The handbook entries shouldn't have been included to jack up the price, and ended the entire thing on a fart.

maite_moonchild's review against another edition
Grosse déception pour celui-ci. Déjà, les histoires sont très courtes et très détachées des runs principaux, on sent que ça n'aura aucun impact sur le reste des histoires. Et il y a un texte très gênant en plein milieu où Marvel essaie de prétendre qu'ils ont toujours mis en avant des persos LGBT+ dans leurs histoires (avec peu d'exemples à l'appui et aucun perso principal, sur ce coup DC a fait mieux). En plus, la qualité d'édition est médiocre,je ne l'ai lu qu'une fois et la couverture est déjà détachée. Do better Marvel.

It is cool that this exists, but I would rather have those characters in longer and more authentic stories. But let’s see how the last story continues in the x-men. Really miss the Young Avengers plz Marvel, bring them back.
