This book has been on my virtual To-read shelf and real bedside table for almost 6 months after a niece gave this to me. But am glad I finally got to reading it. Each chapter has a different style because this is an anthology and thats the best part about this book. The stories vary in their themes too.
Pick it up if Graphic novels and comic artists and their styles interest you.

lots of great little comics from womens and a preface that kathleen hanna seems to have written without her glasses, in 10 minutes, completely high. i was irritated when the stories were cut short, but that's probably what they meant to do, considering when they did i went online and bought the comic books that the stories were excerpted from.

25% gold, the rest were okay. Maybe I'm just not an anthology fan?

these stories did not impact me at all. i don’t know if i was expecting too much but i’m disappointed nonetheless.

kind of a mixed bag... i'm glad i picked it up overall, but it is definitely on the darker side, and lacking a bit of cohesion. i found most of the stories really depressing, some better executed than other, and the theme of scherazade was a bit of stretch to say the least. beautiful book.
