This collection really spans a wide range of different stories, identities, and themes. There were a couple that I enjoyed and would love to see as stand-alone projects.

A wonderful collection of queer comics by queer people! I was happy to see representation all along the queer spectrum in terms of sexual orientation and sexual identity. I really enjoyed the LGBTQIA+ history works and I learned so much from them. I am always appreciative when I get to learn about other's perspectives, including in my own community.

This book features dozens of comics written by queer authors and illustrators. They are compiled into this anthology in graphic novel form. Comics range from personal stories, to political commentary, to comedy and satire, and even some queer history. There are many opportunities to learn from the comics, as well as to be entertained. I don't know that I would read this one again, but it was a good book to finish out my second month of solely queer reads.

It's hard to rate an anthology. I loved most of these but a few didn't hit with me. I think it's great to see these works collected because this is the kind of thing I would have loved to have had when I was a child growing up queer and reading comics. For the most reason I really enjoyed reading this. It also made me cry a few times SO THERE IS THAT
