Like others have said, this isn’t an award-winning story. It’s sweet, intriguing, and predictable. Again, like others have said, I wish we could have spent some more time here and seen this story and characters developed further. I appreciate Vaughn’s inclusion of explicitly, unabashedly queer characters, if some of the themes around acceptance weren’t subtle. I also appreciate the care for Deadman as a character. Worth reading, but don’t expect to be amazed.
