Mine! A Celebration of Liberty and Freedom for All Benefitting Planned Parenthood by Molly Jackson, Sarah Winifred Searle, Niki Smith, G.D. Falksen, Joe Corallo
4.0
I'm generally not a fan of comic book anthologies that give an artist or art team two or three pages to tell political stories. They're often completely forgettable fluff pieces that make you feel good about supporting a comic that aligns with your values but have no real merit.
Last year's [b:Love Is Love: A Comic Book Anthology to Benefit the Survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting|32592590|Love Is Love A Comic Book Anthology to Benefit the Survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting|Marc Andreyko|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1513191176s/32592590.jpg|53171007] was one of the few books that I preordered, read and purchased the day it came it out. I'm glad the book exists. I hope it spread awareness, and raised some money. But I don't remember a single page of it. It's one of the few books where I think "Meh." is a completely acceptable review for it.
On the other hand, Mine! has a slew of stories on a variety of topics that Planned Parenthood deals with. They Are Not All About Planned Parenthood. They are certainly not all about abortion. It's not printed on fetal tissue. It's stories about womens' issues that sometimes involves Planned Parenthood.
There are far too many topics to list but my favorite included:
-- the facts about how Vice Morally Bankrupt Piece Of Shit, Mike Pence, weaponized his faith to kill poor people in his constituency
--an older sister explaining what a period is to her idiot brother, and her earnestly wanting to learn brother
--the dumb shit we think we know as teenagers because America is afraid to properly educate children about sex and disease prevention
--a cat serves as a heating pad to help with cramps
There are also a bunch of cool short biographical pieces about lesser known champions of female rights. And, yes, a bunch of dull and preachy stories who put rah-rah-rahing in place of making any sense. But those are usually the majority in this type of anthology, and they really didn't feel very frequent in this one.
