It turns out I like my mindless porn less mindless, usually with at least a hint of a story and, *gasp* a point. And this volume is, well, mostly not that.
It's a very mixed bag of drawn porn, hitting all sorts of weird genres with the air of occasionally hitting them because they're different and exotic. Alien porn, elf porn, I-can't-tell-if-this-character-is-meant-to-be-male-or-female-because-the-drawings-are-weird porn, double transgender porn - it's like someone had a check list - "Hey boss, do we have alien porn?" "Human-alien, yeah." "Great, add some alien-alien to it and it'll be perfect."
I'm not impressed. The only reason this has three stars is because there were a few porn flashes which had a bit of a story - the alien-human one was cute (though rushed), the one drawn by the Oglaf author was cool and as strangely compelling as Oglaf, one story had a nice moral about setting people free... but most of it was just... surpriseless, mindless, "I'm not really trying to do anything other than draw genitals" porn.
Oh, well.

I maybe wish that there were fewer stories and that each story was longer. I really loved some of the characters and I wanted mooooore.

Erotica and examinations of relationships--queer and consenting and everywhere along the spectrum--along with beautiful art. Great feminist read!

In line with the first edition, but with more of my favorite webcomic authors. A trans man/trans woman story by blue deliquanti is particularly delightful.

Well-executed and high-quality, for what it is, just ultimately not my cup of tea. I basically knew that going in, so it wasn't a disappointment or anything--just a mostly cute, vaguely interesting browse-read. It's always nice to see an anthology where the creators obviously had a lot of fun.
