A beautiful collection of stories for our pride superheroes! Love is love and if you are a fan of comics I highly recommend this one!

Overall, enjoyable, fun, and sweet. The fact that this exists makes my little queer heart so happy! Some stories I absolutely adored while others didn't speak to me quite as much. Some of that is just the nature of short comics that I understand in an anthology like this. I didn't know the characters beforehand so the stories didn't hit quite the same way and there were just not enough pages to make that connection (though some of them did manage to!). I saw another critique that they should have done profiles on the comic characters from the stories as opposed to the TV characters/actors and I agree. Or at least maybe both? It would have been nice to have some background on the ones that are a bit lesser known. Also, the end of the last comic was a bit heavy handed but you still love to see it. There are definitely things they could have done better, but I was still so happy to read it, I'll absolutely read it again, and I'll definitely be purchasing the 2022 version (also, I'll never get over Jen Bartel's Harley and Ivy variant. Like, never ever.)

It's hard not to compare this to the Marvel one, but it just had way more heart. Including the interviews with real people.

I wish we could see even more of this in main titles, more of these authors and artists.
I really liked most of the stories. I think my favourite was the Batwoman one, but I did like the irony of the Harley and Ivy story...

I really enjoyed this anthology. The art was amazing as were the stories (the first one featuring cat woman stands out in particular). Most of them really filled up their pages and didn’t seem like there was more to the story you were missing (I think this happens sometimes with anthologies). Would definitely recommend.

I was interested to see what the DC Pride comic looked like after the Marvel Pride collection was such a dud, and I can happily say DC's was a lot nicer! The stories themselves were well-contained and actually worked on their own, instead of forcing readers to refer to other issues to understand the plot. It was also nice to see LGBT+ characters as the protagonists of every story. Each piece had a unique art style, which was also super fun! I know that alternating art styles within one work can frustrate some readers, but it really worked for me here - it gave each story its own feeling and vibe, which I really liked.
Overall, my favorite stories were probably "The Wrong Side of the Looking Glass" (featuring Batwoman) and "Another Word For A Truck To Move Your Furniture" (featuring Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy). The only piece that I didn't like that much was "Date Night" (featuring Dreamer) and only because it focused so much on superhero antics, and because I tend to prefer less comic-book-y art styles. Every other story I more or less enjoyed. This was a fun read and a pleasant surprise! Keep up the good work, DC.
