CW: Pulse Shooting, Homophobia, HP mention - Albus Dumbledore quote, Outdated language; transexual is used in one comic, however, we use the word transgender or trans when referring to trans people.
Like any anthology, there were some comics I liked and some I didn't have a connection to. I loved seeing my favorite authors/artists including Tee Franklin and Molly Knox Ostertag. Some of the comics were very heavy and directly about the Pulse shooting and others featured DC Comics characters. I like that the sales go to the families and those who were affected by the Pulse shooting. This is a heavy comic as it does talk about a mass shooting, hate crimes, and homophobia.
