jentidders's review against another edition
3.0
Wow! This is a super inclusive, intersectional, sex-positive, body-positive, erotic, graphic novel featuring five short stories about superheroes and supervillains getting it on.
Two trapped sidekicks find a way to pass the time whilst trapped; a superhero and a tactician set their boundaries and discuss their kinks before their first sexual experience together; an alien scientist and a museum thief explore gender together; two heroes experiment with kinky role play, safe words and aftercare; and a mature assassin has his tension relieved by his loving husband at the end of the day.
This is like nothing I've read before (and absolutely not safe for public reading!) but I LOVED it and will be eagerly looking out for Vol. 2.
Thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for the advanced digital copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

By far, worst book on consent I have read to date. This book was a mess.
Let's start with the good - which won't take long. The art is good. I appreciate someone trying to do a graphic novel on consent. And that's all I can say that was good.
Now for the rest...
This book was a catastrophe. The text is almost unreadable it is so poorly thought out. The actual mechanics for reading the conversations are awful. The conversations themselves are so far from natural that it shouldn't have been included at all. In fact, the text is so strained and so awkward and unbelievable that I feel it works *against* the idea of consent.
The content is not good. The stories the author wrote don't accomplish what they set out to do. They don't make sense, they aren't relatable at all and come across as a bit sloppy or even lazy. The author is trying so so so hard to "teach you something" that it becomes a muddled mess of absolutely nothing.
At best, I would say the author should forget the consent angle, keep the art, and rebrand this as porn. That's honestly all it is. There is not worthwhile discussion on consent here. This has no nuance, this wont further consent culture, this won't help anyone talk about consent better or more often. This book should be enjoyed for the art and that's it.
Very disappointed.
