4.0

Like all anthologies, it’s a mixed bag. There are some that I’d love a full graphic novel of, and others that were clearly trying to say something deep but I just didn’t get. On the whole though, this is really really lovely. The art styles vary a lot, and while there were some that I wasn’t a fan of, the vast majority were stunningly gorgeous. 

If you’re looking for some queer stories, I can’t recommend this highly enough.
