Love Is Love: A Comic Book Anthology to Benefit the Survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting by Marc Andreyko

2.0

 

2 stars - It was ok

Love is Love is a collection of 1-2 page stories about the Orlando Pulse shooting. The stories and poems  in this are about the shooting, mourning, and celebrating love. While I had high hopes for this collection, I was a bit disappointed in what was presented. Sadly a lot of these stories are about straight men feeling upset and dealing with this shooting. This overshadowed a lot of the #ownnvoices stories which is just very disappointing. Overall, while this is a heartfelt and emotional collection of queer comics, I do think there were too many written by cishet allies.
