Semi Queer: Inside the World of Gay, Trans, and Black Truck Drivers by Anne Balay

challenging dark informative slow-paced

4.0

Very informative and interesting, but also kind of a hard read in terms of serious topics dealing with various forms of bigotry. Still, I'd like to own my own copy.

2.0

The art and take of the "white plague" is interesting, but otherwise it suffers from being a run-of-the-mill Apocalypse Comic in that it's mainly focused on being edgy, sexy, and falls into common overly done tropes without really expanding on or thinking through any of them.

Fat People Can't Survive The Apocalypse jokes? Check. Girls mainly being involved through being sexy and if not they're dead or bitchy? Check. The safe community is actually corrupt and evil? Check. Orientalism for the sake of adding cool swords? Check check.

It's just tiresome and in the end I barely finished this first volume. Avoid if you're looking for something different out of the zombie stories.
