The Necessity of Movement: Cannon by Lee Lai Review
Cannon by Lee Lai is one of the best graphic novels I’ve read this year—a masterclass in building tension through narrative and illustration. The story starts at what seems to be a point of maximum tension, with the eponymous character standing in the carnage of a destroyed restaurant or cafe. We do not know which it is, where we are, or why it’s comeRead More

7 Transfeminine Sapphic Books I Read In 2025
It’s a tough time to be trans, more so with the socio-cultural complicity and transmisogyny one witnesses even within supposedly progressive queer circles these days. However, as a trans masc author myself, I want to emphasize that while it is alright to call for the boycott of bigoted authors, it is equally—if not more—important toRead More

Jane Austen Meets Queer History: I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner Review
This Pride Month, I wanted to highlight I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner, a YA historical romance graphic novel that is one of my favorite comics I’ve read this year.

If you’re looking for a fun one-sitting read, why not pick up this trans lesbian “mech rom-com graphic novel,” as the blurb describes it? I feel like you’re already sold, but I’ll keep going anyway.
