Mallory Lass reviews Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me written by Mariko Tamaki, illustrated by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell
CW: teen pregnancy & abortion, minor homophobia. I fell in love with Tamaki’s writing in female helmed superhero comics like She-Hulk. I was over the moon to hear she had a queer graphic novel coming out, and Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me is packed with queer representation. Frederica “Freddy” Riley is an averageRead More
Susan reviews A City Inside by Tillie Walden
Tillie Walden’s A City Inside is a short surreal book about a young woman growing into herself again and again. As you’d expect from me reviewing Tillie Walden’s work, the art is beautiful; the protagonist’s various homes are especially well done, and the way that the art manages to tinge even the protagonist’s happier momentsRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Princess Princess Ever After by Katie O’Neill
Princess Princess Ever After is a cute middle-grade story about two princesses who evade their royal duties, but find something greater along the way. I have to admit, I was nervous to read this based on the cover. I’m always leary when one of the main characters is of color and masculine-presenting (Amira), while theRead More
Mars reviews Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
It’s hard to boil this one down. Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic is a complex portrait of a complex family. Let no one tell you that graphic novels cannot be intense reckonings of literature, especially not when they have become staples of the modern lesbian literary canon and have been reproduced as a very successful Tony-awardRead More

“Anyway, I’m pretty sure malevolent spirits wouldn’t scrub your bathtub” The Other Side: An Anthology of Queer Paranormal Romance is, as the name implies, a queer paranormal romance comic anthology, published in July 2016.
