Danika reviews The Girl from the Sea by Molly Ostertag
Way back in 2016, I wrote a post for Book Riot called 5 Lesbian Mermaid Comics You Need to Read where I rounded up sapphic mermaid and selkie comics. There were far too few than I would like, but I was able to find a three page comic story from Molly Ostertag on tumblr aboutRead More
Danika reviews Space Battle Lunchtime Volume 3 by Natalie Riess
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I adored the first two volumes of Space Battle Lunchtime. It’s an all-ages graphic novel of a cooking competition(!) in space(!!) with a cute F/F romance (!!!) What more could you want? The first two volumes felt like two halves of a whole story.

Susan reviews Heathen Volumes 1 & 2 by Natasha Alterici and Rachel Deering
Natasha Alterici and Rachel Deering’s Heathen follows Aydis, a lesbian Viking maiden trying to smash the patriarchy through the medium of rescuing a Valkyrie from a curse. In theory this is exactly my thing! In practice, I’m conflicted. The art style feels rough and scribbly, which works perfectly for the narrative and gives it aRead More
