I was fortunate enough to get this lovely book in a hardcover format for being a contributor to their kickstarter campaign...signed by Rob Kirby! I was made aware of the project by one of their contributors, the very talented Eric Orner and was eager to check out his work as well as get acquainted with some artists that were new to me. It is a gorgeous anthology of stories by some of todays best and most talented artists / cartoonists representing what it means to them and others in society to b...

As with any anthology, there are parts I liked more than others. But this is essentially an overview of queer comics and well worth a look. My fave was the junior superhero who talks his way into a gay bar (of sorts) for full-fledged superheroes, written by Ivan Velez, Jr., but there were many entertaining stories and varied artwork and styles of storytelling.

First book of the year, and it was lovely. Queer, varied, at turns dark or humorous, this collection has such variety to it that it felt a little like walking into a crowded room and finding that everyone is queer and welcoming, and that you'd like to be a friend to these people - because they're just as warped as you are.Okay, so there was no way I was going to walk away from short fiction so easily, was there? Truth be told, I'm kind of missing having a tale to talk about every day - but I am

On one hand, I’m really glad that this exists. One the other hand, I have a major problem with the fact that almost every story in this anthology features a queer person who is depressed, down-on-their luck, not having good time, etc. To clarify—I’m not commenting on each creator’s individual choice of what to narrate. Rather, I’m not having this anthology; the fact that this anthology labels itself as a sampling of what queer comics could be in the future and just about exclusively features sto...

Like all compilation books, there were comics I loved and some I hated.The bad: there were some that were included that I couldn't understand for the life of me. Not just bad storylines (everyone's got their own taste), but poorly done with pencil lines still included or white out marks. There were quite a few that reinforced some dangerous (in my mind) stereotypes about the queer community.The good: there were heartfelt stories about coming out, about first loves, about reconciling what you fee...

Some misses in this one, as in every anthology, but mostly hits.Favourites:Porno by Eric OrnerKindness of Strangers by Ed Luce (I loved the art style of this one, too, it's absolutely my favourite in the collection)Just Another Night in Carbon City by Jennifer CamperVacant Lots by Steve MacIsaacManning/Lamo Project by Andy Hartzell

Loved this anthology but not five stars since there were some I loved less. Have me some great new queer comics to check out. Awesome!!

An essential collection. Fantastic art and a range of storytelling.

Great collection of comics from LGBT creators. Yes, it's hit or miss but most of the selections in this anthology are hits. It also includes a great variety of artistic styles, stories, characters, and points of view.

My latest book! It just got nominated for an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Anthology or Collection this week, which makes me proud: http://www.spxpo.com/2014-ignatz-awards9/13/14 Update: QU33R won the Ignatz award tonight! Super proud.6/24/17: Update: thrillingly, QU33R contributor Sasha Steinberg, aka the one and only Sasha Velour, just won Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race! Yes, Sasha! We luv u!! (Also Eric Kostiuk Williams' fab comic in QU33R happens to be ABOUT RuPaul's Drag Race! Little did any...

Quite possibly the ugliest artwork I've ever seen. Only a few artists were interesting or had something to say. Otherwise, same gay tropes with nothing new. Not recommended.

I wish I read more comics and graphic novels. Great anthology of various queer artists, about a wide range of queer experiences. My favorite one is Just Another Night in Carbon City. There were so many that I liked. Loneliness is a common theme across many stories. It is not just being alone when one can be lonely though.

I was a big fan of Rob Kirby's consistently solid anthology THREE, so of course I loved this book-length follow up, QU33R, at least 11x's as much. The pieces by Eric Orner, Justin Hall, and Steve Macisaac are up there with the best short stories I've read -- Powerful. I also loved the stories by MariNaomi (which I got to see her read live last year), Carrie McNinch (a sequel to her story in THREE #3), Andy Hartzell (an amazing piece incorporating the transcripts of Chelsea Manning's IM's with a

Whoa, a friend from High School has an entry in this book! Whoa!Also, my darling (and pretty straight) husband picked it up and read at least half of it and had a lot of good and perceptive things to say about it. There's a really good piece about a bear encountering his high school tormentor and his daughter at the grocery store that we both really liked and really sort of speaks to how far queer comics have come ... a little skewed to the dude side, but this is a pretty great reflection of the...

Found a Carrie Mcninch in here.

I love this anthology and I'm so honored to be a part of it.

i'm a huge fan of both comic and queer stories so I went in expecting to at least like this, but sadly all the stories fell flat for me. there was no depth to most characters even though a lot seemed to have autobiographical elements which is quite baffling. and the worst part for me was that I didn't like almost any of the art styles, they often seemed either amateurish, sloppy or plain ugly. i read 'till the end hoping at least one comic would redeem the experience, but at the end I regret hav...

It was... fine.

As with every anthology, there were a few comics where I asked myself "How did this get in here?" But overall, this was absolutely gold. My favourite comic was one of the first ones by artist Eric Orner. I adored it, but it is absolutely heartbreaking.

QU33R is another Gem from Northwest Press. I have been supporting this brand on Kickstarter for a while and they never disappoint in terms of book quality or in honest, vibrant, and much needed queer voices in the world. This particular book goes all over the place in stories and representation. I highly recommend it
