By no means is my four star review intended to be a reflection of the importance of this comic from DC. As a bisexual woman, (sideboard: I’m nearly 40 so pansexual I might be but I have no basis to know and pansexual wasn’t a term I knew as a teen) this is a HUGE step in the right direction by DC (yes Marvel is doing stuff too). But having the comics exist isn’t good enough for me anymore. I want the characters, stories, and art to be top-notch. I want to know that this isn’t just lip-service. A...
I need solo comics for all these characters. These stories were way too short!!!
4.5Of course the Harlivy was AMAZING but I honestly loved most of them, especially the batwoman one and the renée one!
It's hard not to compare this to the Marvel one, but it just had way more heart. Including the interviews with real people.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I was delighted when I read DC was releasing a Pride anthology. When I saw the price tag I was rather shocked. However the sheer quality of these stories makes it worth every cent.1) Batwoman: The Wrong Side of the Looking GlassA beautiful story celebrating the queerness of Kate Kane. Filled with deep subtext and metaphors and analogies. The best work I’ve ever read by James Tynion IV2) Constantine/Extrano/MidnighterSteve Orlando returns to these characters
This was so cute <3(Also, after that Justice League Queer tease at the end I NEED DC to actually make that series happen, the team lineup is so good)
Harley & Ivy are life and that was the best story in this entire comic.
4.2/5You know, this was far cuter and significantly less ham-fisted than I feared it was going to be.
DC Pride #1 DC Pride is an anthology comic, which collects 9 superhero stories that are, in one way or another, related to the lgbtq community. Some of the stories are written by very well known writers, like James Tynion IV and Mariko Tamaki, but the majority of the stories are by writers I've never heard before and are honestly not great. Unfortunately, most of the stories are very forgettable. I'm writing this review a day after I read the comic and if I didn't have it next to me right now I
The Harley + Ivy pages were the best ones as it is to be expected.
I love that DC made this book even if the contents are oh so very so-so. Either the stories were nowhere trifles or they assumed a lot of knowledge about the characters. While I don't want every story to be an origin, it's a missed opportunity in a book like this which may reach an audience beyond DC's usual fanbase to not introduce these characters more effectively in the stories or with cheat sheets between chapters.As of 10/16/2021 this comic and many more are available for free at DC's FanDo...
DC releases their first and ongoing Pride anthology and it's so much fun and the art is so diverse and beautiful! Each story features Own Voices LGBT+ authors and artists; a few of my favorites: Trung Le Nguyen, Vita Ayala, Sina Grace, and Mariko Tamaki. I enjoyed some stories more than others; my ratings go as follows:- "The Wrong Side of the Looking Glass" by James Tynion IV and Trung Le Nguyen: 4/5- "By the Victors" by Steve Orlando and Stephen Byrne: 2/5- "Try the Girl" by Vita Ayala and Sky...
3.5 starsWhile the idea was great it was a little underwhelming what we got here since it was an unique opportunity to showcase characters that are usually sidelined or ignored.From the 9 stories featured I only was impressed by 3 of them, the others were meh, the pin-ups some good, some ok. And the DCTV interviews could have been cut for an extra story.
DC Pride is a collection of nine comic vignettes that celebrates Pride Month. This anthology collects eight vignettes written and illustrated by a myriad of writers and pencillers with seven pin-ups and interviews with the actors that play LGBTQ characters on the live action shows.This anthology is divided into nine vignettes with each story centering on a specific LGBTQ+ superhero. It starts off with a wonderful forward by March Andreyko and then delves into the stories. Characters focused on a...
Exactly what's needed, representation in the mainstream and of course the Harlivy sections where my favourite ❤
It makes you feel like you have to conform to what the world wants for you to be because the rules that work for the other children, they don't work for you.You feel like you're living on the other side of the looking glass, that you're backwards and wrong looking at all the other people who fit like you don't.And you lash out and you try to control yourself, and control the world, but you can't do either, and sometimes it feels like that's going to break you.But then you find the other people o...
Just in time Beautifully written and illustrated. The stories were just right for all ages,races,and cultures. I was especially pleased with the CW/DC LGBTQ+character cast interviews. This was so needed after such a trying year, and the ending of our CW favs such as Blk Lightning and Supergirl. This issue offers new readers a chance to see their favorite OG heroes and villains but also meet the new/next gen hero.
This was perfect!!!! I loved every short story in this!!!! I def need more Queer Superheroes in my life!
The ReviewSome of my favorite heroes in the DC Universe are proud members of the LGBTQ community. From the incredible story of Alan Scott trying to bond with his son Obsidian in an attempt to recognize how far the world has come since the days of gay men having to hide in secret bars, to the heartfelt romance of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, and even the promise of a future league within the DC Universe that celebrates the wide range of LGBTQ heroes that the comic book company has to offer, this
I don't usually review graphic novels, despite the fact I do read a few (particularly DC) but I decided this one was worth reading and reviewing for a couple of reasons: primarily because it's a pride anthology and I think representation matters, but also because it is an anthology, it can easily be read as a standalone.I loved it. The stories were all short (my one issue) but it was to be expected from an 80 page anthology containing 9 different stories, so it was hardly unexpected. The variety...
