Beautiful anthology of what it "means" to be Latinx through short, witty comics. And the author is pretty cool, too.

Quite a diverse collection - my feelings about individual comics were mixed since style, content, art, etc varied so widely, but overall an interesting collection.

I was sad when it ended. It is my favorite comic book anthology now; frankly my favorite comic book period.

Great introduction to the wide world of comics, especial Latinx comics. Will follow-up on several of these creators for my library's collection.

This is an anthology I think every Latino/a/x should read. It encompasses so many different aspects of being Latinx through an illustration of our similarities and differences as a community and assists in humanizing us beyond just being part of a minority group.

There is no one way to be Latinx; we share the love for our culture and the desire to promote this love and that’s what this anthology is about. It’s about validating us all whether we’re first-generation born, immigrants, or those who the border crossed.
