Joanne comes out swinging with her second ~1000 page monstrosity in a yearlong span, and the same issues remain. Her work proves once and for all the necessity of having an editor, and both this book and the one before it can very reasonably be cut in half. 

But even the best editor won’t save this because the art itself is tainted and built solely on hatred. Joanna is a spent creative force, only throwing out incoherent ramblings against whatever LGBT issue has bothered her recently. A bigoted wasteland.
