Loves lighting heart: 2 stars
The story was so boring since it was fighting a villain I didn’t care about also I kept wondering if it was supposed to be Adam Scott
And baby makes three: 4 stars
I really liked seeing crush interact with Harley and Ivy, and I also love their relationship
Hey stranger: 3.5
A lot was lost on me since I didn’t know that Connor and Tim were friends but I liked their discussion
Subspace transmission: 2 stars
Again had no idea who the character was and also I think it ended abruptly
Anniversary: 3.5
Maybe a little on your face but I really liked midnighter and Apollo I need to read their solo series, also the art was really good
Found: 3
Too short for me to form an opinion so it was the most middle of the road thing
Teamwork Makes The Dream Work: 3 maybe 2.5
Pretty weird story as you can see I don’t really enjoy action stories since you can only do so much on very few pages
The dance: 3 stars
Can I even call this a sorry it was 6 pages of them fighting and 1 of them hooking up
Poker night: 3
My expectations were really high since the cover shows heroes actually playing poker (which for some reason Constantine and jon aren’t in) and It wasn’t that, I liked Constantine and Jon he interacting since they’re one of my favoring dc characters but considering Constantine’s magic the story could’ve been a lot cooler, I liked the mini twist I guess

There's a lot to be said about rainbow washing and capitalism and all that, but at a time when it's violently dangerous to be queer in the US, seeing a major publisher like DC continue its support of queer folk is incredibly uplifting. The foreword, stories, art inserts, ads, and the dedication at the end are all acts of resistance and celebration. Anthologies like this prove that companies can and will value their queer staff and queer stories over the potential 'backlash' they can get. Yes, profit is involved. We live in a society, after all. Things can exist in multitudes. The art and stories in this collection are heartwarming, funny, grounding, and supportive, and a lot of us need that right now.

Love the variant cover I got!!
DC Pride 2023 #1 is another great anthology of queer stories from DC. There's also a really touching tribute to late Rachel Pollack by her friends and fans.
'Anniversary', 'And Baby Makes Three', and 'Love's Lightning Heart' were my favourite stories. I also loved the pin-ups that were sprinkled throughout.
