Pornographic comic anthology "for women." Pretty much what it says on the tin. Diverse, mix of genres, queerness normalized. A lot of the comics don't have any words, and some have interesting visual devices. There were a few that were really good but more generally pretty much just what I expected. Recommended if you are specifically looking for (fairly) feminist medium-core erotic comics.

Are you looking to have a good, smutty time while reading but don't have the time to read a full novel? Well then do I have the anthology comic for you. This book has over 20 bite-sized erotic comics, all of which I really enjoyed. These comics are full of diversity in terms of gender, race, sexuality, body-type, species, kinks, etc. I decided to rate it a 4 because more than half of the comics I would individually rate that way. That said, there genuinely wasn't a single comic in this entire anthology I didn't enjoy.

My super brief thoughts one each comic are as follows (ones in bold were my favourites):

Just Friends : m/m, disabled mc
Meet Cute : f/m, dom/sub
Asteroid! : f/m, woc, sci-fi
A Boy & His Tenta-Bot : male mc, masturbation robot, dubcon, sci-fi
Love Lorn : m/f, sci-fi
Once Upon a Time... : f/f
Easy : m/m/f, polyamory
The Feather : f/f, employer/employee dynamics, historical
Oil For Water : m/f, SFF
Travesty : m/m, asian mc, age difference, historical
Kung Fu Hustlers : f/m, fat mc
Computer Love : m/f, exhibitionism, soft sci-fi
French Vanilla : m/m, bdsm
Love it Loud : wlw mc, f/m, voyeurism, fantasy
Overboard : f/m, trans mc, pirates
Wicked Switch : m/f, body swap, roleplay
Yes and No : m/m, historical
Extended Version : m/m, m/f, f/f, soft sci-fi
Busking Beguile : nb/m, sapphic orgy, historical
The Hand : f/f, fat mc's, woc's
A Hymn to Prosymnus : m/m, greek mythology
Fixer-Upper : f/f, robot, sci-fi
Thistlebed : m/f, woc, fat mc, satyr/plant lady
The Annunciation : m/f, fantasy
Fiends With Benefits : m/f, incubus

I actually read this last year when I got the .pdf version from the Kickstarter project, the physical book was delivered earlier this year. I found the Kickstarter when one of my friends announced that she was contributing a piece to the project. Perhaps not my usual reading material, but I really enjoyed all of it -- I don't remember there being a bad entry in the bunch, and quite a few extremely good stories. Not at all disappointed to have it in my collection, and I'll be adding the second volume when it's Kickstarter project goes live.

Ate this up with a spoon. Some pieces have density that will stay with you longer than others; most have really clever, fantastical, twisty ways of queering up literary/graphic pornography with body diversity, non-traditional sexual pairings and interesting backdrops (from futuristic Bedouin camps to frat parties to fin de siècle Europe and back, no lie). Some are playful and almost precious in their youthful, fanfic-style wistfulness; all display an insane range of artistic talent with frequent narrative depth that reaches beyond one dimension and can leave you a little breathless, bada-boom). If you're a sex-positive perv who craves seeing women rock a male dominated genre with wit, finesse, whimsy, intelligence and smoking-hot sex, nab a copy of the eBook from the Iron Circus website.

This books is so hot it burns! Lots of great erotic comics by lots of artists in a variety of styles and configurations. If you don't like sex, you'll not like this.
