Was looking for a book on queer history — not whatever this was
I found this book to be misleading - it's more theory than history, and more illustrated than graphic. The writing wasn't very accessible and was honestly kind of boring. I definitely learned some new things about queer theory, but overall I think there are better resources out there.

A great introduction the academic history of queer theory in a highly digestible format. Although not everyone will agree with the way the author has chosen topics or how they’ve written about them, as someone new to this area it’s given me the vocabulary I needed to dig deeper into queer theory.

This is a great introduction to academic queer theories and their history. I think they make a great job of explaining super complex texts and ideas in simple terms that are easy to understand. Some of these ideas I think aren't too clear even in this graphic novel, but I think that's okay since it's only an introduction, and they provide plenty of material for people to keep reading on the topics / authors they find interesting. I would really recommend it as a starting point.
QUEER was a really helpful theoretical primer on the past, present, and future of queerness. It works as a great starting point for folks if they want to fan out from here and read some of specific books and thinkers mentioned. Unfortunately, I think it didn’t know whether it wanted to be a graphic novel or just one of those tiny Introduction books. In fact, because it tried to do both, it was almost like a picture book with a lot of fast references to names and ideas but little depth—with accompanying art. That was disappointing. Still, I think QUEER is an accessible resource that covers an extraordinary amount of dense, intersectional ground, and I will definitely excerpt from it in my high school LGBTQ Studies elective.
