Content Warnings

Graphic: Sexual content, Sexual assault, Forced institutionalization, Torture, Sexual violence, and Confinement

Minor: Transphobia

This graphic novel includes graphic depictions of sexual torture against ones will, but it is not glorified. Rather, consent to sexual exploration is framed in a favorable light.

5.0

I've been reading graphic novels for about five years. This is by far my favorite.

The description on the back says it's like HandMaidens Tale meets Sex Criminals. Its spot on, sex positive, and all inclusive.

3.0

Follows a diverse set of queer sex workers some years after the rise of a puritan US government, ala the handmaids tale. Some recurring flashbacks from 3 years earlier when their main site was raided and shutdown, seen in the opening pages, as different folk from that time went their different ways. The art styles are quite mixed, done by different people, which can be a little jarring following the characters. More focus on the sociopolitical scene for this one.
