By far, worst book on consent I have read to date. This book was a mess.
Let's start with the good - which won't take long. The art is good. I appreciate someone trying to do a graphic novel on consent. And that's all I can say that was good.
Now for the rest...
This book was a catastrophe. The text is almost unreadable it is so poorly thought out. The actual mechanics for reading the conversations are awful. The conversations themselves are so far from natural that it shouldn't have been included at all. In fact, the text is so strained and so awkward and unbelievable that I feel it works *against* the idea of consent.
The content is not good. The stories the author wrote don't accomplish what they set out to do. They don't make sense, they aren't relatable at all and come across as a bit sloppy or even lazy. The author is trying so so so hard to "teach you something" that it becomes a muddled mess of absolutely nothing.
At best, I would say the author should forget the consent angle, keep the art, and rebrand this as porn. That's honestly all it is. There is not worthwhile discussion on consent here. This has no nuance, this wont further consent culture, this won't help anyone talk about consent better or more often. This book should be enjoyed for the art and that's it.
Very disappointed.

SO horny and SO cute. Would recommend to anybody looking for representations of queer intimacy/sex that celebrate the niche and avoid the tragic.

I was taken aback when I started reading this as I must have missed the genre when choosing this to review from Netgalley. If you have missed it, this is very NSFW.
Anyway, I like that this is about the different and diverse relationships of superheroes. Even though it touches on the diverse types of relationships, I left feeling empty after finishing reading this.

This was like, really good. Initially I wasn't going to read this because the description didn't sound queer but literally all 5 of the stories are queer! And so diverse, there's a genderfluid character, and fat characters, and POC. Consent is discussed, thoroughly, in a couple of the stories. Just all around really great!
