Meh. This was okay, I guess, but Derrick's characterization was all over the place. Sometimes he was the nicest and most tender and affirming dude, and then he'd have an internalized homophobia/femmephobia meltdown. Belleau handles that kind of progression with considerably more grace in the Rear Entrance Video series - I was surprised to see that this was actually published more recently.
