ELEMENTS: Fire A Comic Anthology by Creators of Color! by Taneka Stotts
3.0
As with most comic anthologies, some of the entries are well crafted short comics, and some of them feel cut-off without enough development to be satisfying. Some of the art was to my taste, and some not. Altogether, though, this collection was of steady quality, and showcases a diverse array of talent and perspectives.
Interestingly, I noticed that several of the works had a theme of anti-colonialism and respect for foreign/alien cultures. It's a theme I'd be surprised to see from a white author, much less three in the same anthology, which I think speaks to the importance of a collection like this that showcases the stories of those who have been historically oppressed and marginalized, and brings their values to the forefront.
