Prokaryote Season by Leo Fox
5.0
Mentally ill TvsT queer weird freaks, my beloveds <3
A really interesting graphic novel, both in style and in story, this novel follows three nonbinary people through a world where the forest can make you fall ill - but when you're a weird trans person what else are you supposed to do but party in the forest? There's also a messy love triangle and the mess is the point, which I adored. They are all quite off-putting characters and yet I also love them all in their flawedness and I feel my younger self deepy, shamefully seen at points.
Would the primordial soup have saved any of them? No, but they would have been much less interesting if they weren't so full of yearning and so caught up in their own suffering.
The pages are drawn in black and white and I really enjoyed the art style, as well as the many little details in it and I will definitely check out more of Leo Fox's work!
5/5 Starmen, 100% recommending this to my fellow weird queers & if you've ever been in a weird situationship with another trans person you too will feel seen <3
