Bingo Love Volume 1: Jackpot Edition by Gail Simone, Marguerite Bennett, Tee Franklin
5.0

This story is so important - a beautiful, sad, then joyful celebration of "Black Queer Grandmas" (as the author calls them endearingly) falling and staying in Love throughout their lives. The graphic novel Snap Dragon has a parallel story too of a forbidden love that separates the protagonists, but then life brings them back together in unexpected ways. A truly beautiful story.

The jackpot edition has one subissue that directly deals with sex/their "first time" so keep that in mind when sharing with younger readers. Absolutely wonderful story. Looking forward to more and more graphic novels with LGBTQ+ themes, Black and Brown protagonists as well as AAPI.
