My comic book club will be reading DC Pride: The New Generation so I decided to pick this collection up first to prepare and compare.
This is a collection of a dozen different short stories, following different characters and brought to life by different writers and artists. I find that with any story collection, your mileage may vary from tale to tale, and these stories are very short: you get a snapshot of action, a glimpse of personality. I was not familiar with most of the characters (which was not unexpected, as I don't read a huge amount of DC comics, nor superhero comics in general) but I still found most of the stories entertaining.
I appreciate that the stories in this collection do not necessarily focus on a character's queerness, and although the stories are generally positive, not every character is in a perfect place in their life. Overall I am very pleased with this collection.
