Review of The Wedding Banquet

There is this thing they do in movie trailers that I like to call the Robin Williams effect (my partner just calls it false advertising), where they pull every funny moment out of a drama and then say, look, it’s a screwball comedy, when it actually has a lot of deeply emotional moments.   This was … Continue reading Review of The Wedding Banquet

Review of Lesbian historical Graphic Novel JOE THE PIRATE by Hubert and Virginie Augustin

As I start writing this review of Graphic Novel JOE THE PIRATE, I am conflicted. I am a massive fan of queer historical figures, especially gender non-conforming ones.

Review of Young Men in Love: New Romance from Wave Blue World

I have a love/hate relationship with anthologies and showcases. On the one hand, I love to see a variety of creators getting to present their material. On the other hand, a lot of times, it means you get a snippet when the project could really use a longer treatment. I was worried about that when … Continue reading Review of Young Men in Love: New Romance from Wave Blue World
