review 1: I feel a little bit cruel for saying this but seriously, dudes, I have read many better GLBT anthologies, including better bi ones, better sexually diverse ones (like uhmmm the Gender Outlaws redux), and better comics (Juicy Mother!). I felt like I should respect this for its scope and its celebration of a legacy of bi cartoonists, but it's really didactic, and even some of my faves (Erika Moen, Sam of Rooster Tails) don't save it. Alas.
review 2: Although a little basic in terms of gender analysis and queer theory, this collection was thoroughly enjoyable and addressed some of the major quandraries of being bisexual or queer. I'll admit, it was nice to see some of my own struggles with sexual identity put into ink. Can you still be bi if you're in a hetero re... morelationship? Does being bi mean you can't be monogamous? What about gender non-conforming partners? Although this book provides no answers (because we all know there's no real right or wrong when it comes to identity politics) it was a fun read. Glad to have supported this project through Kickstarter. less
