BEYOND: The Queer Sci-Fi & Fantasy Comic Anthology features 18 stories by 26 incredible contributors, celebrating unquestionably queer characters hailing from across the spectrum of gender and sexuality, front and centre as the heroes of their own stories.The hardcover edition of the Beyond Anthology is 272 pages of black and white comics from a diverse roster of contributors, with stories starring swashbuckling space pirates, legendary dragon slayers, death-defying astronauts, monster queen royalty, and more!… (meer)
Some standouts, in order of appearance (now with illustrations!):
"Luminosity" (****) It took me a reread to understand what the characters are talking about, which I don't think was intentional, but once I did I was really into it.
"A Royal Affair" (*****) Possibly my favorite! Pirates, royalty, adventure, and outrageous flirting.
"Duty and Honor" (*****) I didn't immediately warm to either the art or the subject, but it won me over and made me cry.
"O Type Hypergiant" (****.5) I love the melding of classic gay erotic art styles and sci fi. The last panel gives me chills.
"The Next Day" (**) Too distracted by wondering how anyone survives to do anything for more than a month if the sun has gone out? Eating meat is only going to take you so far. Are the rabbits cannibalistic now?
Some other favorites, which don't have a lot else to say about: "Mourning Tea", "They Simply Pass", "Barricade". ( )
I love the concept. I love that by buying a copy this past week, my money went to Trans Lifeline. I want LGBTQ characters and issues to have more and better representation in comics. I think this comic is a fantastic step in that direction.
But I did not love it. I found the quality of the stories themselves extremely hit-or-miss. There were a few gems, but there were enough that I just felt like I was scrolling through. I am also looking cautiously at the quasi-Native comic "Twin Souled" that seems like it's got a bit of appropriation going on. My faves were "The Monster Queen" and "The Dragon Slayer's Son." ( )
