chuckroLumberjanes (volumes 18-20) – The end of summer finally arrives, but it doesn’t go out on a whimper. The girls all do their “last big thing”, the story of the first Lumberjane is revealed, and most of the guest-star characters reappear for a big finale which reveals a monstrous being trapped by the magical woods with a really unsurprising weakness (the power of friendship). Honestly this series went on a little too long—I think they spent too long as a semi-anthology series with rotating creators before finally getting back to pay off material from the first few volumes—but it was adorable throughout. I continue to heartily recommend the first few volumes of this series to anyone who likes ADVENTURE! regardless.
At the Jersey City Pride Festival, I bought a “Bi Box” of comics (and assorted stickers and trinkets) for $60; which is egregious for five comic books but it was supporting indie queer creators.
Bi Visibility #1-2 and Rainbow Canvas #1 – These are anthology books, which carried the usual set of problems of being a thoroughly mixed bag, though the fact that it was basically all personal stories by bisexual creators made it appealing to me regardless. The story that was basically a big response to the fan reaction of Tim Drake (Robin) being bi warmed my heart. The latter book included links to a number of Webtoon series that it teased, but none of them leapt out at me as things I really cared about pursuing.
Slice of Life (Issues #1-2) – This was originally written as webtoon episodes, and it shows in the episodic nature of the story. It stars two sisters, and the protagonist of one’s favorite anime (“Lady Vengeance”) is mysteriously brought into the real world, where she starts a budding romance with the other sister. Fish out of water comedy and queer romance; two great tastes that go great together.
