This is about a trans woman who gets kidnapped by a queer Latinx woman and the two end up working together. I found this on a list of queer releases for the second half of the year and when I went to Netgalley and saw that it was Read Now, I picked it up immediately and I don't regret it one bit. What an absolute delight of a graphic novel! Not a disappointing GN and will get the author's other books, especially the Steven Universe ones. These characters have interesting attributes but due to the length of the story, they aren't explored much, everything is on the surface only. The plot, a wild-wild west adventure between a transwoman, Grace and a villain turned sweetheart, Flo. Gillman is a colored pencils artist and her illustration has the calmness vibe to it. Picturing myself doing the same thing, the paper in the vintage typewriter will have Chapter One, typed repeatedly and the drawings will make people think that I'm a gifted newborn. What impresses me the most is, Gillman is the author and illustrator for this. This GN made it to the best of LGBTQ Graphic Novels of 2O19 and thankfully the ebook is available on Google Play. It is different from my school days where more of my comics confiscated than totally not mine skin magazines. Just go into it without any expectations and ready to have a rollicking time.įact - It is easier to purchase lesbian/gay erotica than LGBTQ graphic novels. And I especially loved the cotillion gowns.įinally, I just wanna say that if you love westerns or queer graphic novels, you should definitely check this one out because it’ll leave you with a big smile on your face. The color palette and style feel very appropriate for the dry New Mexico setting, while also giving out a cutesy vibe. The art style is also very unique, and while I didn’t know anything about how colored pencil art would work for a graphic novel, it’s perfect here. This story is hella cute and sweet, and so full of acceptance that it made me very happy. Though Flor kidnaps Grace, they eventually settle on a plan to work together and what follows is a cute adventure of their own where they discover some truths about themselves and develop feelings in the process. Grace is a trans southern belle running from her family because she doesn’t wanna fight in the war and has dreams of her own, while Flor is the stylish queer Latinx outlaw who robs stagecoaches and wants to save money for a secure future.
And I don’t think I’ve ever read a western, so I decided to give it a try.Īs it’s just 100 pages long, I didn’t expect a lot of plot or character development, just something fun - and it totally delivered on that aspect. I read a few reviews for this graphic novel across the blogosphere and was interested in it, especially because I’m always on the lookout for new discoveries.
