ZINES
Homobody by Rio Safari, reviewed by Quinn
"This zine makes me giggle. Funny critiques of mainstream gay culture, drawings of crushworthy 'doods' and homobodies, dorky queer punk boys with all different body types, and yes, lots of sex. #4 and #6 are my personal favs."
My Brain Hurts vol. 1, by Liz Baille, reviewed by Quinn
"I'd never really been into comics before I read this book, and was immediately immersed in it. As a queer teenager, I'd read countless books about gay teens and found them mostly all lifeless. But the characters in 'My Brain Hurts' were far from that. It's funny, awkward, and pretty great. Well worth a read."
The Roaming Heart/Summertime by Gina Siciliano, reviewed by FG
"Sicilano's drawings feel like a warm blanket on a cold night. I am drawn to their honesty about trauma and continually dealing with coping mechanisms that don't always work the way they are intended, or perhaps don't look like what is considered normatively 'healthy,' as well as beauty and ugliness affiliated with perpetually breaking apart and healing."
