This is a fun volume! A bit of a mixed bag like, dare I say, most anthologies. It included some characters I'm not as familiar with and I personally preferred the stories about like, Wiccan and Hulking and Mystique and Destiny.
This is also a weird blend of new stories written just for Pride and some older reprints of notable “Pride” themed stories and I have to say uhhHHHHH I wish the older stories had maybe also gotten a little essay attached to provide added context or something? Like for example the BONKERS Hulk story where Sam Wilson's nephew is dying of AIDS and asks for a Hulk blood transfusion to see if it will cure AIDS and Bruce says no and then he dies? Meanwhile Betty answers a phone call from someone who found out he's HIV+ and wants to kill himself and she's like "this isn't a suicide hotline let me give you the number for that" and he's like "but I like your voice" and she's like "ok well don't kill yourself, everybody's got problems, for example I am married to the Hulk" and he's like "hm interesting well I am calling from my car phone and I am parking my car on the train tracks, goodbye" and then the issue ends with that guy getting hit by a train?!?! Happy Pride?!?!??!
