Queer

3.5 stars.

The art is decent, but wildly under-utilized for something that is a graphic history. It also still smacks of academia, although academia-light, so it will still be slog for some people. There is quite a bit of information being thrown at one as one reads it, so it probably requires multiple readings to fully process the information. But it also gives some good background on queer theory (which is, actually, the focus of the book) more than queer history per se. Some things perhaps needed a bit more explanation, were too summarized, especially for someone new to queer history and theory. Don't go into it expecting sequential art, and don't go into it expecting a light read. And go into realizing you'll probably have to look into more things to fully comprehend what is being discussed. Luckily, they have resources in the back.
