I was not a fan of how detailed the child SA scene was and did not see a need to depict it in that way. The art is by far the best and most interesting part of this one-shot. Granted, I’m sure that I wasn’t the target audience as an American lesbian, and maybe the queer male audience does find that the story accurately and appropriately represents some of their experiences. It’s an extremely quick read so, if you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. At least the art is gorgeous to look at (save for the pedophile moment).
