Beyond: The Queer Sci-Fi and Fantasy Comic Anthology | ed. Sfe R. Monster, ed. Taneka Stotts
11 posts | 13 read | 32 to read
Beyond is an anthology of queer sci-fi and fantasy comics. Featuring 18 stories by 26 contributors, Beyond is a 250 page, black and white, queer comic anthology, full of swashbuckling space pirates, dragon slayers, death-defying astronauts, and monster royalty. Each story celebrates and showcases unquestionably queer characters as they explore the galaxy, mix magic, have renegade adventures, and save the day!
The Beyond Anthology was born from a desire to see stories inspired by people like us (queer people with diverse genders and sexualities) slaying dragons, piloting spaceships, getting into trouble, and saving the daywithout having to read for their queerness from between the lines. We wanted to see beautiful, heartwarming, and adventurous stories that reflect and celebrate the many facets of gender and sexuality, without having to worry that their queerness would cast them as a villain, a pariah, or turn them into a cautionary tale.
Beyond is edited by Sf R. Monster, assistant edited by Taneka Stotts, and features a group of 26 contributors who have created 18 exceptional all-ages stories that showcase and celebrate openly and unabashedly queer characters in science fiction and fantasy-based settings.

So excited about this #bookmail! 😃
Backing the reprint of volume one and the making of volume two last year was my first time participating in a kickstarter - and here are the glorious rewards!
It‘s safe to say my weekend is sufficiently booked 😄

ghosthost Ooh! Hopefully, I‘ll get mine soon. 7y

Beyond is an anthology of queer sci-fi and fantasy stories. It was put together for a Kickstarter a couple years ago. The stories are really varied and unique. Some are hit or miss for me, but the passion put into this book is clearly evident. I recommend giving it a read if you can.

queerbookreader You have this book 😍😍 I heard they're funding for a second volume? 7y
ShansMousey Yep! 7y

Mehso-so

So...I feel a little guilty that I didn't love this more. I love the concept, and I am thrilled to support Trans Lifeline with the purchase, and I really, really, REALLY want to see more and better LGBTQ+ representation in comics, but I found the actual stories here quite hit-or-miss. And the one quasi-native "Twin Souled" comic makes me a little skeptical about appropriation. Pictured are my two favorite pieces.

The Queer Scifi and Fantasy Comic Anthology is a blast to read. There are some stories that are a little sad or serious, but most of them feature Queer people on fun and exciting adventures. It has a lot of heart and I swooned for several of these stories. Get yourself a copy soon! There's a sequel coming. 😃
