Open Earth

oh I read this awhile ago and forgot to review it on GoodReads! Anyway it's super fun and I'd recommend if you're looking for some sexy sci-fi adventures. I especially like that it engages with climate change (and how we're p fucked...figuratively but also literally, bc this is sexy!) but is ultimately hopeful and inclusive.

I have to say what everyone thinks about this graphic novel when they first encounter it: the representation is great and very well-appreciated. The art was enjoyable, though less polished (though I don't think that's the exact word I'm looking for) than I normally like. I liked the galactic setting though I don't think it added anything to the story than as a writing tool to comment on “old-fashioned” approaches to relationships in our current Earth-ways. It was cool to see that being in an open relationship was the norm for the “first-generation”-ers but it also excluded the option of monogamy. I loved the main character's personality and her body confidence was again, very well-appreciated.

I would definitely like to see more rep of this nature, I just don't know if I enjoyed its storytelling in this graphic as much as I thought I would.
