Super Fun Sexy Times Vol. 1
by Meredith McClaren
I'll be upfront and say that I somehow missed the "erotica" tag on Netgalley when I first downloaded this graphic novel, so it did take me off-guard a little bit to see how explicit the scenes were! I wasn't going to mention that in this review until I noticed some other reviewers saying they had similar experiences, so I just want to point that out for anyone who may not be comfortable viewing explicit materials. It didn't bother me, it just surprised me a little. 😅
With that out of the way, Super Fun Sexy Times is an absolutely gorgeous, adorable, and inclusive AS HELL anthology about superheroes and their romantic escapades. There is just such a wide variety of rep in here — we've got characters of varying races, sexualities, identities, and body types — and they're all so soft and sweet and lovable. There's a bit of exploration into some kinks, and what I loved most of all is how consent-focused the stories were. In some of the stories, the romantic partners literally sit down, fully clothed and non-sexual, to discuss things ahead of time, and I thought that was such a fantastic representation of what consent talks need to look like for a lot of couples (especially when kinks and exploration are involved!).
All in all, I just thought this was such an important, necessarily, lovely, and well-crafted graphic novel and I'm really appreciative that I had the chance to read it. ♥
Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
