This is a series of short fairy tale comics focused on queer women, and it's great! A pretty quick read, but I liked the way that Gillman played with the traditiona fairy tale narrative. Some of these have potential to be expanded into full stories later on, I think!
I also enjoyed the aesthetic of the art. The colored pencils for the illustrations are so colorful and it really helps in bringing the stories to life.
