A fun gift for kids during Pride month. This book will appeal to comic book fans who are looking for a gift or a coffee table book.

This is a fun encyclopedia style book covers the DC Universe's LGBTQIA+ characters. While the entries dont go to much in to detail but the information it provides is enough to garner interest in the characters it highlights and the worlds they inhabit.

A good introductory to queer DC characters. I liked the artwork and the layout of facts. I did not like that the types of facts were not consistent and maybe would have preferred if the connected characters were sorted together. There was an issue on some pages where part of the bottom lines of some text were slightly cut off.

I grew up in a Marvel family so I didn’t know a lot about the DC world, other than the obvious Batman, Superman & Wonder woman. So it was really interesting to learn about the queer characters in the DC Universe, and boy were there more of them than I expected. I can’t wait for my friends kids to be old enough to enjoy this book so I can share this with them.

I loved the concept of this book. I don't know too much about superheroes, but I love all things gay, hence why I read the book. The artwork in the book was really pretty. I also really liked how each superhero had a "Data File" at the bottom of their page with a list of which comic book they first appeared in, their allies, and their likes & dislikes. Some of the descriptions of each superhero were a bit boring, but overall, this book was great!

I am often a fan of DK Publishing. Being a fan of DC and LGBTQIA+ representation, I knew this book would be a good fit for me and would likely share it with my middle-grade student. I was absolutely correct! Taking the time to read the introduction and the glossary adds to the intention of this book. I loved the inclusion of a tidbit of history about how queer characters existed in DC comics before they were allowed. Of course, the artwork is lovely and the descriptions/summaries are just enough to introduce readers to the characters. Knowing where to begin with an interest in comics can be overwhelming, but it can be an amazing community to participate in. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a starting point in DC through an inclusive lens or to anyone who is simply interested in an overview of the topic.
