I could go on and on about how beautiful this book is and how well written the stories are. But, instead, I would suggest that you just go buy a copy. It is stunning. By day, I am a teacher of high school students that use comics in the classroom. I will certainly be adding a copy of this to my classroom library. These stories are so important. Everyone needs to see themselves represented in comics and now is a great time for these historically underrepresented groups to shine. I want my students to see themselves represented just like I want to see everyone represented. Please, go out and get this book. Buy an extra copy if you can to gift to someone who might need to read it. Read Full Review

Everyone involved in DC Pride #1 should be proud of their work on this book. The stories assembled here are all about the heroic ideals of Truth, Justice and Freedom and tap into the core of what superhero stories should be. Anyone who finds anything objectionable about this would do well to read more comics. Read Full Review

DC Pride #1 is glorious. I love it. You should love it too. The choice of the word glorious there is a nod to the intro written by Marc Andrekyo. I am sure most people planned on skipping it. Don't. Seriously. He says everything I want to say here, in that essay. Buy this book. Give it to people you love. Give it to people who have open minds and to people with closed minds. Buy. Read. Repeat. Read Full Review

To put it simply, DC Pride is something I"and so many other LGBTQ+ readers"would have loved to read growing up, which makes its arrival in 2021 a source of celebration and pride. Read Full Review

Adorable, emotionful and immensely important short story that puts Harlivy in its place as the cutest girlfriends of DC, and that goes to the necessary lengths to make them justice. Overall, really happy about this, and, if you're a fan of them, there's no way you won't enjoy it! Read Full Review

DC Pride #1 is a fantastic showcase not just for DC Comics' LGBTQ+ characters, but the company's LGBTQ+ creators too as they capture a range of relationships, feelings, sexualities, and gender identities. There's a lot of focus on established romantic relationships, but some of the stories explore activism, community, and the Midnighter/Extrano/John Constantine is a straight up adventure yarn. I enjoyed seeing myself and my queer siblings uplifted in this comic and hope DC can do something more ongoing with these characters, situations, and especially creators. Read Full Review

This is really well done overall. Read Full Review

Overall, this may be the best anthology, top to bottom, that DC has ever put out. Near-perfect with stories ranging from good to spectacular. Read Full Review

DC Pride #1 is a treasure of fun and inclusivity that a lot of storytelling platforms could truly learn from. Please grab this wonderful book and celebrate Pride Month with this, and the many other great DC books that have special Pride covers; most of which can be seen above. Read Full Review

Tynion starts this anthology off with a story of self acceptance and learning to find comfort in who you are. Navigating through the alienating trenches of life can feel almost suffocating. This creative team put together a powerful story to show their love for Batwoman. Absolutely a beautiful story that hit me close to home. Read Full Review

"Be Gay, Do Crime" is a fun, stylish story confronting systemic injustice. Yet, while the comic introduces a new queer character alongside Pied Piper, that characters queer identity remains strangely out of frame. Read Full Review

Despite any qualms around performativity or rainbow-washing I may have with DC, the comic itself contains a plethora of great stories, ranging from cute and charming to heartfelt and intriguing accompanied by gorgeous pinups and cool interviews from DC TV stars. Definitely worth picking up for some fun content and to show DC that this kind of issue is something worth continuing. Read Full Review

I’m bipolar. Please don’t lump me in with bigots. Can’t we just call them bigots? Why drag the mentally ill into it? (I’m mostly joking because I know you didn’t mean it that way. Still, can we not?)

Okay DC I'll bite. Being an LBGT+ myself I should probably love this book. Well I didn't, more like just eh, okay and go read something else. Most of the one-shots were good except for Harley/Ivy which has Ivy acting massively OOC for even the pairing to work anymore, which is sad. Why does Ivy care about what happens to the people? Why is she not screeching at Harley for hurting her plant blechy monster baby? Why does she only get one fucking line but Harley is jabbering nonsense for the whole issue. At least the art was decent-ish? I wish the pin-up were better too. Catman was the only one that was a pin-up.

An Okay book for queers like me but I wouldn't pay the price of admission.

Wasn that bad, but could have been better. Only a couple issues I really liked.

Full disclosure I am straight, but I realize the importance of pride given how many gay friends I have had in my life. Also, I can't believe it's 2021 and we still have people with boogeyman ideas of people based on their skin colour and sexual preferences. We only recently had a huge technological boom, maybe we've been thinking wrong this whole time about how advanced our civilization is. Our tech may seem futuristic, but our discrimination comparatively seems prehistoric in nature. Sorry, to the dinosaurs for generalizing. May they RIP.

The book was okay, but to someone it may be more.

To be honest, I didn't hate or like this issue. It just felt like more relationship stuff than actual action in the issue. I also particularly think that Midnighter and Batwoman (the comic version) are pretty cool characters, but this is for sure not their best work.

So for what is ultimately an extremely middling book, this sure has gotten a lot of ire. Most of the stories here should elicit a response from the reader that can only be described as "Eh." For what little it matters to this conversation, I am a member of the LGBT+ community. I'm pansexual. That doesn't matter here because I think the genuine criticisms of this book are universal, and the rest of what you see in these user reviews is horseshit. I'll quickly run down each story and give my thoughts, and then I will address the... absurdity on display in these user reviews. Such is the benefit of reviewing your comics in bulk (and falling hopelessly behind because life doesn't care about your hobbies.)

"The Wrong Side of the Looking Glass" by James Tynion IV is... fine. I don't know what it is about Batwoman, but I find her hopelessly boring most of the time. Her costume is a 10/10, I loved her in 52, but god help me if I have to read another fucking story about her terrible sister. But the moral of the story is ultimately a good one: Don't be ashamed for being different; You aren't alone. Nice moral that I completely agree with, I just find the path there boring as hell.

"By the Victors" by Steve Orlando is probably my second favorite story of the anthology, which is crazy since it's Steve Orlando, but I've heard in the past that he is exceptionally good at writing Midnighter, so maybe that explains it. Besides an odd framing device that doesn't really add anything to the story and features John Constantine of all people, I do think this is well-written. Straightwashing is a thing, even with history. Historical figures like Gandhi or Alexander the Great have been straightwashed because bisexuality is uncomfortable. And that's not getting into news media and entertainment.

"Try the Girl" by Vita Ayala is okay. It's just not a very engaging story. It's very contemporary, and I'm sure that may resonate with other people, but for me. I genuinely come away from it having forgotten most of it already. It's just not very memorable, sorry.

"Another Word for a Truck to Move Your Furniture" by Mariko Tamaki is alright. I don't have much affinity for the Harley/Ivy relationship. I just really dislike Harley and don't really care about Ivy. But this wasn't bad and had a candidness to it that I really wish Harley would have more often.

"He's the Light of My Life!" by Sam Johns is actually my favorite story here. I was surprised because I don't think the writer does a good job with their Punchline backups over in Joker. But I thought this was a really good exploration of how especially older men who grew up in more oppressive times end up feeling trapped with their sexuality. And I think it's very heartwarming that Alan could learn from his son to come out and be happy about who he was. This is genuinely a great story.

"Clothes Makeup Gift" by Danny Lore is such an odd story. It feels like it could be written for any backup in the Flash or for any anthology, and they just pasted it in this one to meet that page count. It's not very good, it's just bland, which could be because it's the Flash.

"Be Gay, Do Crime" by Sina Grace is... atrocious. If I was writing a slanderous, anti-gay comic, I'd make the gay character sound like Drummer Boy. This is embarrassing. Sina Grace, it's fine if you want to be a 90s gay sitcom character, but you write literally every gay character like that and it really gets annoying. I don't think writing an obnoxious know-it-all super indignant person as the mouthpiece for what is actually a very valid complaint is the way to go. Landlords are taking part in a predatory business that affects more oppressed people even worse than just the average joe, but is nonetheless barbaric either way. Don't make people hate that concept as a gut reaction to it being put in the most obnoxious way possible. This is the worst story here.

"Date Night" by Nicole Maines falls into the same trap as the Flash story. It just seems like it could exist anywhere, and it's an average story that doesn't do anything interesting.

"Love Life" by Andrew Wheeler is messy. It tries to do too much in the space it has, and it is not an amazing debut of the JLQ like they seem to what it to be. I came away from this just sort of annoyed by its pacing and its overall structure. The idea was too big for... what, 8 pages?

Now onto the astounding complaints!

First up is Merlyn. In his review, he complains about the Pride DC logo, saying "I do have a question: why does the DC logo on this book have all those extra-colors? The LGBT flag is obvious, the trans flag I can get too (even though the "T" in LGBT already covers that), but what are the black and brown for? Wasn't this about sexuality, it's also about race too? If so, intersectionality is a dangerous type of thinking and DC does no one good with supporting this ideological stance."

The reason the logo has all those extra colors is because the Pride Flag was redesigned in 2018 by Daniel Quasar to emphasize progress around inclusion. The baby blue, pink and white (which are not on the typical rainbow flag, hence the need to be introduced in a new flag) represent trans people. Yes, the acronym covers everything, what does that have to do with the flag though? The black and brown stripes are to highlight LGBT people of color, a group that needs inclusion, representation and comradery now more than ever, as they have to deal with all the oppression associated with being LGBT, along with all the oppression associated with being of color! And Merlyn was able to connect the dots on that one, I am so proud. It is a form of intersectionality, which is simply the idea that people can be discriminated against for one thing or another, but if they're both things, the discrimination can be "interesected" and therefore be even more intolerable. Nothing about that is dangerous, Merlyn. It's just common sense!

Maud Benjamin's whole review says, "Alan caused the train crash that killed a lot of people because the conductor was busy having sex with him and wasn't doing his job. How is this respecting gay people?"

And my response is, shockingly, no he didn't! The reason the train crashed is not because their gay sex was too hot and steamy for that poor little-engine-that-could to take! The reason the train derailed is because business rival to Alan Scott, Albert Dekker, sabotaged a railway bridge after the train company chose Alan Scott's company to build said bridge. Learn your continuities, kids!

Articulat3 had a charming review that went as follows: "As expected all the "professional" reviewers give it glowing reviews. Everybody has loved Harley, Ivy since forever, nobody cared they were LGBT. You guys need to be releasing this book in the Middle East, thats where they actually have a problem with intolerance towards LGBT. Stop writing down to your audience here. You can write LGBT and minority characters without making it there only personality trait. Constantine is bisexual and nobody gave a shit, the problem is you guys write bad stories for alot of these characters. If you actually care about lgbt/minorities write them properly and not as mascots for your social views."

My response to this is of course professional reviewers will give this book glowing praise. It's not like they actually read these things! And actually, I happen to know that plenty of Harley/Ivy lovers love them for the representation they give to the LGBT community as a prominent lesbian couple! Oh, and comics are available in the middle east. I'm not sure if this one will make it though, due to oppressive laws. But I think we can all agree that we shouldn't harp on social issues if they don't affect us westerners. That's just science! But seriously, given how dogshit some of these reviews are, DC isn't writing down to anything. Some of you clearly don't know shit about LGBT rights. I can't think of a single character in this anthology whose whole personality trait was being LGBT or a minority. The closest character to that was Drummer Boy, but even they were also anti-landlords. Fun fact about Constantine, it took a decade for anyone to actually portray him as openly bisexual. Before that it was an offhanded comment made once. And even when he was finally adapted into film and later into his own TV show, that bisexuality was conveniently excluded. I wonder why, if everyone was totally fine with it. Maybe it says something about what was socially accepted and what wasn't, not even 10 years ago. What you'll find is that a lot of LGBT people and minorities agree with the social views that you deem them mascots of in these stories. These stories were literally written by them. It turns out, gays like rights. I'm as surprised as you must be.

Foxter had a terrible point with their review: "This why the comicbook industry is dying. You just has to compare the users and "critics" rating, there is dissonance here. Dc and Marvel continue to make comics for an audience that dont give a shit about them."

The comic book industry is not dying, despite the constant doomsayers that have been screaming literally my entire lifetime. To think that this website is an indicator of the general reception of any comic is ridiculous. We are a small, fringe community. We aren't representative of any general trends, I promise you. And actually, a lot of LGBT people are comic book fans and as with literally every form of entertainment, you want to diversify your audiences to get the most product out there and the most money you can. Basic business.

Sup3rsa1yan1990 had a spasm and out came, "🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮".

Truly insightful. This is someone who believes in a conspiracy theory called Cultural Marxism. This is a far-right anti-semitic conspiracy theory that states there is a concerted effort to subvert and undermine western and traditional Christian values. Don't believe me? Look, he says so himself: https://imgur.com/Y2uvqkY Oh, and google Cultural Marxism. The wikipedia article is very helpful!

Rasiel posted a brain-dead take: "The author’s introduction celebrates that the characters presented in this anthology “are no longer defined by who they are.” What an accurate depiction of wokism: it doesn’t matter who you are as an individual, all that matters is how your race, gender, or sexual orientation can be used to facilitate divisiveness."

Psycamorean - Jun 22, 2021

First, the introduction was written by Marc Andreyko, who doesn't have any stories in this anthology. Second, what he means is that these characters are three-dimensional. They aren't just trotted out by DC for a cheap, cynical cashgrab anthology. They exist in the universe and in plenty of stories, and they are not just the stereotypes that we're all so used to seeing.

Psycamorean - Jun 22, 2021

Anyone who actually uses the term "wokeism" (misspelled by Rasiel to be different, I can only assume) is already very far gone. But no, progressivism and an awareness of social justice issues does not turn individuals into one-dimensional identifiers meant to facilitate divisiveness. Progressivism is all about inclusion, the exact opposite of what Rasiel is saying. But what do you expect from an honest to god idiot, who liked reviews openly condemning homosexuality as degeneracy?

Psycamorean - Jun 22, 2021

I don't have a screencap of that, because it was removed. Darn. But I did comment on their review about it!

Psycamorean - Jun 22, 2021

And lastly, Briton: "Blatant propaganda-mongering from DC. This sort of drivel will kill off the comics industry." I think I covered all of this above. So, let's do as we should always, and ignore the British. (That's a joke, I don't have anything against the British. The idea is that it's so absurd and that's what makes it funny.)

"You guys need to be releasing this book in the Middle East, thats where they actually have a problem with intolerance towards LGBT". Based on the comments of you and other people like you, it's quite obvious that intolerance against LGBT people doesn't just exist in the Middle East.

Other than Batwoman's story which was pretty good and Dreamer's which was just okay, all the others were atrociously bad with a special mention for Sina Grace who shouldn't EVER write a comic book. The art wasn't very good either.

I do have a question: why does the DC logo on this book have all those extra-colors? The LGBT flag is obvious, the trans flag I can get too (even though the "T" in LGBT already covers that), but what are the black and brown for? Wasn't this about sexuality, it's also about race too? If so, intersectionality is a dangerous type of thinking and DC does no one good with supporting this ideological stance.

P.S.: It's kind of ridiculous how in a week with good DC comics the best user reviews are for this book, I guess the content of the book doesn't matter anymore as long as we're woke enough. Too bad the stories are weak. Oh, and I can already see the usual actors throwing insults at me and spewing their hate. Couldn't care less. more

Don’t question it BIGOT!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Blackgirl - Jun 9, 2021

When do publishers and Hollywood understand that we want quality? I'm glad to be included, but not at the cost of rejecting a good project. It is more offensive to me to see a character they call a minority have a bad story and the way in which people accept this idiocy is more offensive. I'm sorry for my words, but consumers deserve better.

Merlyn - Jun 9, 2021

I totally agree, same thing with DC Asian celebration and from the previews, same thing with the Milestone line. They think they just give minorities "their" book and that's enough, quality be damned. I'm glad people like you don't fall for it. Sadly, there are enough who do.

Synthozoid - Jun 9, 2021

Dude, google the "extra colors." Or is your question really just a confirmation of your homophobia? You are so mysterious.

fearUhavemeisenough - Jun 10, 2021

its come from Finlandia's activist. That flag has more settings at the end it will be impossible to place it somewhere or maybe in a color combination palette used by art beginners.

fearUhavemeisenough - Jun 10, 2021

Excuse @Synthozoid me maybe you are heterophonic, it is not within the school culture to learn the flags of the latest trend that they take out on fb or any other site.

Synthozoid - Jun 11, 2021

Yes, I am 100% heterophonic.

Psycamorean - Jun 11, 2021

Why would you out yourself for being completely ignorant on these topics and then criticize them like you know them? I don't understand the logic of that. These stories could be amazing or they could be trash, I have a feeling the response wouldn't change. Sadly, I can't trust any good faith criticisms of this comic with all the blatant homophobia present here. If you don't want to be labeled as such, call out the homophobes instead of staying silent/defending them.

Merlyn - Jun 11, 2021

See, I unblocked you because I tried to give you a chance but you seem to be the same moron and liar as always. Block again.

Merlyn - Jun 11, 2021

And the stories are trash, so is the art, I gave better books worse ratings. Don't worry, I'll still block you for being a lying pos, just wanted to be sure people get that.

I'm sorry, who uses all those things to divide and turn people against each other? I think it may be the people like you who agree with statements like "Alentar a las personas a vivir un estilo de vida que les es perjudicial y llamarlo "amor" es la forma más cruel de odio." You try to play it off as the left being the truly bigoted ones, meanwhile you're liking reviews that say that? Try to stay mask on next time.

Monné - Jun 10, 2021

go read the bible, get out of comic books

Rasiel - Jun 10, 2021

@Psychomoron: classifying people based on what group they belong to rather than assessing them on their individual merits is bigotry. Why do we have to force people into these narrowly defined groups instead of celebrating them as individuals? Also I admit I don’t follow woke science as much as some people but I do have my mask off, as far as I can tell Covid doesn’t transmit through internet forums.

Rasiel - Jun 10, 2021

@Monne what part of the Bible do you recommend that I read?

Psycamorean - Jun 10, 2021

Classifying people based on groups is exactly what you're doing now.

fearUhavemeisenough - Jun 13, 2021

The situation reminds me of a movie The Animal by Rob Schneider, nobody touches the black man despite all the things he does. This is the new fashion. If the movie, novel or comic has a black or homosexual and is bad, few have the balls to say, no thanks, I do not buy your shit, because the talking heads united to the unified will begin to cry.

Psycamorean - Jun 13, 2021

Why would you ever mention a Rob Schneider movie? That's downright offensive. But as to your point, I don't think that's accurate at all. At least in the circles I navigate, if something is shit, it's shit. Regardless of how diverse the story is. If you think I'm full of shit, just go look at my reviews for several of these sorts of anthologies, and you'll see I'm not exactly bursting with praise for most of them.

Psycamorean - Jun 13, 2021

The problem is when you have people like Rasiel, or Merlyn, or ARTICULAT3, or Sup3rsa1yan1990, or Foxter, who insist on making their reviews all about the diversity in these stories. That calls into question whether they are reviewing these stories for their merit or whether they are letting their backwards social or political stances determine their opinions. If these people didn't constantly bring up the diversity in a negative context, they wouldn't be labeled bigoted.

Psycamorean - Jun 13, 2021

And if you take into account the other things they've said and liked elsewhere on the site, it quickly becomes apparent that this isn't just a case of bad wording, but rather just another indication of their reprehensible views.

Rasiel - Jun 20, 2021

Psychomoron summed up: “you disagree with me? That’s offensive! You’re a bigot!”

Rasiel - Jun 20, 2021

This kind of cheap virtue signaling is dehumanizing and offensive. Black people are often trapped in high crime areas with failing school systems. Asians are systematically discriminated against while applying to college. Transgender people suffer from high degrees of mental illness and suicide rates 18 times that of the normal population. And the solution is to come up with a comic book that “celebrates” these groups and pretends the real struggles individuals in these groups face on a day...

Rasiel - Jun 20, 2021

...to day basis are somehow solved because people like psychomoron can buy the comic and feel good about themselves? How does this help the person that’s actually struggling?

Merlyn - Jun 11, 2021

That's Tynion for you, man, he doesn't care about the story as long as he scores one for the twitter crowd. :))

HauntinGrounds - Nov 16, 2021

Well, if you weren't a total idiot, you'd know the train derailed because of a bomb explosion that destroyed the bridge the train was on. But I guess it's too much to ask homophobes to read properly.

Maud Benjamin - Mar 5, 2022

What bomb? It is not mentioned in this story. You’re just imagining things and using it as a weapon to attack people.

Hex - Apr 12, 2022

First, they weren't having sex in the book, they just had their shirts off. Second, the bomb is a part of Scott's history. It's literally his origin. There was a bomb used to sabotage the bridge by Albert Dekker. As a Green Lantern fan you would think that you'd know that. Alan has trauma. His love died in an accident that was NOT caused by their love or even remotely his fault. But clearly you are just homophobic and don't care.

Maud Benjamin - Aug 16, 2022

First, they were clearly having sex in the book. You must be blind if you didn't see it. Second, Alan's origin story was clearly changed in this story, otherwise he won't be gay. So why should I consider the unmentioned bomb should exist here? Third, oh you think I'm homophobic because I don't like a badly written story? Whatever, call the police to arrest me.

Hex - Aug 27, 2022

Just going to put this out there. It's kind of hard for two men to have sex with their pants still on. Which they had. They were just making out. So you're wrong there. Just brushing off the fact that him being gay has nothing to do with the bombing? Because you blamed their having sex, which didn't happen on the bomb that you neglected to remember about his origin. And finally. Yes you are a homophobe. You wouldn't even deny it.
