The 1-star reviews make me wonder if those guys also give 1 star to books about asian, black or women superheroes without reading them. Or are they just afraid of gay heroes?
Decided to give this a 10 before I start reading it because if the Outrage Brigade is going to give it a 1 sight unseen just because it's got boys kissing boys, why should I take my rating any more seriously? After all, I like to see boys kissing boys just as much as they do not.
Rating the individual stories as I read along:
Hello Spaceboy: 8/10
The Rivers & The Lakes That You're Used To: 6.5/10
Marasmius: 10/10
Steeling Time: 8.5/10
Bros Down in A-Town: 6/10
Lessons in Astral Projection: 8/10
Phantom Rodeo: 7.5/10
Spaces: 10/10
