I really enjoyed this comic although there were lots of basic grammar mistakes (you're instead of your, etc.) which were very distracting. If it had been written better, I would have given four stars instead of three because I really liked the artwork and the stories but the grammar was too distracting for me. My favourite character is Wolf. I like that the comics cover a lot of different topics like HIV, and family.
I couldn’t stop reading Glass’s work after discovering it. He taps into so many prevalent issues within the LGBTQ+ community and although there are some flaws here and there, it’s truly the superhero representation that we don’t see onscreen or elsewhere very much that I, as a young gay fan, crave. I hope Glass continues his beautiful work and I hope to one day join him in representing the vast spectrum of our community in media.
Está bueno, pero no termina de cuajar. Rating: 3.5 starsTal vez sea que cada entrega tiene ilustradores diferentes o que algunos personajes están demasiado cerca a superhéroes famosos y una no puede evitar levantar la ceja.Además la exploración de los temas queer es demasiado evidente, le hace falta integrarlo mejor y que sea una historia más orgánica. Pero, aquí puede que yo sea el problema al ser una cishet, y la necesidad de representarlo de manera tan directa sea necesaria y yo simplemente n...

Queer og Superheroes!Det bliver bare ikke bedre og vilde !
True rating; 3.25 starsIn its favour I really like pretty much all the illustrators who have contributed to this volume, and I think the sentiment behind creating The Pride had good intentions to provide better representation for the LGBTQIA+ community.Admittedly I am cishet, so feel free to take my opinion with a pinch of salt, but to me the characters seem cliched and the situations engineered to have a dialogue on LGBTQIA+ issues.
While the art varies from story to story, the overall feel is enjoyable. I love that the team is so inclusive, and the original storyline was great. I would love to read more about this team!
A cute book, a bit "Queer Activism 101" at times but overall pretty fun. Not a fan of the highly inconsistent art styles, but, well, kickstarter comic with many different artists; it's bound to happen.
I really want more queer superhero comics so happy to support this. But it didn’t blow me away. The writing and characters were pretty stereotypical or obvious (every scenario had to involve a bashing?) and the women characters felt like afterthoughts. The art was a bit distracting when the art style switched, sometimes jarringly, between issues. I still like it for the intent and creating a very readable, light LGBT story but just a mild recommendation for me.
Encore un comics issu d’un Kickstarter (oui je rattrape mon retard) ! J’étais bien entendue intéressée par l’idée de supers-héros LGBTQ*, mais en plus j’avais vu que Maxime Garbarini faisait parti des artistes qui avaient travaillé sur la série, et c’est toujours cool de soutenir nos artistes préférés !Tandis que certains supers-héros gays ou lesbiennes continuent d’être opprimés, soit par les médias, soit par les commentaires désobligeants des personnes qu’ils croisent, l’un d’eux, FabMan, déci...

I really hate when I can't leave a positive review on an LGBT read but this one majorly underdelivered.For an LGBT group of heroes called The Pride you'd expect some more diversity and empowerment. All this gave me was 6 white men (one straight), one black drag queen, and two women (one black, one white). As for empowerment? The book is filled with slurs and how hard it is to be gay and shows so much gay hate crime with promises of "it gets better" but that's never shown.The "big bad" of the fir...
A great collection.
Honestly I really, really, really wanted to like this more but I found the switches between art styles confusing (especially since the cast has literally three buff white dudes who ended up looking kind of interchangeable). And really that's my major complaint-there were three cis white gay dudes in the team. Meanwhile their women had to do like, triple duty to keep some level of diversity? Kind of whack. Still it had some of the feel good moments you'd want from a queer superhero comic.
Being queer means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and while no comic can cover every angle, this one takes as many as it can, and tells it in the queer superhero story we need. There *are* some rep issues that the writer has already addressed, but other than those nagging me, I really, really enjoyed this.
I have various thoughts about this book. It wasn't bad and I will be reading the following volumes, but I did not like that the art style changed throughout the book. It was cool to see how different artists draw the same characters in different ways, but I generally found that to be more distracting than interesting as I needed to reorient myself to what I was reading with each issue. I like my LGBTQ superheroes tho.
I backed the Kickstarter for this book and somehow didn't get around to fully reading it until now, but gosh it sure is a lot of fun! I'm proud to see my name in the back of the book!Yes, The Pride deals with a lot of important social issues that I care strongly about, but it's also a really good comic that has fun, friendship, romance, and action. The heroes are familiar callbacks to other superheroes in the mainstream, but they're different enough that you can love them for who they are.Lookin...
(I got very confused trying to figure out how to mark this book as read, because Comixology originals mean that sometimes what is in which collected edition for GR purposes gets confusing).I really liked this at the start, it made me actually laugh out loud a couple times, but ultimatley it fell a little flat. It wasn't bad, just... a bit generic? I feel like I'm not sure how seriously The Pride wanted me to take it, and the characters weren't fleshed out enough for some plot points to be as emo...

While I enjoyed it, something about this just didn't click for me. The variant art was a little disorienting, and some of these characters are complete ripoffs of pop culture superheroes. I did like the exploration of queer issues, but sometimes it became Too Much, and the story was lost to the messages that the anthology was trying to give. (If they'd been done in a more organic way, I don't think I would've minded). It has good in it, though.
