The short stories up front provide a quick and enjoyable run-through of Marvel's LGBTQIA+ characters, but mostly left me wanting more and longer stories instead of some of the questionable reprints that fill out the book. The Northstar coming out story from Alpha Flight #106 is a milestone, sure, but boy is it dreadfully drawn and written. The other reprints are better, but I had read most of them before, and they are from the middle or start of longer stories so they don't exactly satisfy on their own. Throw in the essays and there are enough good things to rate a thumbs up.
