✰✰✰In this graphic novel we follow Rigo, a latinx girl in a polyamory relationship living in a spaceship, that wants to move with one her partners but she's worried it's going to affect to the rest of her relationships. I liked this volume, it was a easy and fun read that I would recommend between more complex books (but if you don't like explicit sex scenes stay away from it), and it has body a sex positivity, a diverse cast, and the art was fine (nothing mindblowing but not hard to appreciate
This is really outside the box when breaking cultural norms, which I appreciated. Loved the body positive aspect. Felt a little confused by parts. It gave me lots to ponder. Oh and Spanglish as an official language was pretty awesome.
Rigs is a child of the first generation of scientists who fled Earth after its collapse. As the space station prepares to celebrate the 20th anniversary of leaving Earth, Rigs talks over a more personal problem: possibly sharing living quarters with Franklin without becoming exclusive.I loved the body positivity, latinx rep, PC rep, sex positivity and the emphasis on open communication and consenting relationships. Bonus for polyamorous relationship rep too!I didn't like that Rigs was pretty one...
This was such an easy and fun read! We follow Rigo and her adventures with sex, love and relationships. This does take place in space so I hope the future volumes have more of a sci-fi feel to them as opposed to this volume.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.Oh Good Grief. I want to go back to the past and tell myself NOT TO FREAKING get this book. If I had known, if only I had known. URghhhh.So I liked the idea of the book, the cover looked cute, and oh, yes, I didn't see the Erotica genre, otherwise I would most definitely skipped this one. Though OK, maybe I would have tried it, sure, I confess. But if I had known it was sex in this way? No fucking thank you.What my problem was w...
As much as I'd like to see more polyamorous representation in books and media, this isn't the way to do it. There is nothing outwardly problematic about this. It's just dull.The main character has no qualities, skills, or interests other than the boy she loves for reasons not made clear. She is worried he will not want to be her new roommate, and her friends are worried she won't want to have sex with all of them if she falls in love with him only. There is some labored "how can our parents be m...
A really interesting look at a future human society of a type that isn't often seen in sci fi. I found this very refreshing and thought-provoking, though I'm not entirely sure I agree with the points it raises.
3.5 Stars This is a cute graphic novel which offers a positive future where polyamory relationships are accepted and, even, celebrated. Admittedly, I didn't completely connect to part of the narrative, but I still appreciated the diverse representation existed for other readers. I felt the plot itself was quite hollow and would have liked to see more space and technology included in this futuristic tale. I loved the inclusion of gender fluid characters and body positive acceptance, but I unfortu...
rep: polyamorous main characters, plus-sized woc mc, moc mc, non-binary side characteri only picked this up because i love reading about polyamorous relationships, but this wasn't quite what i was expecting. instead of being the "3 people in a relationship" triad i'm used to, it was about people being in open relationships and sleeping with whomever they want to. that's not a complaint, nor am i slut-shaming, i'm just stating facts. i honestly wasn't expecting this to be so nsfw and actually sho...
I really enjoyed this, and it’s has spurred me on to try other graphic novels. It was hot and steamy and very body positive. It also explores the idea of open vs. closed relationships, which I thought was interesting. I also like that birth control was a part of the discussion, excuse you can’t have an open “society” without taking the necessary precautions. From Carrie “committed yet curious”! Yep that sums it up.
Explicitly sexy graphic novel set in space featuring polyamory. ME GUSTA. Read this at the airport and had to cleverly hide the pages from the people sitting around me lmao
A queer polyamory space based graphic novel with sex positivity, a focus on open communication, and being true to yourself for the win! I got this arc at BookCon and really enjoyed it. I hope that it’s well received and there are more in this series. I really enjoyed the art style, the Spanglish (the language of the future) used, the diversity, the plus girl rep, and overall tone of this graphic novel. Definitely a winner!
A sexually explicit version of "The 100" before they left the spaceship for Earth. Focuses on a future where isolated 20-year-olds born in space have a different outlook on sex where it's open and meaningless between multiple partners. It looks like the author writes solely on this topic, so this may be hiding an agenda.Received an advance copy from Oni Press and Netgalley. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.
Today's graphic Novels are not your parent's comic book, like the ones I collected in the 60s and 70s.To be truthful, I am not sure what to think about Open Earth. Kind of 'Brave New Worldish', where one is hooking up with whom they want, marriage is discourage. At least there are babies and the need for birth control. Good story line..The graphics were nice, not too cluttered up with word balloons, flowing nicely as the story unfolds. I love the idea of the muff diving in the anti-gravity room,...
How do you express love, like real I wanna be with you forever love, when you live in a world unhampered by hangups about gender or sex or monogamy or body image issues? When sex is just something that feels amazing that you do with your friends and the idea of being with just one person is something antiquated that "old" people do how do you express that unique, singular feeling of caring more for someone?This amazing, sexy, joyful graphic novel written by Sarah Mirk and illustrated by Eve Cabr...
I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalleyThe background info for this story is basically that a group of scientists left earth to live in space because of vague climate change stuff and this follows their children who, as the first generation born in space, have much more open ideas of sex and relationships. It actually makes sense in a way that they would feel this way based on their new living situation, but I wish the story had gone a bit more in detail with that aspect of the plot i...
Well, this was about the most sex positive issue of Archie comics ever. It's the one where Betty is okay that Archie has sex with Veronica, Veronica is okay that Betty has sex with Archie, and Archie is okay that Betty and Veronica have sex. And boy do they have a lot of sex.On the space station California, polyamory is the new norm for the first generation of people to be raised on board. Rigo worries that she is in danger of reverting to her parents' icky monogamy because she wants to partner
I thought the art work and colouring were lovely and I really enjoyed the idea of a group of scientists who are making a new life for themselves in space. Twenty years ago a group of scientists left Earth, never to return. They no longer know what has happened on Earth but they have established a new community in space and they no longer wish to be bound by traditional societal expectations or customs. The first generation of people who were born on the spaceship are now young adults and they do...
This was an interesting read. Young adults, trying to find their place in society. A story of all ages, all generations...
oh I read this awhile ago and forgot to review it on GoodReads! Anyway it's super fun and I'd recommend if you're looking for some sexy sci-fi adventures. I especially like that it engages with climate change (and how we're p fucked...figuratively but also literally, bc this is sexy!) but is ultimately hopeful and inclusive.
