Review: Shout OUt Anthololgy
I haven’t read that many graphic novels, but this book is something that really piqued my interest when I first heard about it. The concept is so fantastic and the amount of thought that has gone into its design is absolutely phenomenal. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this one.
❀ Inspiring Concept
The inspiration for Shout Out was to create an anthology of stories about romance, adventure, and friendship that feature queer characters who are heroes. As well, the book is written by an incredible group of 37 queer writers and artists to tell the stories for a new generation. It is put together for “young queer readers to know that they can be heroes too, and that their stories deserve to be told.”
❀ Wonderful Illustrations
Shout Out anthology has so many stories that you can really connect with and are enjoyable to read. I especially enjoyed 15 Minutes and Shine So Bright. The artwork is fabulous and the writing is unique. Also, the humour and illustrations are wonderful and really had me laughing out loud! I highly recommend picking this book up.

Oh I love diverse anthologies like these. I usually had to chase them down from kickstarters in the past so it’s nice to see them getting more recognition and audience.
