The middle third is all self-contained short stories with a whole lot of artists. The quality of the artwork by these many hands varies wildly from page to page as can the writing. The final third goes back to an extended story but settles in with one good artist and increasingly polished scripts by writer Joe Glass. (  ) villemezbrown | Sep 17, 2021 | no reviews | add a review

"In The Pride, Fabman is sick of being seen as a joke. Tired of the LGBTQ+ community being seen as inferior to straight heroes, he thinks it's about damn time he did something about it. Bringing together some of the world's greatest LGBTQ+ superheroes, the Pride is born to protect the world and fight prejudice, misrepresentation, and injustice--not to mention a pesky supervillain or two. The Pride Adventures brings a whole host of extra self-contained stories and adventures starring the heroes of The Pride! See the team members face down crazed shooters, invasions, and even a sixty-foot-tall drag queen! Featuring a slew of incredible artistic talent, plus stories from writers Mike Garley, Sina Grace, and PJ Montgomery too! Follow the LGBTQ+ heroes into whole new stories and meet even more characters in the world of The Pride."--Page [4] of cover. No library descriptions found. |

Fabman, openly gay superhero, is tired of being made fun of because of his sexuality and is tired of the queer community as a whole being seen as less than just because they’re queer. He decides to form a team of fellow queer superheroes, who are out to help everyone and discriminate against no one, and prove to the world that queer people are just as valid as anyone else.
Portraying riffs on several other comics’ teams (DC’s Justice League in particular), The Pride takes many of your typical superhero tropes and turns them on their head, creating something new yet familiar, told through a queer lens. While sometimes the message can be a little heavy handed, Glass’ story handles many of the issues that the queer community struggles with every day: acceptance, both within our families and our own community itself; prejudice; body shaming; hate crimes; thoughts of self-harm; religious persecution; the list can go on and on. The team finds positive ways to overcome these obstacles and prove that being queer is not something bad and we can all be heroes in our own ways.
This omnibus edition collected the first two series of The Pride and the first series of The Pride Adventures, one-off stories set in The Pride universe. The frequent jump between artists almost every issue was a little jarring when reading this in a collected edition, but may not have been as noticeable when read as a monthly. I hope that someday we’ll get some more adventures from those queer superheroes. The Pride can be read via @comixology as separate series, or purchased as this print omnibus from @darkhorsecomics.
