Monsters in Love Pride Special

from GateCrashers · host GateCrashers

When I hear Monsters and love in the same sentence, I am in there like swimwear. I love monsters. But I love that monsters are such a powerful storytelling tool to discuss the other, identity, and queerness. In the Tiny Onion and Dark Horse Pride anthology Monsters in Love, we see a cavalcade of some of the best creators in comics telling stories of love, loss, and so much more using every type of monster imaginable. This year, we were lucky enough to get together with 11 of the creatives who worked on the book to talk about it. We all talked about sandwiches first before diving into conversations about queerness, storytelling, bears, and so much more. We speak with: Jadzia Axelrod Vita Ayala Zoe Tunnell Aditya Bidikar Bradley Clayton Sina Grace Jacoby Salcedo Lee Knox Ostertag Ed Luce Josh Trujillo Vash Taylor About Monsters in Love We need love and monsters now more than ever!!!
