One of my favorite graohic novels is kiss number 8. It follows a catholic high-school girl who has 7 different kisses with various boys and then kisses a girl for the first time and how that changed everything she thought she knew about herself. It deals with a lot of religious trauma and the reality of friendships that doesn't get shown very often. I highly recommend

I loved how "On a Sunbeam" had absolutely no men. I think the cat was male, or it had a name usually used be men, but every other character was a woman or nonbinary. And I had noticed it, and went back to check, but it wasn't in your face or anything. Just, the story didn't need any men so they weren't there. It was so good!

very late and briefly scouring the comments didn't show it off immediately, so I cannot recommend Monstress by Marjorie Liu with art by Sana Takeda enough. For as much as I passionately love this series, I actually can't put just how much into words, so to ensure I don't mess things up I will paste some descriptions I find elsewhere instead! However elevator pitch: what if grand fantasy story but I can only think of like genuinely 5 male characters, with the large majority of those few being dudes in the background. Also WLW. It's great. *Monstress is an ongoing epic fantasy comics series written by Marjorie Liu and drawn by Sana Takeda, published since November 2015 by the American publisher Image Comics. The comic was described as "ambitious as George R. R. Martin or J. R. R. Tolkien" for its high fantasy concepts and heavy world-building. The series has earned many awards, including five Eisner Awards, four Hugo Awards, and the Harvey Awards Book of the Year in 2018* *Steampunk meets Kaiju in this original fantasy epic for mature readers, as young Maika risks everything to control her psychic link with a monster of tremendous power, placing her in the center of a devastating war between human and otherworldly forces.* *"Beautiful art, a unique world with gods, humans, and something in between, fearsome magic, political intrigue to rival any epic fantasy, a plethora of formidable female characters... oh.. and magical talking cats... what more could one possibly ask for?* - *This series is setting up to be an epic masterpiece. There is a lot going on in this first volume, so I can't wait to re-read it and discover even more.* - *2021: this still remains amazing on reread and I’m glad to be back in this world"*

A queer recommendation for you: Our Dreams at Dusk (original title: Shimanami Tasogare) by Yuhki Kamatani (please check trigger warnings!!!). I know this is a manga and not a graphic novel, BUT it was translated into English officially and it follows several different characters who learn to find peace with themselves in a judging environment. There is some romance, but it's not the key focus of the story, instead they mostly explore the struggles of being openly queer in a small town, outing, and making mistakes even if your intentions were positive. There are both younger and older characters, and I won't spoil much but most of the alphabet soup is represented!

I have so many graphic novel reccomedations! My biggest recommendation is Check, Please by Ngozi Ukazu which definitely as some heartstopper vibes! It also was originally a web comic and its about a former figure skater, southern gay baker vlogger boy going to a new Eegland college joining the hockey team for a scholarship. It's has a bit of romance but it is mostly about the friendships that form on the team and the hockey community in general! Its so good and heartwarming and funny but also touches on some deeper topics as well (and you don't need to know anything or like hockey to enjoy it). The two books are probably is my favorite graphic novel series! I also recommend The Girl from the Sea by Molly Ostertag (ND Stevenson's wife) for a heartwarming, magical, sapphic, middle grade graphic novel. If you're looking for a bit more of a mystery graphic novel The Montague Twins is really good and the comic Fangs is the perfect thing to read in October (a love story between a vampire and a werewolf)!

If anyone is looking for suggestions: The LOW series is amazing it’s about a mother who never gives up hope and it’s a time where the sun is so toxic and hot that everyone lives underwater!!! Little Bird is also a great read! follows a young resistance fighter who battles against an oppressive American Empire and searches for her own identity in a world on fire. The sacrifice of darkness is a great story it’s about what would happen if we lived without the sun but also what it’s like to be the son of the man who stole the sun. All of these are so colorful and beautiful and well thought out ✨

In my top tier: the encyclopedia of early earth, everyone’s a aliebn when ur an aliebn too, your illustrated guide to becoming one with the universe, the tea dragon society, lore olympus, aquacorn cove, saga Would love you to check these out and think you’d absolutely love them!! But I think you’d also love: girl from the sea, the one hundred nights of hero, and taproot!

Fun Home by Alison Bechdel is a good queer memoir that I think that you'd enjoy!

Thanks for this video, looking forward to reading literally all of those! I can recommend “Kobane calling” by “Zerocalcare” (originally written in Italian). It’s both funny, deep and educational!

The first graphic novels I ever read were The Plain Janes & Janes in Love by Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rug, and they’re still two of my favourites 10+ years later. After those two, I also really love The Wicked + The Divine by by Kieron Gillen as a series.

Not sure if you've read it yet but Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me is one of my absolute faves and is premier sad gay teen representation! Also Juliet Takes a Breath has a stunning graphic novel adaptation, and Almost American Girl is a great one that talks a lot about immigration and family dynamics
