The stories of this volume were better paced!

THIS is the gloriousness that comes from letting marginalised people tell their own stories. Can't wait to see what comes next (pun not intended) from this team!

I've never read erotic comics before this anthology and I thought it was fantastic, a real diversity of different genders, including being trans-inclusive, and different sexualities represented, and also different sexual interests, likes or dislikes represented in the characters, different bodies etc.
The characters the stories revolve around stem from three queer male bear type characters having fun together, to like androgynous looking characters, disabled and people of colour characters, the anthology is advertised as inclusive stories and they certainly are.
The stories are themed around 'reunion' and it works really well, and the different artists' response to the themes are all very original, from the character of a painting coming alive for the painter, to a pirate rescuing her love attraction from another ship, to vampires, each felt exciting and original and the art styles all very different but equally vibrant - the vibrancy of the colours across the entire collection really caught me.
Couldn't rave more about the anthology, will definitely read them again soon, thought they were beautifully artistic and can't believe also that nobody else reviewing has mentioned what an original idea it is to celebrate Europe in this way.

Aunque tenía cierta reticencia en un principio, me complace haber decidido apoyar la realización de esta antología vía Kickstarter.
Entre las antologías publicadas el año anterior que tuve la oportunidad de leer, esta es la que ha mostrado mayor coherencia tanto en su tema, como en el material presentado. El uso de una paleta de colores unificadora (inspirada en la Unión Europea) a lo largo de gran parte de los trabajos, le otorga a la lectura una fluidez que muchas veces carecen otras antologías. Además, hablando en lo personal, la selección de artistas e historias es la que más conforme me ha dejado. Es usual en esta clase de antologías encontrarse con trabajos de muy alta calidad y luego otros que, aunque se valora el esfuerzo, a veces rompen un poco con la magia presentada. En esta oportunidad, no ocurre eso. Aunque hay historias más fuertes narrativa y gráficamente que otras (cosa que queda a un criterio netamente subjetivo), no hay ninguna que pudiera decir que no pertenece en el compilado o que me habría gustado que dejaran fuera.
He disfrutado mucho la lectura de estos trabajos. Lo recomiendo a todo quien no tenga problema de leer historias de personajes diversos, sexualidades diversas, que no tienen miedo de mostrar diferentes formas en que pueden relacionarse los seres humanos.

A delightful set of erotic comics set in Europe and by European comic creators. Some are contemporary, some are historical, some are fantasy, and most are queer. The art uses blues and yellow coloring to unify the book contributions from different creators.
My favorites:
“Via Romana” by Rowan Oats - Two older women reunite. This was a great little second chance romance snippet. One of the women had transitioned since their youthful relationship, and this story was so sweet about all the body changes both characters had gone through.
“Trans Atlantic Ride” by Vasarru - Many of these stories involve travel and meeting up with lover(s), and this one captured it the best. These guys are so ready and eager for each other. The art was some of my favorite with using the limited color palette in a bolder and stand-out manner.
“Blue Lounge” by Tab Kimpton - I very much loved what this one said about community care, especially as we age. The layouts were inventive and fantastic as it followed the circus contortionist storyline.

I normally don’t read nsfw stuff, but I’d been hoping to read it for Alex Assan and Lin Darrow’s “In Search of Absent Pigments”, since they create one of my favourite webcomics! This was a really sweet anthology with a collection of beautiful artstyles and refreshingly diverse voices, and it’s given me a bunch of recommendations for new artists to follow! Put me in a huge mood to read some indie comics when I was finished with this.
“Absent Pigments” and “Stitched Up” were my personal favourites for mood/worldbuilding/story!

"Thirteen stories from many cultured and countries, covering a multitude of times, places, peoples and sexualities..."
Couldn't have said it better myself. It is truly inclusive and a wonder to read.
I have been following Tab for year and delighted is an understatement for when I found out they were releasing a comic.
Such a variety of artists but all truly brilliant.

A stunning depiction of all queerness; trans women, non-binary humans, lesbians, gay men, trans men, etc. The representation is mind blowing and the art is top notch. I loved the different storytelling and how each moment was such a core private glimpse into queer love, lust and romance.
It was tender, bright and depicted a world that sorely needs to be seen and celebrated.

So happy I backed this kickstarter, these comics were super duper awesome, and pervy, but mostly I am hear not just for queer representation but for People of Colour and People with Disabilities as well. Holy crap, so much representation <3

Some of the stories were perfectly wrapped up with a bow at the end others left me wanting to read more stories with the same characters and I feel they would have needed more pages to be all the rounded they could be but nonetheless I enjoyed all of them.

Good collection of diverse stories. I was very entertained, despite the fact that not all the comics were, strictly speaking, queer. (one was straight but kinky, the other was just plain straight, though certainly the topic of it is relatable to queer folk...)

Solid anthology and I liked all of the artwork. Faves:
Ani K’s Summer Seclusion
Tab Kimpton’s Blue Lounge

A good collection of sexy comics which are a bit different to the norm.

My favorite of the anthologies so far. So good!!

Some excellent queer erotica comics. Very diverse and inclusive. Enjoyed almost all of the art.

Very hot very enjoyable stories already looking into buying Ambrosia the next book along

What a great mix of art and erotic storytelling. I truly enjoyed how different each story was and yet how titillating. There's a lot of diversity here, very feel-good but not patronizing.

An excellently well-crafted anthology. I was happy to see that each of the shorts was an actual story with a narrative, dealing with a particular issue. Some of them were incredibly moving, particularly one about a man and his painting (I cried at that one).
The artwork is great: the colour palette is mainly blue and yellow (emphasising the European theme), and that really helps to tie the disparate art styles and time periods together to create one cohesive anthology. Highly recommend picking this one up if you get the chance.

I'm always curious about erotic comics anthology, even if I don't usually give great ratings to them. Some of the stories are quite good but the rest... not so much.
The Layover by Shazleen Khan: ★★★
I actually backed Khan's Buuza! but I haven't gotten around to read it. This was a kind of introduction to her art. Extremely short but nice.
Under His Apron by Niki Smith: ★★
I liked the art and the Gothic font but I'm not a big fan of ropes. Sorry!
Summer Seclusion by Anni K: ★★★
One of the best stories of the anthology. I loved the colors.
When in Rome by Charu & Emil: ★★★
When I browsed the book at first, I thought it was one of Giulio Macaione's works. I swear, Giulio and the Charu&Emil team have the same way of drawing. Nice story, though.
Via Romana by Rica March: ★★
An Ok story. A lot of blue.
In Search of Absent Pigments by Alex Assan & Lin Darrow: ★
The worst story in the collection. Probably because I didn't understand the meaning. In addition, I'm not a fan of silent stories.
Trans Atlantic by Vasarru: ★★★
Another good one, with three bear-like men having fun.
One for Sorrow, Two for Joy by Dominique Duong: ★★★
As I wrote before, I'm not usually a fan of silent story but this is good. It kind of reminds me of the Japanese Tanabata. A prince and a princess are allowed to meet only once a year.
The Blue Lounge by Tab Kimpton: ★★
A lot of blue again. A contorsionist and a burlesque lady get together.
Need by Zachary Kjoge: ★★
Way too dark in colors and I didn't like the art.
An Unusual Exchange by Hari Conner: ★★★
I love the pirate-y setting and the story was OK.
Stitched Up by Jade Sarson: ★
Didn't get the meaning. Didn't like the story.
Creamy Conversation by Ariel Vittori: ★★
Nice and round art.
So, this means an average of 2,30... Which I decided to round up.
