Praise for previous TO Comix Press titles

• " For teens aching for explicit representation in big mainstream science fiction, fantasy, and superhero stories, these references are a gift of inclusion. Shout Out is, in short, an essential collection for LGBTQ2IA+ teens, comics lovers, and keen readers of speculative YA fiction."
  - Quill & Quire
• "True to its concept, Wayward Sisters celebrates diversity with tremendous success, both in content and tone. ... While the stories work as straightforward monster tales, they also function on another level, echoing feelings of isolation and nonconformity among their unconventional protagonists."
  - Rue Morgue
• "Equal parts whimsical, wistful, and weird, Wayward Sisters is the anthology by ladies for ladies that I’ve been waiting for. Toronto Comics has assembled one of the best femme teams in the biz for this one, and you can’t miss it."
  - Sam Maggs (The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy, Wonder Women)
• "These are the sisters you need beside you - bold, unique, and unapologetic. The talent in Wayward Sisters is outstanding, there is a story in here for everyone, and the anthology will give you a new appreciation for the genre."
  - Megan Lavey-Heaton (Namesake, Valor)
