Book 10 of 2025: Indiginerds edited by Alina Pete: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A short but very solid anthology of comics dealing with the intersection of modern indigenous life and nerd interests. Several good stories in here; my personal favorite is Alina Pete’s “Dorvan V”, addressing Star Trek TNG’s colonialist underpinnings and how one fan’s relationship with it changes over their life.

📚 The Woman in the Woods and Other North American Stories edited by Kel McDonald, Kate Ashwin, and Alina Pete

53/2022 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of a series of six (eventually; five are published, the sixth is in production) anthologies of short comics based on indigenous cultures; this one is stories from North America. I enjoyed all the stories, with a good range of humor, heartfeltness, and darkness.
