This read was a little off track, but I've very recently discovered an almost obsessive need for M/M webcomics (thanks to Mars's ongoing 'Long Exposure') and while I'm waiting for new content, I wanted to find another good one! I stumbled across 'Steve and Mark', the first in a four part series dedicated to LGBTQ+ relationships and plan to take these stories more slowly but enjoy them all the same.

Steve and Mark's story is ABSOLUTELY adorable. Unrequited, angsty, miscommunicated love from both parties leads to utter confusion for both characters and I waited with baited breath from beginning to end for it all to be alright. While Steve and Mark each have a chapter of their own and are the main focus, we are introduced to other characters who will be POV characters in later 'books' of this series and I thought that was a good way of handling this type of series.

I think my least favourite thing about this story was actually the art. It wasn't bad as such, but it felt a little rushed in places and did not have the attention to detail that I usually enjoy in graphic novels. That being said, I was taken in by the story itself and so didn't mind so much. I won't be thinking about this with a burning need for more, but I'd like to read the other three in this four parter.
