Emily Price, SOLRAD:
“H.A.’s comic is not concerned with representation in a broad sense. But although it doesn’t share a project with trans medieval studies, it does share a result: trans lives being envisioned and, therefore, “lived”. The comic also feels like a response, on some level, to the neverending demand that trans history prove itself to a hostile audience. If a trans person’s existence in the medieval period is seen as just as impossible as a smartphone, then why not write a story where there are both? Being playful with the use of medieval aesthetics stretches the place those aesthetics can hold in our imagination, and that’s a good thing. So embrace the anachronism: like the spice on a cool ranch Dorito, it only makes the overall package tastier.”
