SuperQueeros! for July 30th, 2014


Ah, the hallowed fifth Wednesday, haven of dark horses and missed deadlines. Though the pickings are Slim, they're X-actly the sort of comics we love: made by and about... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Uncanny X-Men #24
Xavier's will is read by guest star She-Hulk! Who wants to bet that Cyclops inherited the X-Mansion?

X-Men #17
Storm's daughter continues her time traveling trek to save Jubilee's son!

Cyclops #3
Before he heads off to draw Thor, Russell Dauterman gives us a few more issues of young Cyc in space!

SuperQueeros! for July 23rd, 2014

Kevin Keller, BtVS, Young Avengers, Saga, and more! This week it's all old classics for SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Life With Archie #37
One year after the momentous events of issue #36 - you know, when Archie got shot and died? - we meet back up with the gang to see just what life is like without Archie. As my boyfriend said, decrying angst-loving fans like me, when he found out that Archie had died, "Y'all have ruint comics!"

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 10 #5
The Scoobies continue their fight against Dracula! but now that he's cottoned on to the new world order and upgraded his supernatural prowess, will our kids be able to box the badder boogieman?

Original Sins #4
So now our heroes are doing bad things with a bad guy for an ostensibly good end. In a series about exposing secrets, this can't end well, can it?

Batman Eternal #16
I finally found where all the Batman 'queeros went! It's in this title! I don't know if any are slated for an appearance this issue, but Harper will be in this issue, so it's possible her brother will show.

Saga #21
Time to clean up a murder!

Queer-Adjacent
Afterlife with Archie, a normally very queer-inclusive title, will be focusing on Sabrina's experiences in the Netherworld this month. Meanwhile, at the Big Two, Wonder Woman is kicking off the end of her mythology-changing storyline while Storm is just getting started on hers!

SuperQueeros! for July 16, 2014

Rejoice! After last month's outing of everyone's favorite Renegade and this week's re-launch of an old chestnut, it is a veritable renaissance for the... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Harbinger #25
Though a woman was refrigerated to do it, Kris is now the first SuperQueero from Valiant! This double-sized issue is set to focus more on tying up Toyo Harada, but after he's gone the Harbingers will be left in uncharted, Sapphic waters!

Teen Titans #1
YES! Bunker is back! He, Wonder Girl, Raven, Beast Boy, and Red Robin are superheroic counselors to tomorrow's metahumans in this iteration of one of DC's most excellent teams. It sounds like we'll be getting freak-of-the-week, teeenager style. Like Earth 2 plus Avengers Academy/Arena/Undercover.

Life with Archie #36
But, as with all things, this week can't be all reboots and fresh starts. The awesome Life with Archie is closing it's metaphorical doors with, what else, The Death of Archie. Tune in for what may be Clay Walker's last appearance!

Batwoman #33
Batwoman's tumble with Nocturna sends her to the lair of the Night-Thief!

Rat Queens #7
It's attack of the Elder Gods in Rat Queens this week! Can the Queens beat back this eldritch horde?

X-Men #16
Psylocke, Jubes, and the rest of Storm's team take on the Future!

Honorable Mentions
The fabulous She-Hulk (#6) continues to smash her way through The Blue File, outfitted in the best Kevin Wada covers to ever hit the stands. Meanwhile, over in the X-verse, we have the X-Men's 100th Anniversary Special (who were created 51 years ago...), as well as "The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier" in Uncanny X-Men #23. I don't think there's much of a chance that we will get to see Morph, but you never know! Lastly, the latest issue of Wicked & Divine is out, which gets included because, with gods inhabiting mortal bodies, there has to be someone queering it up!
