There's a ton of SuperQueero-inclusive comics this week, including a brand new comic about Victorian 'queeros, plus a holiday special that's piqued my interest.
SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!
A woman scorned by her husband and society accepts a dark gift from her lady lover and uses it to exact her bloody, erotic revenge. The premise of this new title hits all the benchmarks for a good horror comic: It's simple, subversive, gratuitous, and awesome! Whether the book lives up to its solicits, however, is yours to discern.
Constantine The Hellblazer #7
As I learned on the podcast
Journey Into Misery, Constantine was first introduced in the pages of
Swamp Thing in the 1980s. Today Constantine is well into his third continuing series and Swamp Thing is swinging by for a guest appearance! The only question remaining is which of their classic character dynamics they will be repeating. Will they help each other discover more about their powers? Will they manipulate each other into losing touch with their remaining humanity? Who knows! Maybe they'll do that thing where they possess each other's bodies to conceive an anti-christ! #crazykids
Ultimates #2
How do you solve a problem like Maria Galactus? Ms. America Chavez and the Ultimates are here to find out! And by the end, like almost all his heralds before him, the giant purple devourer of worlds is going to be Marvel's newest superhero!
Catwoman #47
What is Catwoman without gang warfare and street politics? Selina has left behind her family business and is getting back to the trade that made her the leading lady she is today: (cat) burglary.
Rachel Rising #38
It's a team-up to take down Malus! Can Rachel and crew track down the demon that's making their lives a living hell, all puns intended?
Earth 2 Society #7
The Green Lantern takes on Doctor Impossible. But can a hero whose power is constrained by his creativity triumph over a villain whose abilities are limited to the unimaginable?
Deadpool #3 and Uncanny Avengers #3
Deadpool brings in a heap of obscure guests in his solo title while on his team title he welcomes his former co-star, Cable!
Hercules #2
Herc continues his quest to pound bad beasties while looking as much like my Instagram feed as possible.
