This volume of Teen Titans has always teased its issues with the idea that the team is about to break-up. At this point, I highly doubt the will, but...

Chew #55

A(nother) character dies! After this issue, there is just ONE STORY ARC LEFT for Chew!

Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat #3

Patsy's time in hell will do her well as she takes on... bedbugs!

SuperQueeros! for February 10, 2016

Happy Valentine's Day, dear readers! To celebrate the season of love, commercialism, and discount candy, publishers are giving us a bouquet of a dozen queer-inclusive comics. But which ones will you choo-choo-choose? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Jem & the Holograms: Valentine's Day Special #1Synergy's song has changed and it's dialing down the demeanors of the Misfits and the Holograms from angry to amiable. But if these two bands don't hate each other, how will they feel about each other?

Constantine The Hellblazer #9

You know that dream where you walk into an auction, all ready to bid on the souls of the damned, but you're not wearing any glamour magic? Embarrassing! John knows that feeling all too well. He journeyed the top floor of Hell on earth to save his hunky trick, but the demons there saw right through his flimsy disguise! How is our favorite anti-hero going to double-cross his way out of this one?

Harley's Habitat: In Harley's Little Black Book #2, Harley gets a power ring! The Queen of Quinn manages to snag a combo black-and-red power ring this issue.

So Harley has to mope back to her team book, New Suicide Squad #7, and work on breaking out of Task Force X. 

Legend of Wonder Woman #2

Diana's training on Themyscira continues as revolt against her mother foments!

The team wraps up the Boston Plant Man Massacre and changes the roster!

SuperQueeros! for December 16th, 2015

Ah, the holidays: a time of joy and reflection. For example, this week I am joyfully reflecting on how far my favorite comic books have come. Lumberjanes are finally tackling my favorite monster, the Spoiler returns to Batgirl, and Jem scored her band a holiday special! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Lumberjanes #21

You guys, it took two year, but we finally made it to the promised land! It's time for the Lumberjanes to have... werewolf adventures!!!

Jem and the Holograms Holiday Special #1

When the 'grams and the Misfits draw each other in a Secret Santa, will they buy into the spirit of the season or redefine the phrase "war on Christmas"?

It only took four years, but Stephanie Brown is back in Batgirl! Though Steph's not donning the cowl, this Babs and Brown team-up is sure to rock your socks off!

Cake's adversary is Gumball, and he's starting the game with a penultimate move! Without room to maneuver, can Cake win the Card Wars?

SuperQueeros! for June 3rd, 2015

The best part of reality-warping crossovers is the new starts for all our favorite 'queeros. This week is about resurrections, and frankly I'm freaking because so many are... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Midnighter #1

MIDNIGHTER IS BACK! And he's basically getting his Wolverine Origins treatment as he fights a bunch of escapees from the DCU version of Weapon X's Paradise in order to retreive the files of his pre-superqueero days. Come for the bloodshed, stay for finding out just who is Lucas Trent??? (And did he ever date Kevin Keller?)

Wolverines #20

The last issue! It's been five months, but Mystique is finally bringing back her beloved Destiny! And she might also be bringing back another familiar face.... Will it be Wolverine, the father of one of her new sons that she never seems to be raising? Or her secret husband, Professor X, the father of her other phantom-baby? 

Years of Future Past #1

And if one Destiny weren't enough, we get another one in the alternate universe book based on Days of Future Past!

Archie #666

It's the "Sign of the Beast" issue, and the forces of Satan have gathered together to END ARCHIE COMICS! But it isn't all bad news: Kevin Keller gets a variant cover and Archie is going to relaunch next month. Take that, forces of evil!

X-tinction Agenda #1

Remember when Rictor used to be in at least one book every month? Yeah, those were good days... (Fun Fact: As a kid I had a HUGE crush on Rictor!) Anyway, he's in this book! W00t!

All New X-Men #41

The kids, including newly out Iceman, take on the Utopians!

Morning Glories #46

It's time for some independent study. That phrase has never seemed more ominous!

Wicked and Divine #11

Ragnarok ends, which means... a new beginning!

SuperQueeros! for April 3rd, 2013

The theme this week is jumping between dimensions or across the universe. That is, it's just another Wednesday in the office for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!

Age of Apocalypse #14

X-termination continues in this, the final issue of Age of Apocalypse! I kind of love that Northstar, Howlett, and Herc are all on one team with Wolverine. With that character dynamic in play I'm hoping that they'll stop all the "smash and slash" long enough to have some squee sexuality moments!

Earth 2 #11

This is the best cover of the week, IMO. The solicit says that ANOTHER new character (SPOILERS) is going to show up, so the chances of some Green Lantern development seem slim... I am hoping, though, that Sam's death being a conspiracy leads to some sort of rebirth for the dead dude!

All New X-Men #10

Mystique and Sabretooth continue to plot! The Uncanny X-Men show up at the school to recruit some older students. It would be nice to see some more of the students... Maybe Anole will get some page time? 

Archie #642

Archie Meets Glee Part 2! I wasn't sure how I would feel about this crossover, but Dilton's analysis of the parallels of Archie and Glee were nerd-tastic, Veronica getting slushied was sweet, sweet karma, and the prospect of Rachel and Archie in a Battle of the Bands against Josie and the Pussycats???? I'm pretty sure that moments like that is why I started reading comics. But what about Kevin and Blaine?????????

Fashion Beast #8

"...no one can anticipate the fate of Celestine from inside his citadel of fashion." Aaaaaaand my job is done here!

Locke and Key: Omega #4

The battle gets taken underground as the prom takes a nasty(er) turn and Dodge's plan starts to come to fruition.

Stormwatch #19

So I guess Apollo and Midnighter are getting Voyager'd across space so they can crossover with Lobo and have space-adventures getting home? This sounds a lot like when Kurt moved to New York, except that Lobo is way less cute than Dean Geyer...

SuperQueeros! for February 6th, 2013

New month, new search-term heavy standard opener! Oh, and there are seven awesome, queer-inclusive titles out this week, so read on to get the 411 on this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

Fashion Beast #6

Oh, hey, did you guys know that Alan Moore wasn't just publishing a queers-versus-Harry Potter literary mash-up these days* but was also giving us an 80's-tastic, cross-dressing Beauty and the Beast/Christian Dior mash-up (source)? Unfortunately (at least for me) I haven't been able to find it digitally... But hey, be my superqueero and give me a shout if you pick it up IRL! Or better yet, if you see it in your virtual(ly local) comic book shop! 

*(see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century)

EDIT: Fearless Defenders #1 came out this week, and so did its dreamy archeologist Dr. Annabelle Riggs! But does anyone know if her crush on Valkyrie will be requited? Or if I can yenta her into going out with Karma?
Kevin Keller #7

Does our hapless-in-love Kevin K have a boo?! That's what Ronnie concludes in this issue of the ever-adorbs hit series about "Archie's Pal" and Riverdale's resident 'queero! (Seriously, "Archie's Pal"? Do all Archie-verse covers have to have sexual undertones???) 

#notcomplaining

Stormwatch #17

Is everyone frakkin' dead?! Apollo and Midnighter were jettisoned into the Bleed, this is the Carrier's final issue, and what happened to Jenny Quantum and Hawksmoor??? Or, yeah, and Angie is evil?!?!!? What the Funion????!?

All New X-Men #7

Mystique is back!!!!!!!!! And this time she's feeling up on the nubile Mr. Summers! #livingthedream

X-Factor #251

So, Wolfsbane is back with her son! But Evil Strong Guy and Jezebel teleported everyone to fight six overlords of Hell... But M and Darwin (also back) were left behind in the rubble of the XFI building! I... have absolutely no idea where this story is going, but I can guarantee on thing: M is pissed, and someone's going to pay. #modusoperandi 

Earth 2 #9

Dr. Fate! A whole spate of new characters! I'm still waiting for them to better develop the ones they have/bring back Sam!!

Fairest #12

Rapunzel's past misdeeds come back to haunt her! Look at that cover! That looks pretty haunt-y!
