SuperQueeros! for November 27th, 2013

Doctor Who is all over the place this week, Saga explores its 'queeros, and Avengers Arena kills it's last students! Plus a whole bunch of other... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Doctor Who #15

Did everyone watch the 50th anniversary special??? Wasn't it EXCELLENT? Anyway, back in comicsville, it's the Doctor and Oscar Wilde against that alien gunman! How much wit can one alien take???

Saga #16

I think last issue we found out that the reporter duo are queer! Or, at least, that they are a couple who express the same gender. Alien sexuality is so treacherous to try to decode... But I say they read queer! Now what are their names, again?

SuperQueeros! for November 13th, 2013

I'm guessing that the overflow of Batman: Year Zero into Batgirl this week means no Alysia Yeoh, so we've only got two SuperQueero titles this week, and they're both from Marvel! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

The Fearless Defenders #11

It's Amazons Ahoy this month as we get some more backstory for Hippolyta when the team visits New Amazonia! Plus, it's Ren Kimura's first mission as a terrigen-mutated metahuman, her first mission with her new team, AND her first mission with Dr. Annabelle Riggs, her new looooooooove interest! But in the land of super-hot warrior ladies, will Ren and Annabelle make their love connection, or will they be too distracted by the paradise around them?

Avengers Arena #17

Last we left our heroes, Apex and Deathlocket had just awakened Old-Darkhawk (Arcade, WHY did you let this kid LIVE???), which was fortunate since they had also just been captured by Arcade! Upstairs, the remaining contestants are continuing to kill each other, oblivious to the potential change in Dungeon Master below them. How much longer can Arcade keep ahead of this steadily deteriorating situation? And who will be the Andrew Jackson of this story, taking a life after the war is over?

SuperQueeros! for September 11th, 2013

Since DC is all villain-y this month, I took the opportunity to look around and found a 'queero in Terry Moore's Rachel Rising! Plus, Bloodstone finally gets the spotlight again in Avengers Arena and we may get some progress on his storyline in this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Rachel Rising #19

Rachel is locked in battle with Lilith over her hometown of Manson, but luckily she's got her Aunt Johnny and johnny's gf Carol to back her up. With a some 'queero's in reserve, what could go wrong?

SuperQueeros! for August 28th, 2013

It's a mixed bag this week, but we DEFINITELY get the continuation of last month's SHOCKING Young Avengers! Plus Astonishing X-men and many more... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Young Avengers #9

The solicit for this issue reads:

We wanted to just write "Screaming! Screaming! Screaming!" for this solicit, but we're told we need boring old facts. :(

...and truer words were never spoken! Well, aside from the dumb facts bit. I have been SCREAMING SCREAMING SCREAMING for the past month over Prodigy's kiss stealing, and I'm going to be SCREAMING SCREAMING SCREAMING over to this book this month to see just WHY Hulkling looks so mopey!

Astonishing X-men #66

The coolest cover EVER. Stuff happens as this AMAZING series winds to its close! D:

Avengers Arena #13

So, we know Molly and Ant-man are trying to find there way into this book (bringing along girlfriends Julie Power and Karolina Dean) and it seems like a lot of these dead characters are coming back in one form or another (Mettle is now a Doombot, basically), so the body count of this book looks like it might be topping out. But who knows! Maybe they'll kill your fav in the final scene!

SuperQueeros! for March 6th, 2013

First off, a PA: Avengers Arena has British boyfriends! Yup, Anachronism and Bloodstone appear to be dating! Not sure if they're still alive though... Also, Image's Prophet has a genderqueer character in John Ka! Now, back to this week's regularly scheduled, super-sized... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!

Earth 2 #10

It's the heyday of the genderqueer as Wotan (originally a woman who Anya'd out, becoming a super-awesome magic-user to overcome her oppression by the patriarchy [Note: trigger warning if you look up what that oppression was], Wotan has switched bodies in order to extend zir lifetime and is now in the body of a man) faces off against Dr. Fate! Maybe later Wotan can join these Earth 2 Scoobies like zir Buffy-verse parallel! #fingerscrossed

Fashion Beast #7

Speaking of queering gender and coming out on top, Doll is a star!! Unfortunately, now things are going to start unraveling for this 'Queero!

Mara #3

Super-powered volleyball star Mara is coming out, this time as a metahuman! Now someone just needs to tell her that with great power comes great responsibility, most importantly the responsibility of staying alive once you catch the attention of the wrong people!

Stormwatch #18

Zealot joins Apollo and Midnighter to form the new Stormwatch!!! This book is a fanfic come true!!!!!!

Archie Meets Glee, Part 1

Oh my gosh... I am SO buying this JUST so I can see Kevin meet Kurt (Klaine could mean something VERY different by the time this miniseries ends! Oh, maybe Kevin is the real Eli!), but whoever paralleled Quinn with Betty and Rachel with Veronica CLEARLY only sees the world through hair colors! 

Fairest #13

The last issue for the queer Fable, Rapunzel! (Note that the depiction of Rapunzel's sexuality has not gotten the ravest reviews in the comments.)

True Blood #10

A one-off with Alcide!
