SuperQueeros! for October 21st, 2015

After last week's new Avengers, it seems like the MCU is taking a back seat and letting DC and the other companies carry the queer banner. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Teen Titans #12

Now that the team knows the truth about Superboy's crime, it's time for them to dramatically walk away, leaving him physically abandoned and emotionally damaged! I think I read a fanfiction about this once...

Lumberjanes #19

April's bid to help the merfolk of the lake is not going as planned!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #20

Buffy and Spike have a serial killer to topple, and Giles and Xander have a paranormal ex to investigate. That's right, Anya. Is she really the ghost of the best character ever, or is something more sinister going on?

Secret Six #7

Well Black Alice went and screwed up magic for everybody! But maybe she's also the key to fixing everything... Guest starring all the heavy hitter mages of the DCU!

Invincible #124

In the latest storyline, our hero gets sent back in time to before the series' massacre and he gets a second chance to interact with all those characters who died. Maybe we'll see Will Clockwell!

SuperQueeros! for September 16th, 2015

To make up for last week, all your favorite books are coming out this Wednesday, and they're all packed with... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Lumberjanes #18

April uses her relationship repair abilities to help out some merfolk!

Constantine the Hellblazer #4

Now that Constantine knows that his ex is deceased, it's time for a bender in good ol' London! 

Jem and the Holograms #7

The Holograms may not have won the battle of the bands, but nothing will stop them from going... Viral!

Rat Queens #12

It's time for a blast from Hannah's past, and some secrets that she's hoping her party won't learn!

Secret Six #6 

It's wedding time! Which means someone thought dead is going to burst in and yell their objections in 3... 2...

Harley Quinn #20

Harley's hitting the West Coast and when she's done Hollywood Harleywood will never be the same!

House of M #3

Magneto is forced to join the human resistance against Atlantis, Quicksilver, and Fin Fang Foom. Will Wiccan and Speed join their grandfather?

SuperQueeros! for August 4th, 2010

Happy August! Four brand new Wednesdays await us, so let's see what the queer superheroes are up to in Week One!

The Authority #25

It's one part denouement and one part... nouement(?) this issue as Hawksmoor explains his super-secret ultimate-weapon-secret that he kept from the crew until last issue, just in time for the Carrier to reach its final destination. But where or to what has the Carrier been taking the Authority? And who, what, and how is it being guarded? (Because it wouldn't be a story without someone guarding it/he/she!) Also, Rainmaker is so the star of this cover!

Secret Six #24

Okay... I'm confused. The solicit for this month's Secret Six literally reads: "In a small, corrupt mining boom-town, six remarkable strangers who hate each other band together in a bloody last stand against an army set on destroying them all!" Have we warped back in time to the creation of the Secret Six? In the Old West? And why doesn't Deadshot dress like that more often? And will Knockout still be alive???

The Rawhide Kid #3

Another penultimate issue as Rawhide Kid tells his origin story right before he faces off against the Sensational Seven. This piques my interest a little bit: will Rawhide's story be as blatantly stereotypical as his current status quo? Or will we get a more nuanced, interesting origin? This issue could be a game changer for how I see Marvel's most fierce gun fighter. Stand by to judge!

House of Mystery #28

The witches are off and they're taking Fig with them! Given that the witches have hired the goblins to fight their war with them, and that Tursig narrates the story-within-the-story next issue, I think there's a pretty good chance that they're taking everyone's fav gay goblin along for the ride! I wonder what he's like on long road trips...

SuperQueeros! for June 9th

All the Queers in Comicdom, this week:

X-Men: Second Coming - Revelations: Hellbound #2 (of 3)

The gayest team of X-Men ever gathered continues on their quest to rescue the Limbo-lost Illyana Rasputin. But Gambit's mysterious dark side has been triggered by the demon dimension, and it does not look very friendly. Will Gambit save the team or smite them? Will Anole, or another X-man, lose another limb? And does Magik even NEED saving? The baddies haven't tied her up and, last I checked, she was a cruel and ruthless Darkchylde. This storyline is short, sweet, gay and PACKED with action. #GetIt

Secret Six #22

The end of the Catman revenge story! Watch half-naked boys and kick-ass lesbians knock the snot out of mercenaries, assassins, and other baddies that are badder (but not as bad-ass) as the band of bad guys we call the Secret Six. And thank Gail Simone for making all your dreams come true.

The Rawhide Kid #1 (of 4)

Is it just me, or is the Rawhide Kid kind of a Mary Sue? Except without the dying part? That opening scene in the preview? Whatever the case, he's one the oldest, most high-profile gay characters out there. Pick up his book if you like cowboys, comedy, or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy: Rawhide Kid is a consummate marksman, a flippant vigilante, and definitely not "masc looking for same." (Can you tell I was on Grindr this weekend? [You can tell.])

Honorable Mention:

House of Mystery #26

I love this book, but the queer content has been NON-EXISTENT recently. I'll upgrade it on Wednesday if this month has some gay trolling. Edit: THERE IS CUTE GAY CONTENT. Only for a panel, but still. Finally some gay troll page time!

SuperQueeros! for April 14th, 2010

All the LGBT comics coming out on April 14th!!

SIEGE: Young Avengers #1

YOUNG AVENGEEEEEERRRRRSSSS!!!!! I am a famished man at a feast! Okay, more like a microwave meal, but anything seems like a feast to the wanting! Billy! Teddy! Boyfriends!!! I love these guys, you love these guys, for some reason someone is writing about them, it doesn't matter. Go, buy, LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE!

Secret Six #20

Okay, Catman is going off on people in Africa, so expect HOT. SHIRTLESS. MAN. VIOLENCE. That is to say, the best thing comic books have to offer. Additionally, Scandal is about, so it's a 100% on the lesbi-awesome meter too!

New Mutants #12

Well Second Coming has started, so things will be all action for the next few months. Hopefully New Mutants will have both a self-contained story thread and a butt-load of Karma kicking @$$. The preview appears set up both of these elements, so things look quite promising!

Superqueeros! for December 9th, 2009

Each week we bring you a summary of which new comics are featuring LGBT(etc.) characters! Now, I'm no Amadeus Cho, so I may miss one or two. If you spot an omission, please let me know in the comments section and I'll correct it!


Secret 6 #16
I have no idea what the state of the team is, since none of my comic book stores stocked issues 15 or 16, but I am disproportionately excited about the introduction of Black Alice to the team. I read up on her last week and she is KICK ASS. She's all tortured and dysfunctional and she switches from bad guy to good guy more times than Heroes season three! She's also insanely overpowered and pretty much just plain old insane: BEST. COMBO. Plus, Vandal or Jeanette is sure to be in this issue, so it's LGBT-legit too!


Dark X-men #2
If you read the preview you know that (1) Mystique acting as Jean Grey is an integral part to the plot of this limited series, (2) that kind of makes her whimsically macabre choice of cover identity a plot device, and (3) Mystique has added another tick mark in her tally of X-Men-whose-Mom-I-am. All of which means that this book is going somewhere. And hopefully that place will be dark, morally reprehensible, and warranting a continuing series. Also, HAWT!!

Nation X #1

The first time I read about one of these limited series about the X-characters I thought, "Ugh. Another inconsequential tie-in to sell more crossover books." But that's not what these stories are at all. Sure they end up having something to do with whatever the current crossover is, but the real point of these series is to explore and give the spotlight over to the B and C list X-men. And that means Queer Takeover (and quality character development, blah, blah, blah, ANOLE!!!!!). This issue alone has confirmed, and sometime in this series there will be a more Anole-centric story and even a story! That features his boyfriend! And Colussus is such a beefcake in his story this month! SWOON!
