SuperQueeros! for April 6th, 2016

It's the end of an era! The Batgirl of Burnside enters her denouement, Midnighter's ex flies back into the picture,  and Harley is only in three books this week. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Midnighter #11

It's finally time for Apollo's landing! Apollo has been keeping an eye on his ex, but this week we get the first meeting of the two former husbands! Midnighter can survive a midair fight against a dozen Metroplex clones, but can he survive... a broken heart?!

Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad April Fool's Special #1

When you're the super-villain shrink to the A-List, what do you do when you need a new target? You do your job, of course! Harley starts Evil Anonymous in order to help her contemporaries move from being perpetrators to victims. But of all the people she's playing, who is playing Harley?

New Suicide Squad #19

The Fist of Cain has our anti-heroes against the wall! Will Task Force X be able to wiggle out of this one, or are they finally going to live up to the name of their comic?

Injustice Gods God Among Us Year Five #7

Harley and Catwoman head off on their own and run across Damien, just as he's working to become the next Nightwing!

Batgirl #50

Babs' epic adventure in Burnside comes to a conclusion! When the smoke clears, where will the conflict leave Batgirl, and will she be changed forever? (Or will it just be for the next two issues?)

Prophet Earth War #3

John Ka and crew are on a quest to be your Terran sniper.

The Wicked + The Divine #18

Persephone's story arc starts up this week!

The Uncanny X-Men #6

Archangel takes center stage for the Apocalypse War!

Archie #7

Archie and Veronica have crossed Hiram, and now there will be heck to pay!

SuperQueeros! for November 26, 2014

Not a lot of comics this week, but what there are feature a few familiar 'queeros that we haven't seen in a while.  SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Amazing X-Men #13

Finally, some Anole! Nightcrawler and Northstar leap to the rescue as Anole's deepest fears run amok in NYC! But what could a perennial fan favorite like Anole truly fear?

Earth 2: World's End #8

Constantine joins the fight! Now if only he and Alan Scott would share some sexual tension, all my hellblazingest dreams would come true!

Prophet Strikefile #2

More of John Ka's friends and enemies make their debut in this encyclopedia of the Prophet-verse.

SuperQueeros! for September 10, 2014

This week brings back people you thought long gone. People and... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batgirl: Future's End #1

Simone gives us a peek at her future for Babs, as well as for Alysia and James Gordon. But after Batgirl's bae gets fridged and she quits the superhero game, who will carry on her legacy? And will they be able to draw her out of retirement?

Morning Glories #40

It looks like Jade is back!

Prophet Strike File #1

Get the low down on all the characters in the Prophet-verse, including John Ka! 

Plus, X-Force #9 sees Psylocke and her team take on MI-13, Betty and Veronica #272 sees the girls leave Riverdale and their GBF, Kevin, behind, and Ms. Marvel dogsits!

SuperQueeros! for May 21st, 2014

There are a stack of "jumping on" points this week. Hopefully some of the people jumping onto the new storyline bandwagon will be some of our favorite... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batwoman #31

Batwoman's conflict with Wolf Spider comes to a head! But will Kate discover that her newest foe is her oldest GBF?

SuperQueeros! for January 15th, 2014

The wave of Marvel NOW! is sweeping one X-Force out, the Rat Queens face a brand new enemy - consequences!!, and Batgirl goes Goth(topia)! The world is certain topsy-turvy this week for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Uncanny X-Force #16

It's the moment we knew was coming ever since the launch of TWO X-Force titles: The Ultimate Showdown!!! But with a team that barely knows each other's  first names, how does Storm expect to pull one over on the father-daughter tag-team of Hope and Cable??? I mean, besides by being her awesome self, that is.

SuperQueeros! for August 7th, 2013

OMG, It's Kevin's first kiss! Plus the trade paperback of an awesome anthology and a whole lot more... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Kevin Keller #10

Kevin Keller kisses a boy for the first time! TOO CUUUUUUTE! Also, the cover is a commission requested by my friend Nathan at MegaCon (he's the gay featured in this article about superhero tattoos)!

The Movement #4
With Rainmaker in the mix, there's more than one sort of storm breaking on the beseiged police department! Plus, Mouse's secret origin!

Earth 2 #15
Green Lantern falls victim to the hounds of Apokolips!

Artifacts #30
Finch is front and center as she's distracted from her primary mission by a begging Judge. What help does he need?

Prophet #38

Not sure if the children of Badrock are the charges of John Ka, but whoever's responsible for them better get their butt in gear before they're turned into living weapons!

Stormwatch #23

The Kollective's secrets are uncovered!

All New X-Men #15
Mystique will probably be in this book, but it's mostly about Cyc losing his gf. #yawn

X-Factor #260
The episodic nature of these final issues make me think that we won't be getting any Rictor or Shatterstar in this issue, but Polaris and Quicksilver do duke it out!

No Straight Lines: Four Decades Of Queer Comics (TP)

In case you missed this awesome anthology on your tablet or in hardcover, you can be the proud owner of the trade paperback starting this Wednesday! It's really funny, inspiring, a lil' sexy, and all around awesome!

SuperQueeros! for July 17th, 2013

Batwoman!

We've got some great queer comics, plus I've got some queer and queer-adjacent shout-outs! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batwoman #22

The D.E.O. are importing villains to take on Batman. What does that mean for Batwoman and Flamebird? Classic villains smack-down!!!

X-Factor

Invincible #104 

Last issue our happy homos Rick Sheridan and William Clockwell showed up for Angstrom Levy's return. Will the last through his vengeful stay this month???

X-Factor #259

THE TRUTH ABOUT LONGSHOT AND SHATTERSTAR?!?!?! FINALLY???? AFTER 20 YEARS????? YEEEEEESSSSSSSS! (Oh, also I guess this means Ric and 'Star are alive!!)

FF #9

FF

Something about the evil FF attacking the whole Marvel U? Tong has zher work cut out for zher! But first... POOL PARTY!!!!

Uncanny X-Force - OTP!!!

Uncanny X-Force #8

Uh-oh, Cluster and Psylocke do not look like they are getting along... how will they be girlfriends now?????

Prophet #28

The solicit says that this issue focuses on the great granddaddy of the Prophets, so there may not be any John Ka in this issue. But they do give a name to that weird face-frame that so many costumes from the '90s had! They call it a "crown shield". I call it "needs more spirit gum".

Wonder Woman #22

Diana has landed on New Genesis! I wonder if New Gods and old demi-gods mix?

Shout-Outs:

Gunnerkrigg Court #4

If you're not reading this webcomic about precocious lesbians online, then pick up the collected versions! The hardcover for the fourth cycle comes out today, so you have no excuses!

Red Sonja #1

While it's unclear if this book has any queers outright, it is written by Gail Simone and has a variant cover from basically all your fav women illustrators. So if no queer characters are introduced, at least you know it will be awesome!

SuperQueeros! for June 26th, 2013

It's a hummingbird! It's a Hot Wheels Plane! It's... No teaser this week! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

Morning Glories #28

Evidently this issue is going to be a double-sized conclusion to the first arc of the new season. That's two double size issues all at once! I wonder if that means that the trade will only be issues 27 and 28... ANYWAY IS THAT HISAO/JUN ON THE COVER WTF I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD! And, most importantly, is he gay like his twin?

Prophet #36

No mention of John Ka in the solicit, but it is getting pretty dramatic in the Prophet-verse!

FF #8

Everyone goes to rescue Bentley-23! Will Tong's gender identity help her save the day?

Chew #35

The hunt for the vampire continues! I don't think we had John or Mike last issue... fingers crossed! And also hidden far away from any chibopathic mouths!

Avengers Arena #11

Now that Mettle is totes dead and Finesse is outside of Chester's Mill, Hazmat and Reptil are evidently pairing up. Unless this is a bi triple involving Bloodstone, color me YAWN. Unless unless this is just build-up for killing off Reptil...

X-Men #2

John Sublime's sister is on the warpath, and Sublime himself is here to help the team take her down. But with his sister in control of Omega Sentinel, will the X-men survive long enough to decide if they can trust him? Oh, and will we see more of Bling!?????????

Teen Titans #21

Everyone knows Robin is bad! How does Bunker feel about one of his straight best friends being a totes baddie???

All New X-Men #13

The baby X-men take the fight to Mystique as they try to clear their names!

Justice League Dark #21

We find out how all the kids die! Including Xanadu? Isn't that exactly how her powers don't work?

Young Avengers #6

One of the best and queerest books around tackles Speed and Prodigy, the least interesting character and the most PERFECT (if he were queer) character, respectively. Wiccan and Hulkling might show up in this book, or it will be about the twenty-something experience at a desk job. So, basically, you can't go wrong with this one!

True Blood #14

More undead waitresses! Possible Lafayette?

SuperQueeros! for May 8th, 2013

What's in Gio's pouch? Does the Shining Knight's newly minted damnation bar yo from achieving zhis quest? And how will the dashing Dr. Riggs react to the revelation of her sweetie's doom-y origins? All this and much more in this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!


Supurbia #7

Last issue Aso found the impossible: a third child of a Daughter of Bright Moon! How can she leverage this secret, and will she want to, given that Batu still seems convinced that Eli must die? Plus, this issue Sara is going to reach a turning point in her corruption at the hands of Hector Hunt, who's well on his way to enacting his plan to use the Weapons Expo as cover for his jailbreak. Will Alexis be able to stop him? And what's in that glowing red bag that Agent Twilight liberated from that clearly-a-set-up "arms dealer"? And who wants him to have it? Diabolical shapeshifting robot Ruth, perhaps????

Astonishing X-Men #62

Iceman has some fallout from his time in the AoA. Probably something to do with that death seed that Dark Beast shoved into him? I'm sure his ex, Mystique, will only be helpful in this situation!

Prophet #35

"New father prophet" is searching for a weapon. I wonder if gender-bent John Ka will be the 'queero to find it?

Avengers Arena #9

Did you catch the double coming out last issue? Cammi outed Bloodstone and Apex transitioned! Plus Chase revealed that he's the new Darkhawk, Justin's paraplegic, and Anachronism finally got the bloodthirsty bully of his dreams. What will happen next???

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #21

Willow's back! And Xander has just thrown in his allegiance with the Big Bads!!! Will his work as a double agent double Dawn's chances of survival? Or doom her to fading out of reality completely???? And what are Billy and Anaheed up to? For that matter, where did Illyria go???

Demon Knights #20

So Sir Ystin is a vampire now? How will that affect zher quest for the Grail? And does Exoristos find vampires sexy???

Fearless Defenders #4

As the solicit says, "Come for the banter, stay for the suprises!" And by surprises, they mean retcons: Valkyrie kissed a maiden in the first issue and in issue 3 figured out that her whole origin is bupkiss: she's a Doom Maiden!!!! Hopefully this won't affect her budding relationship with Dr. Annabelle Riggs...

Life with Archie: Archie Marries Veronica #39

So evidently the political muckraking is about to begin for Kevin's senatorial campaign. I'm just confused: if Kevin publicly married Clay, how is it going to be a controversial issue that his opponent can exploit? Unless marriage equality isn't the norm in Future!Riverdale? Because it's impossible to have unrepentant haters in the Archie-verse, right??

Witchblade #166

Now that Sara knows the truth about the remade universe, it's time to bring it down, starting with the world's only honest politician. Will Dani step in to stop her? (In my fanfic she does, just as Finch/the Angelus is interfering too. Dani and Finch see each other across the room and, WHAMO, love at first-sight-in-this-iteration-of-the-Image-verse!)

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!
