SuperQueeros! for July 13th, 2016

Now that everyone is back from their Independence Day vacations, its time for the flood gates to open and give us... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Morning Glories #50

it's the season two finale! Who will live? Who will die? And what will the next chapter of this classic comic hold?

Detective Comics #936

Batman is out of the picture (finally!), which means it's up to Batwoman to take charge of her team of teenage vigilantes and save the day!

Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy #2

Jen is missing! Can our two teams join forces and find her before it's too late?

New Avengers #13

Can AIM and the New Avengers survive now that Songbird isn't the SHIELD agent assigned to their case?

DC Comics Bombshells #15

Renee and Batwoman reunite while Harley, Ivy, and Constantine start a rebellion!

Earth 2 Society #14

Civil War hits the Wonders! Will our heroes smash each other to bits, or can the Amazon's new tech save this fledgling world?

Insexts #6

The first issue of the two-part finale! Our heroines take the fight to the Hag!

Deadpool #15

Civil War hits the Mercs for Money!

SuperQueeros! for December 30, 2015

It's the last Wednesday of 2015! While you contemplate what issues you will buy to round out your year, let me offer some suggestions: the break out comic of 2015 and a couple of classic 'queeros. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Jem and the Holograms #10

After nine issues of glam girl power, the series shifts perspective to get Rio's take on the 'Grams and the Misfits, as well as the frontwoman who is stealing his heart. On the eve of 2016, be sure to catch this new take on JatH, a series that defined good comics in 2015.

Rat Queens #14

Dee connects with her brother, Hannah reunites with her father, and Betty and Violet face down an ice dragon. Sounds like the holidays to me!

Morning Glories #49

It's part 1 of "The Election", the finale to season two of Morning Glories! Who will die? Who will resurrect? Who will become class president?

Deadpool and Cable: Split Second #1

Our fav pansexual merc and his time-jumping buddy are back to foil plots, enact schemes, and otherwise mess with the fate of the Marvel U!

SuperQueeros! for September 30th, 2015

A super blood moon and five Wednesdays in the month?! September is really going for broke this year! Check out what comics this strange lunar cycle has brought us... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Archie #3

Veronica Lodge had arrived in Riverdale. Witness a re-imagining of the moment she and Kevin become GBFs! (I hope. He's not the mover and shaker he once was in this universe...)

Morning Glories #48

Art imitates life, which means it's time for an interminable and upsetting debate!

SuperQueeros! for August 5th, 2015

Only a few 'Queeros this week, but what cool ones they are! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Midnighter #3

Steve Orlando's awesome new Midnighter series continues to kick bad guy butt while dating good guy butt! It looks like the baddie of the month is a post-Convergence Multiplex, but who will the date of the month be? And will they be modeled after one of the cast members of CW's The Flash? #ABoyCanDream

Detective Comics #43
Renee, Maggie, new-Batman, and the rest of the team tackle a new enemy!

Morning Glories #47

The likelihood of more Guillaume this issue seems low, especially if the issue follows the progress of Irene's "field trip" to kill Zoe. On the other hand, this series likes to tell a broad story in revealing snippets, so maybe we'll get some more Tower Ball and Boyfriend Resurrection. After all, if Zoe and Jade can cheat death, why can't gay love?

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 29th, 2015

Super-villains are ramping up their activity this week, but hopefully they can be stopped by... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Wolverines #16

Remember how most of the Paradise team was murdered at Sinister's fortress? Well it looks like they may be getting a second lease on life... Or, more likely, a time-share on some kind of Frankenstein half-life.

Morning Glories #45

Now that "she's gone", it looks like the crazies are stealing the spotlight. Hopefully Guillaume will be okay!

Convergence #4

It's halfway through the miniseries, so I'm supposing that this issue's surprise super-villain is going to be a pivotal Big Bad.

X-Men #26

The Burning Earth comes to its conclusion and the team fights to break the cycle!

SuperQueeros! for March 25th, 2015

For everyone who was wondering, I did some Gotham Academy research and I have a handle on the #queerness of its cast. Plus, I go a little crazy with the 21st century's first rhetorical device, the #hashtag. #SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Earth 2 World's End #25

Green Lantern takes his last shot at saving Earth 2. Can Alan and the Kryptonians emerge victorious? #UseThePowerOfLove

Wolverines #12

Fantomelle's mission comes to an end. Meanwhile, Fang and Lady Deathstrike make their alliances known in Sharp and Ogun's battle for control of their shared body! #FantomelleRules #NewArmForDaken2015

Amazing X-Men #18

Now that The Living Monolith is also The Unstoppable Juggernaut, it's time for the team-up 50 years in the making: Colussus and Cain Marko! (At least, that's what the solicits seem to be implying. Also, did you see how Cain Marko punched Colussus in the same issue that Crossbones breaks his hand on Colossus' jaw? So Cain must have some sort of residual strength, right?) #MoreNorthstarPlease

Uncanny X-Men #32

This title is about to go through a metamorphosis as Cyc sends all the students to the Jean Grey school and teams up with his brother, Mutant Two-Face, to be criminals on the run. So one last chance to see Morph before he fades into the background? #ScottSummersIsAD!ck

Morning Glories #44

How will this season's intricate plans unfold this week? Hopefully we'll get some more Guillaume and Tower Ball! #BasketballShorts

Wicked + Divine #9

Bring on the god-maker! Ananke drops by. #NoBig

Gotham Academy #6

So I think the 'queero in this comic is maybe Maps? She definitely hasn't picked a sexuality as a first year, so it's hard to say, but she's awesome and she took her cute roommate to the school dance so.... Oh, and Olive fights Batman for guardianship of Killer Croc. #AverageDay 

SuperQueeros! for February 11th, 2014

It's Valentine's, and to ring in the holiday, I'm welcoming back an old 'queero! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Wolverines #6

The assault on Sinister's fortress leads to the inevitable consequence of clandestine capers: betrayal! But which Wolvie will be defecting to the side of the (marginally more) Sinister? Plus, the Amazing X-men show up!

Earth 2 World's End #19
Last we left Green Lantern, his boyfriend was in mortal peril and the Spirit of Apokolips was about to kill the Green, the source of all his power!

Morning Glories #43
How do you beat the unbeatable? In a fictional universe whose physical mechanics are dictated by philosophy and whose population are routinely stuck in circular time loops, is anyone truly unbeatable? Conversely, but equally valid, is anyone truly beatable? Is this story unbeatable, or has it already been beaten by its dependence on a multi-volume storyline that is obscured by a non-linear narrative? Are we as comic readers, and therefore comic "real"-izers, beatable? Is a one word solicit unbeatable, or is there a way to extract a paragraph's worth of nonsense from a single word and some stern-faced cover art? In this issue of Morning Glories, absolutely none of these questions will be answered. But we may get hot gay French guys playing Towerball and/or sacrificing a girl.

#Lost2:Lostier

X-Force #15

This is it! The evil-Fantomex storyline finally ends ultimately concludes!

All New X-Men #36

The All-New X-Men take on the Ultimate X-Men and... is that Ultimate Colossus on the cover?!?!? #interrobangable

Harley Corner:

New Suicide Squad #7 and Harley Quinn Valentine's Special #1

After reading a few articles about it recently, I have renewed my subscription to Harely/Ivy: Canon OTP. That means I'll be covering the couple again, even if they don't ever get married on the steps of Arkham! And, just in time to welcome them back, Harley has a Valentine's Special! Watch as our favorite psychologist-turned-icon celebrates the season by tying up Batman and covering the page in hearts! It's basically what you're doodling at work anyway. 

#HarleyWin

SuperQueeros! for November 19th, 2014

Last week may have been light on superqueeros, but this week the law of conservation of queers means that we've got a ton of... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Lumberjanes #8

The Lumberjanes have reached the end of their mystery, and the answer is... sibling rivalry between ancient Greek twin gods! Will they be able to settle the rivalry, or at least come out alive?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 10 #9

Sunnydale homecoming turns sour when the crew realizes that Andrew is in need of some help defending the reality-defining book of Vampyr!

Batwoman #36

Kate meets up - and teams up - with Jason Blood, a.k.a. The Demon!

Teen Titans #4

The teens meet up with the mastermind behind the team of operatives and cyborgs they've been fighting since issue one. What commentary on America's youth and its relationship to adulthood will this villain represent?

Avengers and X-Men: Axis #6

The heroes and villains are at each other's throats, and the solicit promises the birth of the Astonishing Avengers.  But who are these new Avengers? Perhaps the villains mentioned in the solicit: Quicksilver, Magneto, Mystique, and Loki?

Morning Glories #42

This issue marks an explicit DECLARATION! (...I hear.)

X-Force #12

Fantomex takes down his own team because narcissism! He's kind of Deadpool-ing out of narrative plausibility these days, eh?

Earth 2: World's End #7

The war continues! I've been assuming that Green Lantern is in this, but he hasn't made any of the covers yet, so... who knows. Maybe you? Let me know, if you do!

And some possibly queer-inclusive issues: Multiversity: Pax Americana #1.3, Wonder Woman's post-Azzarello relaunch in Wonder Woman #36, and Uncanny X-Men #28.

SuperQueeros! for October 1st, 2014

We've got a more eclectic mix of media this week, from classic comics at your LCS to some less IRL comics. All of them, though, bring the superqueeroics! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Rat Queens #8

The solicit says that, if you can't beat the Old God's occultists, join them, then shiv them in the back with a rusty blade! #RatQueensStyle Sounds like things are getting interesting in for Betty and the Queens!

Burn the Orphanage: Reign of Terror #5

The second miniseries of Burn the Orphanage is finishing up this week, so if you're in the mood read about Bear, a gay bear with the literal heart of a bear, beat the snot out of MannCorp, why not pick up this issue, the prior four in this series, and the three issue series that started his story!

X-Men #20

Psylocke and the X-Men take on the Genespliced, a troupe of alien hybrids!

Morning Glories #41

I've gotten behind on my Morning Glories, so all I can say is what the solicits say: "Nowhere else to go." Gulp.

Thor #1

It's the debut of the new Thor, as penciled by Russell Dauterman!

Plus! Maybe you remember Terry Blas's Briar Hollow webcomic? Well issue #6 is starting, and it's starting out sexy! Plus, if you pop over to Northwest Press, you can order a copy of Dash #1, a queer noir that came out this month!

And in the queer adjacent category we have Gotham Academy #1 and Wonder Woman #34!

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 July 2nd, 2014

Marvel's gearing up for their movie release this weekend, so NONE of this week's titles are from Marvel. As I was reminiscing with my landlady today, where, oh where, did the gay sci-fi heydays of Jack Harkness go? Thankfully, we've got some classic titles this week to keep us going. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Earth 2 #25

Okay, this title is fast becoming the Ultimate-verse of DC. This issue we get the landmark debut of a Superman of color, Val-Zod! And he literally has to overcome the twisted, white, heteronormative patriarchy of his newly evil predecessor, Kal-El. The fact that he's accompanied by two golden age heroes, one re-imagined as a queer character and the other as a person of color, is kind of a huge deal. You might want to pick this issue up IRL. When Miles Morales and Val-Zod are competing as box office mainstays, it might pay to have a copy on hand to auction.

Morning Glories #39

Now that the straight twin is inhabiting the gay twin's body, we kind of lost our regularly occurring queer character. Sure his cute French boyfriend is still around, but he's just mopey now. Someone needs to resurrect our gAyPI superqueero quickly! Or give Jade a girlfriend. She's alive again, right?

Hack/Slash: Son of Samhain #1

Cassie Hack is back! Maybe this time her slasher partner will be a girl? And there will be romance? #notholdingmybreath

SuperQueeros! for April 16, 2013

This week... I Was A Teenage Vampire Nanny! Plus a TON of all your favorite... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

X-Men #13

Shogo's past - and future! - are revealed! But what do they want with our favorite fang-y mall rat? And will there be anything for Bling! to punch?

SuperQueeros! for February 19th, 2014

Last week I missed a couple of issues that came out: Life with Archie (Kevin Keller and Clay Walker) and Rachel Rising (Aunt Jonny-in-a-dog). This week I've got 7 books under the cut, so you might be reading until next week even if I didn't get all of this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

X-Men #11

The Sisterhood is upping its firepower by bringing in Selene and Madelyne Prior. It seems that Bling! is going to have a lot more to punch through than just Sentinels in this issue...

SuperQueeros! for January 8th, 2014

Happy New Year! Thankfully, we start out the first new comic book day of the new year with some of our old favorite... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Young Avengers #15

Tears! We say good-bye Kieron Gillen's awesome run on YA this week. But with the all-star (and almost-all-queer) set of charas on the cover, who knows what 'queeroic goodies it hides?

Read more »

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?

Read more »

SuperQueeros! for November 6th, 2013

Following on from a month of endings, we have a brand new SuperQueero title beginning this week! That's right, it's Northstar's new Amazing X-Men! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Amazing X-Men #1

As is customary in comics these days, the death of a classic hero heralds not inaction, but the beginning of a quest. Usually the quest is for the perished hero zherself, but for Nightcrawler of the X-Men the quest will be undertaken by his teammates: Northstar, Storm, Iceman, Firestar, Beast, and Wolverine have all banded together to get back the fun-loving demon-elf, and it's fixing to be AMAZING. No news yet on how this will affect Northstar's marriage...

SuperQueeros! for October 16th, 2013

The end of an era for Batwoman and the beginning of one for Wonder Woman this week in... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batwoman #24

It's Kate vs Bruce! The battle we've been waiting for all year has arrived! But will Kate throw her punches? Will bruce understand what's going on? And how will J.H. and crew wrap the story now that they're leaving the book???

Morning Glories #33

With the dramatic reveal of Vanessa's past and future, will we be catching up with any more "dead" characters this is issue? Or just Jun?

Wonder Woman #24

Now that there's a new god of war, how will the DCnU be affected???

Invincible #106

Invincible takes on the Ultra-Daddy!

SuperQueeros! for October 2nd, 2013

Welcome to October! Villains Month is over, so we finally get to see someone of our DC favs again this week! Plus, the end of Mara!!! And maybe the re-beginning of Zoe in Morning Glories??? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Read more »

SuperQueeros! for September 18th, 2013

There's a new book in town (if only for the week)! The Doctor has picked up one of the world's most famous 'queeros, Oscar Wilde, in order to pepper his next adventure with Gallifreyan-level wit! Also, Supurbia turns it up a notch, Morning Glories no doubt puts another notch in its belt of murders, and Ultimate X moves a notch above the States when it gets its first gay president (of Utopia)! All in a week's work for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!
