SuperQueeros! for August 20th, 2014

Good golly! There sure is a whole lot of reality warping this week. Not the least of which is my understanding of the flow of time: I think this is the second August book for some of these... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Teen Titans #2

The Titans' new reality of being Vine's next top starlettes is setting in. Time for some Superman poses!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 10 #6

TV show and comic collide as childhood fantasies become weapons to the team's newest demonic challenge!

Batwoman #34

Nocturna... Maggie... Kate... How does this polygon fit together? And will everyone make it out of this issue once the pieces fall into place? 

Original Sins #5

It's the end of the YA's team-up with evil! Will the Hood permanently mind-wipe two of the universes most excellent superqueeros?

Wicked + Divine #3

Lucy(fer) is the best (currently imprisoned) superqueero ever! But how will her new demon get her out of prison when the Morrigan has been supplanted by a young upstart god?

Batman Eternal #20

Didn't Batman Eternal #18 just come out? Anyway, there's possible Batwoman involvement in this issue, so who cares if Batman Eternal scoffs at mere numbers!

Multiversity #1

Grant Morrison. 52 Universes. One of them has to have a superqueero. I wonder if it's Captain Carrot?

SuperQueeros! for July 23rd, 2014

Kevin Keller, BtVS, Young Avengers, Saga, and more! This week it's all old classics for SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Life With Archie #37

One year after the momentous events of issue #36 - you know, when Archie got shot and died? - we meet back up with the gang to see just what life is like without Archie. As my boyfriend said, decrying angst-loving fans like me, when he found out that Archie had died, "Y'all have ruint comics!"

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 10 #5

The Scoobies continue their fight against Dracula! but now that he's cottoned on to the new world order and upgraded his supernatural prowess, will our kids be able to box the badder boogieman?

Original Sins #4

So now our heroes are doing bad things with a bad guy for an ostensibly good end. In a series about exposing secrets, this can't end well, can it?

Batman Eternal #16

I finally found where all the Batman 'queeros went! It's in this title! I don't know if any are slated for an appearance this issue, but Harper will be in this issue, so it's possible her brother will show.

Saga #21

Time to clean up a murder!

Queer-Adjacent

Afterlife with Archie, a normally very queer-inclusive title, will be focusing on Sabrina's experiences in the Netherworld this month. Meanwhile, at the Big Two, Wonder Woman is kicking off the end of her mythology-changing storyline while Storm is just getting started on hers!

SuperQueeros! for July 9th, 2014

Wendigo, Knightfall, Domino,... and Alex Wilder?! Yup, it's old friends returning (from the dead) this week in... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batgirl #33

Knightfall is getting all the criminals out of Gotham. So why is Batgirl trying to stop her? And will activists like Alysia be allowed to stay?

Avengers Undercover #7

Alex Wilder is back!!! Is this Nico's Achille's heel of EVIL?
 Lumberjanes #4

The girls continue their quest for answers!

The continuation of Hulkling and Prodigy's story!

Amazing X-Men #9

The crew goes to save Wolverine from the Wendigos!

X-Force #7

Domino joins the team!

SuperQueeros! for June 25th, 2014

We've got a wealth of titles this week! Beleaguered aunts, booby-trapped reporters, nefarious federal agents, boys standing in the face of temptation, impostor ninjas, young masters, and... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Ms. Marvel #5

Every week I look at the covers of the comics coming out this week and choose my favorite to lead the post. This week, though, the best cover is from my favorite non-'queero title. Look at that cover. Gorgeous. #kamalakorps

Rachel Rising #26

Dr. Siemen is activating a chip inside Aunt Johnny's head! What will it do?

A team member dies! Who are you hoping for?

Avengers Undercover #6

Death Locket has a mission... Kill Captain America!

SuperQueeros! for June 11th, 2014

Things seem to have quieted down in the land of superqueeroics these days. Luckily for us, three of our most recently queer-inclusive titles are out this week! Plus, the Young Avengers return! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Lumberjanes #3

Our girls hair-raising adventures continue, and I'm starting to track them now that I've read that Mal and Molly are more than mates! This month: how will our 'janes fare against the Genteel Boys Camp on Field Day!?

Original Sins #1
Hulkling, Prodigy, and Marvel Boy all get caught up in the tumult of Original Sin in this series penned by Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics and Adventure Time's comic book!

Batgirl #32

With Babs' personal life being monitored, how will Alysia help her roommate protect her vigilante identity?

Uncanny X-Men Special #1

It's a big crossover with Nova and Iron Man! What do you think Morph will look like when he takes on some Tony Stark?

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?

SuperQueeros! for November 20th, 2013

It's real life superqueero Marc Andreyko's first issue at the helm of Batwoman, Rachel Rising doesn't let death take their only self-identified 'queero, and it's Wiccan vs. Hulkling as Hulkling's ex tries to save Hulking from the spell he cast to save Hulkling! Because #comicbooks! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batwoman #25

It's the end of J.H. Williams III's last storyline, under the pen of Marc Andreyko. How will the Battle of the Bats turn out??? [Also, I know we all ADORED J.H. (talent like a supernova that one!) and we're all reading the work he's doing on the new Sandman, but anyone who read Manhunter knows that Andreyko is AWESOME. Plus, it's a queer writing an eponymous queer character! It took Wonder Woman more than 60 years to be penned by a woman; the switch in writer means that Kate Kane only took a tenth of that time! (Though this point would hold up better if Marc quick changed into a lesbian... Still, it's very exciting!)]

SuperQueeros! for October 23rd, 2013

Astonishing X-Men, J.H. Williams III's run on Batwoman, and now Supurbia: All the best books of the last three years seem to be coming to a conclusion this month!!! This week we wrap up the second volume of Grace Randolph and Russell Dauterman's amazing and innovative take on the superhero supergroup with Supurbia (Vol 2) #12. Plus a who cadre of more run-of-the-mill 'queeros!

Supurbia #12

The swan song of the tightest, most consistently mind-blowing book of 2013! 

• Hella is supremely powerful now, but also full-on Sith. Is she going to devour her neighbors like the Dark Phoenix at an all-you-can-eat solar system? 
• Ruth's robo-plot has been exposed, but her army's invasion plan is already in it's, possibly irreversible, end game! Is the Supurbia-verse about to go all Wildstorm: World's End? 
• Sovereign was broken by his defeat at the hands of his romantic rival, so how will he rally now that his amour is the arch? 
• It seems that Gio and Paul are back and more together than ever: Will we see a happy ending for this dysfunctional and perfect power couple??? 
• And, the real question on everyone's minds, will the ineffable Zari bring to bear her famous pluck and save the day, Cammi-style?

SuperQueeros! for September 25th, 2013

Finch, Daken, Billy, Teddy, Kevin, Clay, David Alleyne (STILL SQUEE)... It's a week of classic favorites for this round of... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Life with Archie #32

Kevin has made the jump and is now a character in BOTH alternate realities! While his new senate position is off to a rocky start in the Veroni-verse, he's using his position of power to help give old friend Cheryl Bloom a platform in the Betty-nuity. But what is Clay up to?

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!
