Archie #6

Now that Jughead came out as asexual in last week's Jughead #4, there's nary a comic in the New Archie-verse that isn't queer inclusive! Speaking of Jughead, you can catch him in issue #6 of Archie's comic as he continues to have a big fight with his best friend. :_(

Bitch Planet #7

And speaking of queer titles that flew under my radar, Kelly Sue DeConnick's excellently titled "Bitch Planet" sees the arrival of a new character on the women's prison planet.

Deadpool and Cable Split Second #3

Now that you've seen how the Deadpool cinematic saga begins, find out how this miniseries ends. If it's with Nathan and Wade locking lips, I will feel so vindicated for including them in this round up.

SuperQueeros! for January 20th, 2016

Both headliners and team players abound this week! There's a cornucopia of... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death #1

Ivy gets her own limited series and it starts this week! Aiming to use her green thumb for the good of science, Ivy plants herself into the Gotham Botanical Gardens' research division.

SuperQueeros! for December 9th, 2015

There's a ton of SuperQueero-inclusive comics this week, including a brand new comic about Victorian 'queeros, plus a holiday special that's piqued my interest. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

InSeXts #1

A woman scorned by her husband and society accepts a dark gift from her lady lover and uses it to exact her bloody, erotic revenge. The premise of this new title hits all the benchmarks for a good horror comic: It's simple, subversive, gratuitous, and awesome! Whether the book lives up to its solicits, however, is yours to discern.

Constantine The Hellblazer #7

As I learned on the podcast Journey Into Misery, Constantine was first introduced in the pages of Swamp Thing in the 1980s. Today Constantine is well into his third continuing series and Swamp Thing is swinging by for a guest appearance! The only question remaining is which of their classic character dynamics they will be repeating. Will they help each other discover more about their powers? Will they manipulate each other into losing touch with their remaining humanity? Who knows! Maybe they'll do that thing where they possess each other's bodies to conceive an anti-christ! #crazykids

Ultimates #2

How do you solve a problem like Maria Galactus? Ms. America Chavez and the Ultimates are here to find out! And by the end, like almost all his heralds before him, the giant purple devourer of worlds is going to be Marvel's newest superhero!

Catwoman #47

What is Catwoman without gang warfare and street politics? Selina has left behind her family business and is getting back to the trade that made her the leading lady she is today: (cat) burglary.

Rachel Rising #38

It's a team-up to take down Malus! Can Rachel and crew track down the demon that's making their lives a living hell, all puns intended?

Earth 2 Society #7

The Green Lantern takes on Doctor Impossible. But can a hero whose power is constrained by his creativity triumph over a villain whose abilities are limited to the unimaginable?

Deadpool #3 and Uncanny Avengers #3

Deadpool brings in a heap of obscure guests in his solo title while on his team title he welcomes his former co-star, Cable! 

Hercules #2

Herc continues his quest to pound bad beasties while looking as much like my Instagram feed as possible.

Queer-Adjacent Comic Spotlight:

Gwenpool Special #1 is out this week and it promises everything on your wishlist: She-Hulk, Hawkeyes, Ms. Marvel, and the character that you never knew you needed until today, the merc with a penchant for reinventing legacy characters, Gwenpool!

SuperQueeros! for November 18th, 2015

There are a lot of awesome, queer-inclusive titles out this week, so let's get to the listicle! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

SuperQueeros! for July 15th, 2015

Lockheed is tomorrow's kaiju today, Rachel finally meets her death, a Lumberjane chooses sides, and we get another chance to see Ms. America Chavez in Battleworld. Plus: Catman! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Years of Future Past #3
As shown in the AMAZING cover, Lockheed distracts the Sentinels while Mystique and the X-Men flee. But when they find shelter in the ruins of Coney Island, they also uncover some dark secrets...


Rachel Rising #35
It's been thirty-five issues and now it's time: Rachel is about to meet Ma Malai, the angel of death. Will she survive the experience (again)?

Lumberjanes #16 
Jen must choose a side! Will it be Rosie? Or Abigail?

Secret Six #4
Remember in 2011 when you watched that first episode of Suburgatory and you were like, "How can cynical city-girl Tessa survive in the cut-throat wilds of suburbia?! How can Ryan Shay be allowed to wear a shirt ever? And how many episodes do I have to wait before Ryan experiments with a boy?" Well Secret Six is basically exactly like that, except that Tessa is five of the most fabulous supervillains in the DCU and Ryan is played by the canonically bisexual Catman! Plus, someone hid all his shirts!

Siege #1

Abigail Brand rules the Shield, the only thing keeping Doom's Battleworld from certain Doom Apocalypse destruction! And since the Shield is the last place we saw Ms. America Chavez, that means that we get to see the fate of A-Force's most awesome former member! (Hint: Her fate is conscription.)

Book of Death #1

Valiant starts its latest crossover this week, so there's a chance that we'll get to see Kris from the Harbinger Renegades!

Harley Quinn #18

The Gang of Harleys tangles with Captain Strong!

SuperQueeros! for June 10th, 2015

While you wait for the weekend, why not check out some of these... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Earth 2 Society #1

Convergence is done, which means a new Earth 2, a new Society for Justice, and new COSTUMES!

Rachel Rising #34

What's worse than a serial killing 14 year old? One that's gunning for you! Rachel's captors are sure in for a sharp surprise if Zoe has her way...

Harley Quinn #17 and New Suicide Squad #9

A gang of Harleys hits the pages of her solo title, while in her gang's book, Harley leads the charge against some rogue assassins!

The exes get back to Ooo and take back their queendoms!

The outbreak's origin continues this month. How did the adults of Riverdale get us into this mess?

The moment you've been waiting for: Maps meets Damien.

SuperQueeros! for March 11th, 2015

A teenage girl, an evil planet, a golden model Earth... death is coming from the oddest places this week in the lives of our... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Rachel Rising #32

A copycat killer has wandered into the sights of Rachel and her team. Meanwhile, intrepid serial killer Zoe sets her sights on a sexual predator. 

Earth 2: World's End #23

The world is DOOMED! Or, at least that's my prediction with all these Convergence solicits floating around... That and the fact that the Earth is getting totally eaten by Apokolips. That's also pretty damning.

New Suicide Squad #8

With Harley about to be crushed by the Daily Planet, will the team be able to keep its roster from shrinking even further? Well, the solicit says that there is about to be a superhuman revolt, so it seems like a good time and a great place to find some new recruits!

Wolverines #10

Man, it sure stank that Daken had a new arm and eye for, like, one beer before Fang took it all away again! And Mystique's plan has sure been put on hold while Fang plays with the Wolvies. Speaking of, Fang and newly-good Sabretooth go off to have some character developing adventures this issue. Meanwhile, Ogun and Sharp square off for control of their shared body! Plus, Fantomelle and Culpepper's continue their adventures in thieving.

SuperQueeros! for December 10, 2014

Is it Ragnarok-ing outside? Rachel Rising + Afterlife with Archie bring the zombies, Darkseid lands on Earth 2, and Batgirl wears sequins. But what do these plagues portend? Oh, Rachel Grey is visiting the Shi'ar empire? Yeah, that explains it. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Rachel Rising #30

Rachel confronts her killer this issue! Whoever writes the solicits for this series needs to be consulted though. They tease that she might not make it out alive. Spoilers, dude: She already didn't. #zombienarratives

Afterlife with Archie #7

Speaking of zombie heroines, things aren't looking too good for Betty. This issue starts the series' second story arc: "Betty, RIP". Fingers crossed, Ms. Cooper!

Batgirl #37

Batgirl has an impersonator! But... why?

Earth 2: Worlds End #10

DARKSEID!

The October Faction #3

The kids hatch a plot to get their dad off the sofa and back into the monster hunting biz!

Amazing X-Men #14

Mystique and her son have one of their famous heart-to-hearts.

X-Force #13

Meme was Hope the whole time?! Please let this cover be deceiving!

X-Men #22

It's the last issue in the space arc. Will Rachel genocide the species who murdered her family (excluding her time-displaced mother and siblings)? Will the Shi'ar realize that preemptive murder to prevent your own extinction is actually a self-fulfilling prophecy?

SuperQueeros! For October 29th, 2014

It's Halloween once more! I better see some of you dressed as the God of War, Diana, this year! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Wonder Woman #35

It had to come to an end eventually. That's right, it's the grand finale of Brian Azzarello's character-defining run on Wonder Woman wraps up this week. Diana is all set to defeat her older half-brother while her little Togepi kid is revving up to fulfill his prophecy. But what of the "surprises" the spicier speaks of? And what status quo will we be left with when this issue closes? Who will it be on the throne of Olympus?

Rachel Rising #29

Next month Rachel finds out her killer. This month, though, she has to deal with a cult. Wacky!

Harbinger Omegas #3

Toyo and Peter go head to head!

Saga #24

Alana's descent into drug-fueled acting continues! Plus "The Brand"! And "Sweet Boy"!

SuperQueeros! for September 24th, 2014

It's good-bye to the Lumberjanes (for now), and hello to the most awesome Chew team-up ever! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Lumberjanes #6

It's the last issue of this hit series! Now that the team is fully formed, will they be able to solve the mystery by returning to the scene of the crime? And will Molly and Mal admit their feelings?

Rachel Rising #28

Rachel tries her hand at some magic of her own...

Chew #43

Olive, Poyo, and Colby. Need we see more? No, we don't.

Amazing X-Men #11

Northstar's old and new teams collide in the Spirit Realm!


Harbinger Omega #2
Kris and the rest of the team are in the sights of Harada. Can they make it through a miniseries subtitled "Omega"?

SuperQueeros! for August 6th, 2014

Now that the collective comic-verse has some mainstay superqueeros, they keep showing up in ensemble titles, like Batman Eternal or Archie. As a result, it's a full week for SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Rachel Rising #27

Rachel is closing in on her killer, but things may get a little hectic when someone thinks they're close to getting their secret outed. Their deep, dark secret...

Batman Eternal #18

Batwoman, accompanied by Jason Todd and Batman, is on the scene to help save James Gordon!

Earth 2 #26

Just when Val-Zod and Green Lantern could use a hand in defeating Kal-El, a Boom Tube opens to reveal... Power Girl!

Harbinger Omegas #1

The post-Harada-calypse Valiant-verse is under the microscope in this miniseries, especially as it relates to the lives of the surviving Renegades, like superqueero Kris.

Archie #658

Kevin Keller is part of the main cast now, so I imagine he'll be showing up to help Betty turn the tables on Archie's end-of-summer dating spree.

She-Hulk #7

The Blue Folio investigation continues! This time, with Pym particles! (And another amaze-balls Kevin Wada cover!)

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?

Saga #20

Our narrator's parents careen towards divorce!

Chew #42

"Chicken Tenders" continues! And doesn't Tony look happy about it? And don't those cyborg animals look happy about it? 

Original Sins #3

Hulkling and Prodigy continue to bound toward dark, dark secrets!

X-Force #6

A team member dies! Who are you hoping for?

Avengers Undercover #6

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

SuperQueeros! for April 30th, 2014

Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday, so to celebrate we get Batwoman's first annual! Awww! Plus, Aunt Johnny and Rachel rebuild in Lilith's wake and more for this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batwoman Annual #1

Looks like the annual is going to clean up that DEO loose thread from J.H. Williams III. How will Batwoman be able to wriggle free from the boney grasp of Mr. Bones?

Rachel Rising #25

Now that Lilith is gone, how will Rachel and Aunt Johnny enjoy their new un-life?

Batgirl Annual #2

Batgirl vs. Poison Ivy!!!

X-Force #4

Psylocke and X-Force take on France's black ops team! Me thinks there will be some mutants on the roster...

SuperQueeros! for April 2nd, 2014

Beginnings and endings: Stormwatch gives us back the old team in their last issue, Green Lantern returns to Earth 2, and Rachel Rising comes to end... but also a beginning? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Stormwatch #30

Stormwatch has broken the reality-warping spell that they've been under, and the solicit promises that they will have a new role in the DCnU as of this issue! I wonder what it will be, and if we will get back any of old Stormwatch's unresolved plot threads?

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 9th, 2013

I declare this week the week of amazing covers! Take a look inside to see the duds sported by this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Astonishing X-Men #68

The end of an era!!!! Liu bids adieu to her seminal line-up (a veritable rainbow-squad of X-men!) in this, the final issue of Astonishing X-Men! But with X-Factor ending on hints of a reboot, can we hope that Northstar, Kyle, Karma, and Liu will get the same treatment and be teaming up again soon under a new #1??? We can only wish (loudly and with our wallets)!!!

Afterlife with Archie #1

Oh my gosh, I am so excited for this! I'm not sure if Kevin Keller will be included (They'd be fools not to! FOOLS!), but "Riverdale meets Walking Dead"is the most brilliant thing since Kevin met Clay! Fingers crossed that the follow through is as wicked-cool as the premise!

Read more »

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?
