SuperQueeros! for May 7th, 2014

Ah, the afterglow of Free Comic Book Day! ... Okay, enough reminiscing. The world is a'turning and comics are a'churning! It's time to get MOAR SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

The Movement #12

The last issue! What an awesome and queer cast this book has: Rainmaker, Virtue, and Burden (Oh, yeah, he came out at the end of the last issue) are all SuperQueeros that have come alive in this title's short run. Hopefully these kids will survive to get recruited into some Suicide Squad or another. But for now, it's time to say good-bye. How will Gail choose to (consummately) say it?

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 March 5th, 2014

Ugh, look at that She-Hulk cover! I am in love! Also, this week we have a motley collection of some of the best... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Not sure if there are going to be any 'queeros in this issue, but that cover!

SuperQueeros! For February 5th, 2014

It's a week for expanding casts! Relatives and prospective members show up in Movement, former enemies join the fight in Stormwatch, another new old face graces in Earth 2, and Kamala Kahn debuts as Ms. Marvel! (That last one isn't a 'queero title, as far as I know.) It's an exciting time for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Movement #9

Batgirl guests and we meet Burden's brother!!! So, do you think he'll be human, or monstrous? And what can Batgirl, still under the impression that she murdered her brother, tell Burden about family conflict?

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 December 4th, 2013

It's the end of the year and the end of one of this year's most awesome books. Fearless Defenders, we hardly knew ya! Say goodbye to Dr. Riggs, Valkyrie, and Ren this week, and hello to all this week's usual... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Fearless Defenders #12

In this, the final issue of the unjustly cancelled Fearless Defenders, there's a new cosmically powered teammate, Caroline LeFey meets one of her parents, the Defenders make a stand against the Doom Maidens, AND we get some resolution to the whole Dr. Riggs/Valkyrie thing. That seems like a lot for a single issue of a comic book... Hopefully it won't be 32 pages of exposition like Infinity: The Hunt was last week!

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!

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 3rd, 2013

Happy Pride! Have you checked out the comixology.com spotlight on LGBT comics? I'm definitely checking out Lost Raven, the series about a poz Kazar-type! Otherwise the week is pretty light... Only two books popped up on my sensors as queer-inclusive. Surprisingly, they are BOTH from DC! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

 EDIT: THE MOVEMENT #3 is out today!!!!!!!! Did you see lat months awesome reveal of the most awesome bisexual weather weild-er the world has ever seen????????????

Earth 2 #14

Alan Scott - our gay Green Lantern - joins up with Doctor Fate and the Flash to take on Steppenwolf, the invader from Apokolips who killed Earth 2's prior trinity of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Bruce Wayne. But where is Hawkgirl in all this?

Stormwatch #22

Apollo and Lobo fight! Then Lobo joins Stormwatch! If that's the PREVIEW, what more could happen in this issue????

SuperQueeros! for June 5th, 2013

Now this is more like it! This week we have a bumper crop of books featuring... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

Fearless Defenders #5

Misty Knight hires some friggin' HEROES! Which ones? Regardez the cover, s'il vous plait. She hires THEM ALL. #doommaidenbrawl

Locke & Key: Omega #5

Dodge's shadow forces are on the move, Tyler's been shot, and seniors are dying at an alarmingly graphic rate. Will Dodge win, or can the Lockes pull out a victory at the last second?

 

X-Factor #257

Rictor and Shatterstar aren't gone, according to the character page! Who knows if they're still dead, though. What with Strong Guy being the new Lord of Hell, maybe they're the underground division of X-Factor Investigations... Oh, and Demon!Jamie is being held prisoner in Marrakesh.

Kevin Keller #9

Summer issue! Kevin (and the two rivals for boyfriend status on his Facebook page) in swimsuits!

Avengers Arena #10

Nico takes on Justin's Sentinel! What developments will we get for proto-gay Bloodstone?

Being responsible for the protection of peace and harmony in a whole quarter of a city is a daunting task, but the Movement is ready to face it head on. But will we be getting any character backstories this issue...?

Stormwatch #21

Now Stormwatch fights Lobo!

SuperQueeros! for May 1st, 2013

Revision to a retraction! Remember how Kid Briton called Anachronism and Bloodstone boyfriends before his untimely beheading? Well, it turns out he was only half being a homophobic jerk: Bloodstone is gay! So go pick up his coming out issue, Avengers Arena #8, and Tong's coming out issue of FF, #6, and then check out all the awesome comics coming out this week that feature... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

The Movement #1

Gail Simone's new Occupy-inspired comic starts this week, and Gail has said on Twitter that there will be an LGBTQ character! Intriguing and exciting!

X-Factor #255

"Hell on Earth War" concludes and someone "unexpected" will be sitting on the throne of hell. I would least expect Rictor, but given M's recent diagnosis, maybe X-Factor's invincible bad-as will choose to ascend to godhood rather than slump off this mortal coil?

Chew #35

Chu continues to go after his sister's vampiric killer, while Applebee and his new ally, Colby, set up the next phase in his game.

Fashion Beast #9

The penultimate issue! With the power structure shifting around her, where will Doll emerge?

All New X-men #11

Angel goes AWOL, Jean goes Omega-level, and maybe we'll get some advancement of Mystique's plotting?

Ultimate Comics X-men #26

Colossus gets a mention by Storm in the first few pages; does this mean he'll be showing up this issue?
