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 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 February 4th, 2015

Top billing this week goes to Earth 2 for bringing Green Lantern's boyfriend back from the dead. Plus find out this week's other... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today! 

Earth 2 #31 and Earth 2 World's End #18

Now that Green Lantern has been reunited with his formerly dead, newly empowered boyfriend, it's time for him to DIE (again)! Can Sam save his avatar of the Green?

Saga #25
This issue says that "almost the whole cast is back!" I'm not sure what that means, but maybe it will mean superqueeros!

Wolverines #5
With the Amazing X-Men guest starring in this issue, this is basically the most queer comic on the stands!

SuperQueeros! for January 21st, 2014

Evidently the third week of the month is now SuperQueero Wednesday! See who turned up in... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 10 #11

It's sexy romance time as the Slayerettes take a break from slaying for some Valentines-y romance! Even Tiny Giles gets in on the rekindling, though his ex-amour is more astonished than aroused...

Lumberjanes #10

The gang's all back, and raring for action!

Batwoman #38

Kate continues to gather the Unknowns!

Batman Eternal #42

Last issue Harper Row FINALLY suited up to save her brother Cullen. This issue she gets the cover, and hopefully we get some Cullen.

Earth 2: World's End #16

The avatars begin their assault!

Teen Titans #6

After the in-fighting of the last issue, the team is united against a common enemy!

Wicked + Divine #7

Two new gods!

Wolverines #3

Meet Fantomelle, unmatched thief and the newest Wolverine!

SuperQueeros! for January 7th, 2015

Happy New Year! Now for some awesome new comics, including the debut of "WolverineS" and the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Wolverines #1

YES! A book with Daken, Mystique, and X-23 about lying and backstabbing! My comic book fairy godmother must have danced on down to Marvel this month, because this is my dream come true. Thank you for dying, Logan. Truly, thank you.

Earth 2 #30

Green Lantern and the other avatars of Earth 2 join forces to defend the planet from Apokolips. Note that World's End #14 also comes out this week, but I think it will have less/no Green Lantern.

X-Men #23

G. Willow Wilson (creator of Ms. Marvel) pens the new story arc!

And in the not-quite-queer corner, we get the debut of the UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL #1 and in Avengers: No More Bullying #1 the Avengers defeat bullying, which will be a feat for a squad whose idea of unity is assimilation. Here's my prediction of how that will go:

Havok: Kid, just stop being different. The world won't get better until we stop seeing difference.

Kid: But... I can't change the way tha--

Havok: Wah wah wah, what a crybaby! Sheesh!

SuperQueeros! for December 24th (and 31st!), 2014

Don't know what to spend those gift cards on? I have some suggestions, for both this week, and next! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 10 #10

Now that the Scoobies guard the book that can re-write reality, they are the busiest librarians in all the world!

Earth 2: World's End #12 and #13

This week: The Avatars of Earth vs. the Furies of Apokolips! next week: The Huntress dies?!

Avengers and X-Men: AXIS #9

It's the end of the storyline! I hope Mystique turns good! The power of Jennifer Lawrence's acting surely can accomplish that, no?

Death of Wolverine: Logan Legacy #7

Daken, Mystique, and the rest of the Wolvie crowd will set down Logan's legacy this issue. Right after they kill that vampire dude.

She-Hulk #11

The Blue File is finally closed: She-Hulk vs. Titania!

Uncanny X-Men #29

Everyone is in this cover! It's the pivotal will-reading issue!

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?

Read more »

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!

Read more »

SuperQueeros! for July 24th, 2013

I don't know about you, but I am totes excited for Uncanny Avenger's rebirth of a 'queero! Plus, the next issue of Young Avengers, Morning Glories, and more! Dang, it's a good week to be... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Uncanny Avengers #10

Look who's baaaack!!! Its Daken!!!! I wonder what his cool new Horseman of the Apocalypse powers will be? Think his pheromones are toxic now? Or his healing factor can turn into a spaceship? Maybe he has projectile claws!!! Anyway, Im pretty sure we won't be getting any assimilationist rhetoric from the son of Wolverine; hopefully everyone else will follow his lead too!

Young Avengers #8

With Prodigy now in tow, the team is ready for their dimension-hopping escapades to begin! The solicit says the "Journey into Mystery fans are going to squee their tiny heads off. I wonder what that could mean for the team's first blunder across space-time barriers?

Morning Glories #29

Now that Casey is back/dead, it's time for a NEW ASSIGNMENT! What is the status quo this season???

A Distant Soil #41

Bringing new (ish) meaning to the word "flamer", this queer-positive book is entering a new chapter. Now that the hierarchy is defeated, the good guys have to navigate a world of factional conflicts. #justlikeSyria :(

Justice League Dark #22

The JLD fights other Justice Leagues in the Trinity War!

Teen Titans #22

The teens fight Trigon in Manhattan!

Army of Darkness vs. Hack/Slash #1

Cassie and Ashley team up to take on the Deadite masses!

SuperQueeros! for November 21st, 2012

Did y'all see the list of top ten gay and lesbian characters/couples over at Newsarama? It's a celebration of Shining Knight, the intersex, ass-kicking Demon Knight I mentioned in last week's SuperQueeros! (Newsarama calls Shining Knight transgender, but unless you count Bornstein-ing your way past the concept of gender as transgender, I think S.K. came out as pansexed and pangendered.) Give it a flip through and see if you learn about any new superqueeros! I know it clued me in to Danielle Baptiste's queer identity as a (or possibly "the only") 'queero at Top Cow.

Speaking of 'queeros in the mainstream, we've got a TON of AWESOME books to read this week!

Supurbia #1

The best comic this year gets its own ongoing series! Night Fox and Agent Twilight return as a villain moves into the neighborhood and starts to court Night Fox's wife Alexis. Plus, we get to meet Supurbia's version of Lois Lane, the unceremoniously dumped Hayley Harper! And what exactly is keeping Batu's husband up late? Perhaps the creation of a Boomtube...?

Batwoman #14

Kate continues her crusade to kill Medusa with the help of Wonder Woman! Will zombie cowboy Pegasus help them out? Or is his head the one that "will role" as the preview at the end of the last issue foreshadowed? Also, why isn't Pegasus a flying horse????

Astonishing X-Men #56

From the cover it looks like Gambit is Iceman? I did not see that one coming... And if Bobby is the teammate who returns, why is there a question of if he is a friend or foe? And the solicit also mentions Kyle, so he might be in danger! Or a villain! Can Karma and Northstar pull a save out of this mounting disaster???

Husbands #5

Speaking of married super-couples, the second-to-last issue of Husbands is out this week! And it looks like this issue is going to be in the style of the Archie-verse!!!! ARGH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE INEVITABLE CUTE-BOMB!

X-Factor #247

More marrieds: Layla and Jaimie got hitched! And now everyone is going to Hell! Sheesh, first it was Hellblazer, then it was Demon Knights, and now X-Factor is going to Hell? 2012 is a popular year for that toasty destination!

Hellblazer #297

The last issue in The Curse of the Constantines! The three plot clues are "hungry ghosts, tainted fairies, and a mother's lively corpse". Intriguing...

Uncanny X-Force #34

This is the penultimate issue of this title! The will Evan become an evil Apocalypse? Or can he manage to thwart Daken's plans and save the team that's come to save/kill him? And now that AoA Nightcrawler has killed the man who ate his wife, AoA Blob, will he be able to survive the judgement of E.V.A.???

Wonder Woman #14

Wondie is trapped in a labyrinth with an angry cousin! Will she be able to survive the vengeance of The Desert Winds? Especially since she came to save her?

Justice League #14

Wonder Woman continues to help fight Cheetah and a new monster-Superman (who I am assuming is Bizarro)!

SuperQueeros! for November 7th, 2012

We have a president! Now that BHO is back for four more, it's time to get back to the real business at hand: comics! And I'm going to start this entry with a post-election confession.

Husbands #3 (and #2)

The confession is that I forgot Husbands #2 last week! Yup, it's a weekly, web-only series, so this week go out and buy two awesome, marriage-equality-themed masterpieces from Darkhorse.com!

Stormwatch #14

Midnighter is dead?! Apollo is going to be PISSED! Etrigan (the newest Stormwatch member?) is gonna have his hands full with the angry sun god, and the solicit says that an old member is returning. The Doctor or Rose Tattoo could solve Midnighter's little "death" problem, but I'm sorta really hoping for Jenny Sparks...

Avengers Academy #39

The last issue before Marvel Now! And with our two 'queeros, Striker and Lightspeed, missing from the next incarnation of this book, this issue will be the one canonizing their immediate fates!

Life with Archie #24

Kevin reconsiders re-enlisting after Clay's brush with mortality! A new, Riverdale-centric direction for our fav Archie couple starts here!

Uncanny X-Force #33

The team takes it's fight to Daken and Mystique's Brotherhood! Only three issues left before Marvel Now!

X-Factor #246

We finally see what the heck Pip the Troll does! And since it's a "behind-the-scenes" issue maybe we'll get to see RicStar being cute together!

Earth 2 #6

The fight against the Grey still continues on and on and on. And Evil Mr. Terrific sets his explosive plans into motion!

SuperQueeros! for October 3rd, 2012

Life with Archie #23

Last time we joined the future-flung Riverdale gang Kevin had decided to re-enlist, even though Clay had expressly requested that he not. But, in the midst of registering, word came from Riverdale: Clay had been shot when he tried to stop a robbery! Are we about to lose Clay, months after we met him? Is Kevin going to stay put now that his hubbie is in critical condition? And how will Riverdale react?

Stormwatch #13

Remember in the 0 issue when they said that Stormwatch is the current version of Demon Knights? Well, evidently, that means that "The Demon" is joining Stormwatch now that the Martian Manhunter is gone. From the cover it looks like Apollo and Midnighter are bringing The Demon in, so why does the solicit say that they're AWOL?

Avengers Academy #38
Flag football tourney between the Academy and the Jean Grey School! I'm not sure when this takes place chronologically, but hopefully we'll get some character development for Striker  and Lightspeed before they vanish from the book when Marvel NOW! starts.

Earth 2 #5
The New Trinity fights Grundy and (sort of) the Atom. Grundy fights the new Trinity and the Atom. The Green Lantern makes a world-changing choice? Hopefully it's to bring back his dead bf and not, "Hey, wanna hang at my clubhouse?" Otherwise this book is just... the most predictable set up of a superteam.

Uncanny X-Force #32

The last chapter of Final Exam! Will Daken and Mystique make it out alive? Will Evan?

SuperQueeros for September 12th, 2012

The SuperQueeros this week are mostly speculation on my part, so I'll arrange them in order of likelihood:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #13

This one is first because I 100% know that Kennedy will be in it. I love that the move to comics has really helped the queer-Buffyverse thrive, including bringing us a new gay male slayer next month! Now, while Billy isn't in this issue, a resolution to last month's CRAZY cliffhanger is! Will Buffy's demon pal really sell her out to Wolfram& Hart? Will Buffy and Kennedy be able to take out Facebook once and for all??? Will their client have any role in this story???

Honestly guys, I am loving this title right now. And I was never the biggest Kennedy fan, but she is so dang awesome in the comic book! Check it out.

Uncanny X-Force #31

Wolvie et al. are back in 616 and they're headed to rescue Evan. Will they arrive in time to stop Daken and Mystique's nefarious plans? Or are Evan's halcyon school days over for good?

Ultimate Comics X-Men #16

Nick Fury and the Howling Kittens are aiming to take down the Sentinels dividing America! What with  Kitty's team wading into the former prison camps, maybe we'll get a Colossus cameo! (I kind of doubt it since they have two more issues in the arc after this one, but the story is pretty rockin', so I continue to hold out hope!)

Demon Knights #0

This issue is an origin story that does not mention Madame Xanadu, but she OOOOOLD, so she might make an appearance.

SuperQueeros! for August 29th, 2012

Tomorrow is Dragon Con Eve, you guys! For Southeastern Gaymers like me, Dragon Con Eve is basically Christmas Eve if Christmas were a four day long gift to yourself and the theme were "The Young Avengers" instead of "Jesus". Oh, and in this analogy Aaron Ashmore is the stocking stuffer.

I. Am. DYING.

But, anyway, comics:

Angel and Faith #13

I am digging Willow sans Buffy! Their falling out was too... boring. And Willow's quest to get back magic is much more interesting than fake robot pregnancy. It's too bad this is the penultimate issue of the story... but maybe it will reinvigorate Will for the rest of Season 9! I know she gets some powers for next week's issue and that probably means that this week has a Willow-centric cliffhanger, so I am well chuffed!

Uncanny X-Force #30

I don't think Daken or Mystique were in last week's issue! This week focuses on the New Brotherhood trying to turn Baby-pocalypse evil, so hopefully they'll both rear their sexy, sexy heads.

Justice League #12

I still consider Wonder Woman queer. I mean, I'm queer and if my writer pitched the idea of my boyfriend being Superman do you think I would protest? Nope, no I would not. 

It's like I always say, "Just 'cause you're a friend of Sappho doesn't mean that's your whole sexual identity, and just because you're dating a Kryptonian dude doesn't mean you didn't love your last Thymesciranese girlfriend."

But I am hoping that it doesn't last, if only because "Dark" and "Cliana" are both ridiculous.

AND NOW FOR SOME QUEER ADJACENT TITLES:

True Blood #4

This issue focuses on Alcide's backstory. Not the "back-" I'm interested in, Joe, but I know somepony out there is going to want to pick this issue up.

New Mutants #48

Technically Karma is in this issue because Doug re-lives her death scene in either a nightmare or a Necrosha-zombie rehash. Awesome. #notawesome

AND NOW I ABUSE MY POWER:

STEED AND PEEL #0

OH. EM. GEE. You guys, Steed and Peel is getting an on-going series!!!! If you don't understand how amazing this is, PLEASE go back and watch Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel in the British TV show The Avengers ("No relation." - Joss Whedon). It stands the test of time, and Rigg is SO kick-as. Plus, one of their stories, the one they are revisiting in this issue, was the genesis of Emma Frost and Marvel's Hellfire Club!!! (As some dude whose wit I am stealing once said, "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal." Chris Claremont definitely heard that!!!!)

Anyway, basically all of my dreams are coming true this week. Thank you, DragonCon-mas!

SuperQueeros! for August 15th, 2012

Wonder Woman strikes twice this week, Julie Power has no power (I blame the derecho [actually, that's a great code name...]), and maybe we'll meet back up with the boys from XFI! Plus Constantine, Karma, Daken, and Mystique!

EDIT 2!!! THERE ARE SO MANY SUPERQUEEROS THIS WEEK! Check out Batman #12 for the awesome adventures of Cullen Row and his amazing sister, Harper Row! It looks like Harper is lining up to be the next Oracle, but in a punk-Gaga-in-the-sewers kind of way!

EDIT!!! Kevin and Clay are in Life with Archie #22!!! Will the Archie comics cave to the new cliche of killing the queer of color????

Batwoman #12

J.H. Williams III is back on art!! Batwoman continues her crusade against the motley group of monsters she faced in the last 6 issues, but this time she's taking them on one at a time. First up is the disgusting and dangerous Bloody Mary who has holed herself up in, where else, an abandoned Hall of Mirrors! Which raises the question to me, who abandons a hall of mirrors? Shouldn't those have a significant salvage value????

PLUS, in order to fight this legendary urban legend, Batwoman enlists the help of a werebeast and the master of legends herself, Wonder Woman!!!!!!

X-Factor #242

Darwin is back! Rahne's baby is back! Strong Guy is a Bad Guy! Will we meet back up with the odd, odd threesome of Rahne, Rictor and Shatterstar? Fingers crossed, but either way Peter David is going to work his usual magic this week! #fanboi

Wonder Woman #12

Apollo has come for Zeus's throne, and Diana is the only thing standing in his way! But the solicit mentions something about Wondie needing to protect her closest friend? And Zola gives birth?! And it's not human?!?!?! (I mean, duh, it's a demigod, but the solicit says it's "not what we would expect." What does one expect a demigod to look like? I'm going to cross out "Zeus" and "Jamie Madrox" though, since those are too obvs)

Avengers Academy #35

Lightspeed has been depowered, Striker has been conscripted into EVIL, and Big Zero and the other Young Masters of Evil are being, well, also evil!! How are the kids going to save the world when half of them are normies and the other half are being controlled by a criminal mastermind??? None of my final exams were ever this hard! #TWHS

Uncanny X-Force #29

X-Force versus Daken, Mystique, and the New Brotherhood of Evil Mutants! If EVA is Fantomex's CNS, does that make her a lesbian?

New Mutants #47

KARMA CAMEO!! (If not more!) Everyone is coming back from the dead these days, and the original Hellions are no exception (twice)! Hopefully Shan and Sam will stick around for more than just dinner though!

Hellblazer #294

Seance with a dead sister, another nephew-committed murder, and the family cult? "Curse of the Constantines" marches on!

SuperQueeros! for July 25th, 2012

Two of my favorite queer characters showed up again last month!!!! Willow and Daken are rocking new books and, with only one back issue to pick-up, we should all go check them out!

Angel & Faith #12

Willow's teaming up with the Angel-verse (Faith, Angel, and Connor) to go to a hell (Quor-Toth) to try and bring back magic! Meanwhile, it looks like Giles' nieces are going to have to take care of some unwanted vampire thieves before they can get back to their TOWIE marathon.

Uncanny X-Force #28
Last issue the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants revealed itself: AoA Blob, Sabretooth, The Shadow King, Skinless Man (uhh... gross), the Omega Gang (Omega Red + buddies????), Genesis (but I wanted Good-pocalypse!), and... MYSTIQUE WITH DAKEN AS THE LEADER!!!!! OMG,  this book just got amazing-er!!!!!!!!!!! Except that they killed Gateway, which is the crap-est thing anyone has ever done. #racialprofiling

Astonishing X-Men #52 
The honeymoon has to be put on hold! Last month Kyle and Jean-Paul were the first gay superheroes to tie the knot (on page -- unless we ever saw Apollo and Midnighter's nuptials? In which case I NEED THAT ISSUE!), but this month it's time to get back to the crisis at hand and find out who's making Karma crazy so we can help her kick its butt! And maybe her kick-as leg will kick some as too! (Also, has anyone noticed how often Karma just disappears only to get her brain taken over by evil psychics? You would think people would have started wondering if she were okay when she wandered off, rather than waiting until she crash landed back into their X-lives. Or maybe they should use her like a plot trouble detector to find evil psychics...)

Teen Titans #11
Wonder Girl's armor puts its plans into action and attacks the "teens"! (Come on, none of these people act or look like teens.)

True Blood #3
Vampires and stuff and Lafayette!

Justice League Dark #11
Yeah, I read last month's issue and I still don't understand the solicit. Evidently "secrets" are "revealed"? Yeah, riiiiight. Only if this is the last issue in the series! Duh!

SuperQueeros! for March 28th, 2012

Soooo... MY GOODNESS! This is a very exciting week! Seminal pansexual solo title ends, amazing queer-team story arc begins, a crossover means I'm mentioning a new DC title for the first time... And that's only half of the books below!

Astonishing X-Men #38

First, the good news: Karma and Northstar, on a team together, kicking butt on the streets of NYC: AWESOME. And with Marjorie Liu scribing? CRAZY AWESOME!!! Liu is so good that she even makes me like Gambit, so I am unable to detect any flaws in this book. Honestly, I have been looking forward to this book for three months, three looong months of being starved for a good Karma storyline, and BAM, it's finally here and my life is complete! It really does get better... #tear #buyit #robotleg

Daken: Dark Wolverine #23

Now the sad news: it's Daken's final issue! I really hope he gets swept up into a team title, because he is just... so awesome. And if he dies this issue... right after Stature bit the dust this month... I'm going to have to go down to Marvel and propose "AvX2: Stature and Daken Return!" until I'm blue in the face (or until I spew out a sell-able storyline and they say yes, which ever comes first). But honestly, I hope this issue rocks as hard as Stephanie Brown's last Batgirl issue.

Justice League Dark #7/I, Vampire #7

CROSSOVER TIME: As of I, Vamp #6 the DCnU has been over-run by crazy vampires, and this crossover flows directly out of that. Madame Xanadu knows this sh!t ain't right, but what she doesn't know is how to survive in the new status quo. Will her she be able to lead her team to victory, or is she going to have to consult with a certain heroic vampire to right the world? (It's definitely the latter you guys. #spoilers)

Teen Titans #7

It's The Wall (and the Teen Titans) against N.O.W.H.E.R.E.! They have a super-boy to break out of the top secret, evil, child-altering organization and they're going to need all their psychic bricks to do it! (I would also like to take a moment to look at the Wall's powers: mind-powered strength. It's like the classic girl-power inside, classic boy-power outside. #subtle #butIlikeit)

New Avengers Vol 2 #23

This book is here for Victoria Hand, but I have noooo idea what's up with her these days. Evidently one of the Dark Avengers is going to turn good? My money is on the Hulk's kid.

Archie #631

And finally, what with the recent events regarding the Trayvon Martin case and the excellent point put forth in this Huffington Post article, I'm adding this comic to the list of recommendations. It doesn't have any queer content that I know about, but its focus is on legitimizing an few interracial relationships, and I think the world could use a good message like that right about now.

Plus, Dan Parent is my master. (Sorry, Joss.)

SuperQueeros! for March 14th, 2012

Ultimate Colossus is back!!!! I'm hoping this is going to be an all new Children's Crusade, with a kiss between Colossus and Northstar at the end! CUUUUTE!!

Ultimate Comics X-Men #9

After catching us up with the Ultimate X team last issue, Ultimate Comics X-Men takes us to Camp Angel, the concentration camp that houses Storm and every gay's boyfriend, Colossus! From the cover I'm guessing "prison break" is the theme of the issue, and I am so there!

Batwoman #7

The gyre winds deeper as our heroine faces down a pack of monsters led by "Falchion". Plus, the rest of the awesome cast of this book get screwed more too! Plus, check out Amy Reeder's art on interiors: she's killin' it!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9: Freefall #7

Abortion. Crap. BtVS is defo bringing the realness in this season, which for me is a welcome change from last season's Michael-Bay-spolsion. Plus her roommates become a lil more relevant!

Daken: Dark Wolverine #22

The second to last issue! It's father vs son as Daken takes his fight to NYC and Wolverine. With a death sentence hanging above him will Daken leave a lasting mark on the Marvel U? Or will his sound and fury signify nuthin', bub?
