SuperQueeros! for July 15th, 2010

Wildcats #25
Last issue Zealot and Midnighter decided to throw down over Zealot's morally problematic baby-factory. This issue? PAYOFF. Of course, according to the solicit, it doesn't look like we'll settle the issue of who would win the fight because the fighting will probably stop when someone"gets caught in the crossfire". Hopefully that only happens after ten pages of @$$-kicking action, though!

X-Men: Hellbound #3
The conclusion of the most gay-friendly X-men storyline I've ever read! The conflicts have been set up: evil-ized Dazzler, Northstar, & Gambit vs not-evilized Cannonball & Anole, and Magik vs Pixie and a Demon. Things about to get CRAZY. I'm hoping that we find out more about Gambit's transformations, but that he still retains the ability to transform upon leaving Limbo, and that this issue will mark an end to Anole's asymmetry, either by his regrowing a twinkier, less awkward arm, or by his losing the left arm too. Also, I'd like a guest appearance by Dex-Starr, please?

The Authority: The Lost Year #10
This is where the end begins! The Authority have battled themselves across many multiple universes, but in this month's issue they come face to face with the most evil incarnations of themselves yet. You thought used car salesmen were bad? Well this Authority is an iron-willed fascist government, complete with internment camps and bad facial hair (I'm guessing)! Can Midnighter, Apollo, and the rest of the gang wrest power away from their crazy clones, or will we find out that the Authority we've been reading about in World's End is actually a bunch of inter-dimensional Nazi invaders???? Or maybe blah, blah, moral ambiguity, violence, character development, blah?

New Mutants #15
Remember Inferno? Yeah, I wasn't literate then either. But Zeb Wells does! (Or has a library card!) Because there's a platoon from Purgatory about to rain heck down on our recovering New Mutant heroes, and it ain't gonna be pretty! Though frequently side-tracked by the species-wide crossovers of the past six months, this is the storyline that New Mutants has been working toward. Why is Magik back? What alternate, horrible future is she trying to prevent? What nefarious purpose does Project Purgatory serve? What cool stuff will Karma's robot leg be able to do??? All this and more will be answered in these pages, people. All this, and MORE!

SuperQueeros! for June 9th

All the Queers in Comicdom, this week:

X-Men: Second Coming - Revelations: Hellbound #2 (of 3)
The gayest team of X-Men ever gathered continues on their quest to rescue the Limbo-lost Illyana Rasputin. But Gambit's mysterious dark side has been triggered by the demon dimension, and it does not look very friendly. Will Gambit save the team or smite them? Will Anole, or another X-man, lose another limb? And does Magik even NEED saving? The baddies haven't tied her up and, last I checked, she was a cruel and ruthless Darkchylde. This storyline is short, sweet, gay and PACKED with action. #GetIt

Secret Six #22
The end of the Catman revenge story! Watch half-naked boys and kick-ass lesbians knock the snot out of mercenaries, assassins, and other baddies that are badder (but not as bad-ass) as the band of bad guys we call the Secret Six. And thank Gail Simone for making all your dreams come true.

The Rawhide Kid #1 (of 4)
Is it just me, or is the Rawhide Kid kind of a Mary Sue? Except without the dying part? That opening scene in the preview? Whatever the case, he's one the oldest, most high-profile gay characters out there. Pick up his book if you like cowboys, comedy, or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy: Rawhide Kid is a consummate marksman, a flippant vigilante, and definitely not "masc looking for same." (Can you tell I was on Grindr this weekend? [You can tell.])

Honorable Mention:
House of Mystery #26
I love this book, but the queer content has been NON-EXISTENT recently. I'll upgrade it on Wednesday if this month has some gay trolling. Edit: THERE IS CUTE GAY CONTENT. Only for a panel, but still. Finally some gay troll page time!

SuperQueeros! for May 5th, 2010: Addendum - Revelations; VERY IMPORTANT!!


A detail I did not know has come to my attention! X-Men: Second Coming - Revelations: Hellbound features a team with not only super diva Dazzler and hunk-a-dunks Gambit and Cannonball but also ANOLE and NORTHSTAR!!! (Evidently when you need to combat hell you send the staples of gay culture. Given the awesome-ness this kind of mission entails, I'm pretty okay with fighting flames with flamers.)

That's right, we are getting THREE ISSUES of Anole development and Northstar panel-time!!! So go, buy, and solicit the next two issues! This mini is going to ROCK.
