SuperQueeros! for May 27th, 2015

Hopefully you had a great Memorial Day Weekend and are stoked for a final chapter, an interactive issue, and the return of my favorite avenging boyfriends! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Secret Wars Journal #1

Introducing... 1602 versions of Hulkling and Wiccan! Oh, and Hawkeye, too. I wonder how the Elizabethan period is treating our two young 'queeros in love?

Convergence #8

It's the end of the universes' reboot! What new status quo awaits our heroes in the new New DC Universe?

Adventure Time #40

The solicit had all these mentions about Magic Man and this being a special, interactive one-shot issue. All I know is that the cover has my two favorite exes from Ooo, Marceline the Vampire Queen and Princess Bubblegum!

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!

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!

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?

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 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 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!

Read more »

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?

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 July 10th, 2013

DC's New 52 DOMINATED last week's SuperQueeros. Think the other companies can rally the troops this week? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batgirl #22

Now that Babs has decided to hang up her cape, maybe will get some page-time for Geeks Out's favorite new superqueero, Alysia Yeoh!

Supurbia #9

This is a jumping on point. So, what have you missed? Well,...

1. Hella climbed out of her hole of self-loathing to save Zari and Sara from becoming Evil Witches 2: The Next Generation, but he butt-head of an ex, Hector, only let her save one of them!
2. She picked Sara, the one least resistive to his corruption and also the Squib daughter of Batu (Think Wonder Woman + Barda). 
3. But with Hector's evil magic having reduced our Superman/Hyperion allegory (and Hella's current boo), to a sweaty, wonkily-powered mess, who can take out this Hell-adjacent ex and save Zari???
4. Also: Has Night Fox gotten back from whining and lounging at his parents' intergalactic estate? Isn't his boy toy, Agent Twilight, still being held captive by evil robots?? Oh, and speaking Robo-Ruth, this is all part of her master plan, right????

Avengers Arena #12

NICO ISN'T DEAD!!!! I guess that's one of the blessings of superqueero physics: it's main operating principle is drama. Anyway,  now that her corpse has been reanimated, it looks like Nico is powered-up and looking for some vengeance! Hopefully superqueero Bloodstone won't end up a casualty in her wake!

Fearless Defenders #6

Valkyrie is the evil Doom Maiden of Rage!!! In addition to vomiting blood, it looks like she's also going to be ending the life of one of the superheroes who showed up to help her stop the Doom Maidens. But will it be her love interest, Dr. Annabelle Riggs? And will this start an Orphean journey to retrieve her from Hela's kingdom? Oh, and can they pick up Howlett's bf while they're down there?

Astonishing X-men #64

Bobby Drake is SNOWMAGGEDON! With NYC and much of the Northern Hemisphere covered in snow, is this the dawn of a new Age of Apocalypse, or can Iceman's teammates and exes, including superqueeros Karma, Northstar, and Mystique, save Bobby from a fate worse than Angel's?

Young Avengers #7

Now that they're exiled from Earth until Wiccan's charm from issue #1 can be reversed, the YA are picking up where Noh-Varr (winner of the Capie for best new costume design) and Hawkeye left off: ridding the universe of Skrull thugs! But how will Hulkling feel about bagging boys whose race he shares, even if he's also half Kree? And, whatever way it is, will we get to see some cuteness from his Capie award-winning relationship?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #23

Willow and her friends are lagging behind the Siphon and his Slayer. Will they be able to stop him from reversing the course of time, or is the world destined to regain its magic and rewrite the last 22 issues? And what's Billy been getting up to back home?

Demon Knights #22

Vandal Savage has turned the giants to his side (of course...) and now he's on the attack! Will the Shining Knight and zher girlfriend Exoristos be able to protect the Grail????

Chew #35

I covered this issue on June 26th, but it definitely didn't come out digitally then. Check for it at you local comic book store this week, though!

SuperQueeros! for June 26th, 2013

It's a hummingbird! It's a Hot Wheels Plane! It's... No teaser this week! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

Morning Glories #28

Evidently this issue is going to be a double-sized conclusion to the first arc of the new season. That's two double size issues all at once! I wonder if that means that the trade will only be issues 27 and 28... ANYWAY IS THAT HISAO/JUN ON THE COVER WTF I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD! And, most importantly, is he gay like his twin?

Prophet #36

No mention of John Ka in the solicit, but it is getting pretty dramatic in the Prophet-verse!

FF #8

Everyone goes to rescue Bentley-23! Will Tong's gender identity help her save the day?

Chew #35

The hunt for the vampire continues! I don't think we had John or Mike last issue... fingers crossed! And also hidden far away from any chibopathic mouths!

Avengers Arena #11

Now that Mettle is totes dead and Finesse is outside of Chester's Mill, Hazmat and Reptil are evidently pairing up. Unless this is a bi triple involving Bloodstone, color me YAWN. Unless unless this is just build-up for killing off Reptil...

X-Men #2

John Sublime's sister is on the warpath, and Sublime himself is here to help the team take her down. But with his sister in control of Omega Sentinel, will the X-men survive long enough to decide if they can trust him? Oh, and will we see more of Bling!?????????

Teen Titans #21

Everyone knows Robin is bad! How does Bunker feel about one of his straight best friends being a totes baddie???

All New X-Men #13

The baby X-men take the fight to Mystique as they try to clear their names!

Justice League Dark #21

We find out how all the kids die! Including Xanadu? Isn't that exactly how her powers don't work?

Young Avengers #6

One of the best and queerest books around tackles Speed and Prodigy, the least interesting character and the most PERFECT (if he were queer) character, respectively. Wiccan and Hulkling might show up in this book, or it will be about the twenty-something experience at a desk job. So, basically, you can't go wrong with this one!

True Blood #14

More undead waitresses! Possible Lafayette?

SuperQueeros! for May 22nd, 2013

Two of my favorite books are out this week! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

Young Avengers #5

Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's masterpiece continues! From the preview it looks like the Loki who just betrayed our hipster heroes has caught a case of the "Tom Hiddlestons" and reverted to a movie-verse level of mischief-doing. The real question, though, is if the Bode-ghost of his more altruistic incarnation will be able to kick the butt of his former self and regain control of both his body and Wiccan's powers! Also, how is the currently powerless Wiccan faring against the tide of zombie-parents currently charging the rest of the Young Avengers?

Fearless Defenders #4.1

Backstory issue! We get the connection between the current storyline's villain, Caroline LeFay, and the more familiar Morgan. And it involves... Doctor Doom?? Hopefully we get to see some of Dr. Annabelle Riggs too, since it looks like it's going to be mostly Hippolyta-focused. Hey, maybe they were girlfriends! And got simultaneous amnesia! #comics

Teen Titans #20

The evil-Robin, Raven-introducing storyline continues!

Justice League Dark #20

Dr. Destiny has stolen the House of Mystery! Now it's up to Madame X and the JLD to get it back! But what parts will Swamp Thing and the Flash play?

True Blood #13

It's a hell of a day at Merlotte's when all the ex-employees show up at once! And by "ex" I mean "dead".

SuperQueeros! for April 24th, 2013

The return of a classic queer comic and the beginning of the next chapter in one of today's hottest queer-inclusive series. Plus, more Young Avengers!! It's a great week to be... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

A Distant Soil #39

I haven't ever read this series, but, according to it's Wikipedia page, it was one of the first comics to feature queer characters. Also according to Wikipedia, the debut of the series was with WaRP Graphics in 1983, its current run with Image started in 1996, and issue #38 came out in 2007, so it's been a long, sweet ride for this seminal comic. Looks like this is the week to see what the hype is all about!!!

Morning Glories #26

Season 2 starts here! Can Cassie save EVERYBODY?

Young Avengers #4

Hawkeye shows up and Marvel Boy's history gets "shamelessly ret-conned"!! (This series is AWESOME. Did you see that Miss America Chavez has two moms???)

Teen Titans #19

The solicit says that a Titan shows his/her true colors: looks like this terrible Red Robin story is shifting into high gear!

Justice League Dark #19

The Flash helps defend the House of Mystery!

Invincible #102

William probably won't be in this issue, but you never know!

True Blood #12

...and who KNOWS if Lafayette will be in this one!

SuperQueeros! for March 27th, 2013

Have you guys seen the MOOC on Gender Through Comics on comixology???? Its course materials are totes on sale now! I mean, you probs own 'em all already, but if you don't, CHECK IT OUT. Also, we've got some AMAZING books this week in... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!

Young Avengers #3

FIGHT SCENES. The team knows that there are weirdo putty monsters taking over the "adults" and they are starting to realize that they are a team. Kinda. So that means that everyone needs to be pushed onto the same side, which means: FIGHT SCENES. Also, if this book has "plentiful feels," as the solicit promises, does that mean that we'll get some Sterek???? (J/k! But if we don't get some hot Wiccling I'mma be huntin' that solicit writer DOWN.)

Morning Glories #25

It's the end of season 1 for this AWESOME, mind-eff of a comic! And it's 8:13!!!! (For readers of this book, I'm TOTES hoping that means that it will finally be 8:14 the next time Hunter looks at a clock...) Who will change sides? Who will die? And who will come back to life as an older, meaner Layla Miller???? #prediction

Life with Archie #28

Kevin's campaign for Senate continues, with 'Ronnie at the helm as campaign manager! but what happens when there aren't enough hours in the day and Fred Mirth is actively working to ruin each one of those 24 hours???

Astonishing X-men #60

X-Termination continues! Wolvie fights Weapon Omega (a.k.a. Apocalypse!Wolvie)! Here's hoping that Karma finds the time to get post-apocalypse'd into getting butt-kicking-er!

Teen Titans #18

So, as I'm sure we've all read, post"Death of the Family" Tim Drake is problematic and evil now, as is the writing in this book. Will Bunker's queerness protect him from being a victim of the weird and disingenuous approach to sexuality, or make him victim number three???? (Also, what with all the women throwing themselves at TD, is it too much to ask for him to hook up with EVERYONE he runs into? Cap'n Jack-esque? #Kon-el/Tim)

Justice League Dark #18

It's the conclusion of the "Death of Magic" storyline, and it promises to "shift the status quo" of the team. What with Constantine getting his own series, does this mean that team will see him leave and a new leader take his place? Fingers crossed for Madame Xanadu!

Hack/Slash #25

It's the conclusion of the "Final" finale (and the series)! Cassie fights Samhain to the DEATH!
