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! 

She-Hulk #2

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?

Read more »

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 October 2nd, 2013

Welcome to October! Villains Month is over, so we finally get to see someone of our DC favs again this week! Plus, the end of Mara!!! And maybe the re-beginning of Zoe in Morning Glories??? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Read more »

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!

Earth 2 #15
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 April 3rd, 2013

The theme this week is jumping between dimensions or across the universe. That is, it's just another Wednesday in the office for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!

Age of Apocalypse #14

X-termination continues in this, the final issue of Age of Apocalypse! I kind of love that Northstar, Howlett, and Herc are all on one team with Wolverine. With that character dynamic in play I'm hoping that they'll stop all the "smash and slash" long enough to have some squee sexuality moments!

Earth 2 #11

This is the best cover of the week, IMO. The solicit says that ANOTHER new character (SPOILERS) is going to show up, so the chances of some Green Lantern development seem slim... I am hoping, though, that Sam's death being a conspiracy leads to some sort of rebirth for the dead dude!

All New X-Men #10

Mystique and Sabretooth continue to plot! The Uncanny X-Men show up at the school to recruit some older students. It would be nice to see some more of the students... Maybe Anole will get some page time? 

Archie #642

Archie Meets Glee Part 2! I wasn't sure how I would feel about this crossover, but Dilton's analysis of the parallels of Archie and Glee were nerd-tastic, Veronica getting slushied was sweet, sweet karma, and the prospect of Rachel and Archie in a Battle of the Bands against Josie and the Pussycats???? I'm pretty sure that moments like that is why I started reading comics. But what about Kevin and Blaine?????????

Fashion Beast #8

"...no one can anticipate the fate of Celestine from inside his citadel of fashion." Aaaaaaand my job is done here!

Locke and Key: Omega #4

The battle gets taken underground as the prom takes a nasty(er) turn and Dodge's plan starts to come to fruition.

Stormwatch #19

So I guess Apollo and Midnighter are getting Voyager'd across space so they can crossover with Lobo and have space-adventures getting home? This sounds a lot like when Kurt moved to New York, except that Lobo is way less cute than Dean Geyer...

SuperQueeros! for March 6th, 2013

First off, a PA: Avengers Arena has British boyfriends! Yup, Anachronism and Bloodstone appear to be dating! Not sure if they're still alive though... Also, Image's Prophet has a genderqueer character in John Ka! Now, back to this week's regularly scheduled, super-sized... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!

Earth 2 #10

It's the heyday of the genderqueer as Wotan (originally a woman who Anya'd out, becoming a super-awesome magic-user to overcome her oppression by the patriarchy [Note: trigger warning if you look up what that oppression was], Wotan has switched bodies in order to extend zir lifetime and is now in the body of a man) faces off against Dr. Fate! Maybe later Wotan can join these Earth 2 Scoobies like zir Buffy-verse parallel! #fingerscrossed

Fashion Beast #7

Speaking of queering gender and coming out on top, Doll is a star!! Unfortunately, now things are going to start unraveling for this 'Queero!

Mara #3

Super-powered volleyball star Mara is coming out, this time as a metahuman! Now someone just needs to tell her that with great power comes great responsibility, most importantly the responsibility of staying alive once you catch the attention of the wrong people!

Stormwatch #18

Zealot joins Apollo and Midnighter to form the new Stormwatch!!! This book is a fanfic come true!!!!!!

Archie Meets Glee, Part 1

Oh my gosh... I am SO buying this JUST so I can see Kevin meet Kurt (Klaine could mean something VERY different by the time this miniseries ends! Oh, maybe Kevin is the real Eli!), but whoever paralleled Quinn with Betty and Rachel with Veronica CLEARLY only sees the world through hair colors! 

Fairest #13

The last issue for the queer Fable, Rapunzel! (Note that the depiction of Rapunzel's sexuality has not gotten the ravest reviews in the comments.)

True Blood #10

A one-off with Alcide!

SuperQueeros! for February 6th, 2013

New month, new search-term heavy standard opener! Oh, and there are seven awesome, queer-inclusive titles out this week, so read on to get the 411 on this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!

Fashion Beast #6

Oh, hey, did you guys know that Alan Moore wasn't just publishing a queers-versus-Harry Potter literary mash-up these days* but was also giving us an 80's-tastic, cross-dressing Beauty and the Beast/Christian Dior mash-up (source)? Unfortunately (at least for me) I haven't been able to find it digitally... But hey, be my superqueero and give me a shout if you pick it up IRL! Or better yet, if you see it in your virtual(ly local) comic book shop! 

*(see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume III: Century)

EDIT: Fearless Defenders #1 came out this week, and so did its dreamy archeologist Dr. Annabelle Riggs! But does anyone know if her crush on Valkyrie will be requited? Or if I can yenta her into going out with Karma?
Kevin Keller #7

Does our hapless-in-love Kevin K have a boo?! That's what Ronnie concludes in this issue of the ever-adorbs hit series about "Archie's Pal" and Riverdale's resident 'queero! (Seriously, "Archie's Pal"? Do all Archie-verse covers have to have sexual undertones???) 

#notcomplaining

Stormwatch #17

Is everyone frakkin' dead?! Apollo and Midnighter were jettisoned into the Bleed, this is the Carrier's final issue, and what happened to Jenny Quantum and Hawksmoor??? Or, yeah, and Angie is evil?!?!!? What the Funion????!?

All New X-Men #7

Mystique is back!!!!!!!!! And this time she's feeling up on the nubile Mr. Summers! #livingthedream

X-Factor #251

So, Wolfsbane is back with her son! But Evil Strong Guy and Jezebel teleported everyone to fight six overlords of Hell... But M and Darwin (also back) were left behind in the rubble of the XFI building! I... have absolutely no idea where this story is going, but I can guarantee on thing: M is pissed, and someone's going to pay. #modusoperandi 

Earth 2 #9

Dr. Fate! A whole spate of new characters! I'm still waiting for them to better develop the ones they have/bring back Sam!!

Fairest #12

Rapunzel's past misdeeds come back to haunt her! Look at that cover! That looks pretty haunt-y!

SuperQueeros! for January 9th, 2013

Um, PAY DIRT, you guys! I've got SEVEN queer-inclusive titles, plus two possibles! To paraphrase Macklemore, "Peep game, come take a look through my Geek' Out post/Tryin' get gays from a comic? Got the hella most!"

Supurbia #3

That's right. It's game time. Agent Twilight is coming out and nothings going to stop him, especially his beau's insecurities! Plus all the kids are in danger, Tia wants to head back to work (Justice-League-ing, that is) and Hella might be headed back to prison! This book is TOTES. PERF.

Artifacts #24

Dani Baptiste may not be the Angelus anymore, but that sure isn't stopping her from getting it on with the artifact's new, hot-as bearer, Finch! This one's for the ladies!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 9: Freefall #17

Illyria has whisked the Buff-ster away to another dimension! Unfortunately for the Scoobies, they are all either fighting or virtual strangers to each other! How will the newest version of the classic ground team survive a zom-pocalypse with no Slayer??? And will Illyria be joining the dysfunctional roster?????

Stormwatch #16

EVERYONE CONTINUES TO BEAT UP MIDNIGHTER! One character "changes irrevocably!" My bet is on the Engineer, but maybs its Jenny Q turning 13! Oh, gosh... I just terrified myself with that thought...

Fairest #11

Rapunzel continues to kick butt!

Earth 2 #8

Steppenwolf spared one Amazon! And she looks EVIL! Could this be Donna Troy???????????????

Hack/Slash #22

Vs. an ARMY OF FINAL GIRLS!

The Phantom Stranger #4

JLD guests in this issue; maybe Madame X is among them!

True Blood #8

Werewolf story continues; no idea if Lafayette is in this book.

SuperQueeros! for December 5th, 2012

I'm a little under the weather, so this is gonna be a short rundown, but I have a couple of new titles this week!

Buffy the Vampier Slayer: Willow - Wonderland #2

How did I miss this series starting?! This is the answer to all my Season 9 prayers and dreams! Willow is on an inter-dimensional quest to restore magic to the Buffyverse, but it won't be easy, especially since Marrak, her Doctor-esque companion, is more interested in becoming her Master-esque companion, if you catch my drift. #DarkWillow

Fairest #10

Evidently Rapunzel has a relationship with a female kitsune in this series. FINALLY a queer fables character!!!!

Kevin Keller #6

George Takei guest stars!!!!!!!!!!!! Kevin writes an article about how Takei's API and queer advocacy has inspired him, so G.T. decides to pay a visit to Riverdale! #fangasm

Before Watchmen: Minutemen #5

"Why is mommy crying, Uncle Hollis?" This is going to be a heavy issue. And potentially the best one out of this prequel business.

Earth 2 #7

Hawkgirl's backstory! And Mr. T. joins the cast! (Mister Terrific, that is)

Stormwatch #15

Midnighter vs Stormwatch! The Prince of Lies has set up the team to take out their most popular asset. Will the slowly de-humanizing Engineer lead her team to commit murder most heinous? And what position is Apollo taking???? #TWHS

X-Factor #248

Death has come for Pip! Can M be bothered to save him? Would I?

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 5th, 2012

It's Zero Hour, folks! Yes, one year after the launch of the new 52 each title is getting an issue #0 origin issue! Not sure why DC wants to do this, other than providing the opportunity to tie up some plot holes and ret-con some of their newly minted cannons for this year's Trinity War, but at least the covers look cool!

X-Factor #234

The "Five Days That Change X-Factor" is on Day 3. Strong Guy is now Bad Guy, Darwin is a demon hunter, and Rahne is single-mom-ing it up with her pup. But that's not enough! No, the destruction of X-Factor continues this week when someone goes crazy! It's no surprise that, given that her BF is featured heavily in the post-AvX universe, the comics gods have chosen Polaris for this not-at-all-cliche fate. After all, how else could they unencumber Havok? A long distance relationship with a non-traditional, complex, and flawed set of rules permitting sexual tension with new teammates but requiring angsty, angsty monogamy? 

BWAHAHAHA, be serious! Making your ex insane is much easier!

But enough of my tomfoolery! It looks like Lorna is going to find out who her real mom is and tumble into some sort of "Lovecraftian" insanity. So she's the daughter of Magneto and Cthulu? 

Suddenly I'm more okay with this story.

Stormwatch #0

See the stuff that Stormwatch did before we joined their narrative! Since issue #1 dealt with Midnighter and Apollo's recruitment I'm not sure if we will have any sort of queer characters at all, but they are gracing the cover, so I will allow for the possibility of an appearance!

Avengers Academy #36

Striker: disfigured and undone! Hazmat: irreparably toxic! Mettle: right back to the feeling-less shell he was two months ago! And everyone else is powerless! Things do not appear to be going well, which can only mean one thing: they're about to get worse!!

Issue of Note:

The new Green Lantern is showing up in Green Lantern #0 this week!

SuperQueeros! for August 1st, 2012

And just to match last week's week of beginnings (Shout out to the schoolies!), this week is a week of good-byes: to a great series that I was JUST getting into, to all the DCnU books, to the queerest Academy ever to grace the pages of comics, and to Strong Guy's "good guy" image. See for yourself:

i, Zombie #28

The final issue!!! (Great cover too!) I guess it's true what they say, you can't face an elder god without losing either your mind or your continuing series. That's what's happening with Gwen: The soul-sucking, Innsmouth-generating space-Cthulu (Xitalu for short) that's menacing the planet has arrived and started chowing down on Earthlings. Luckily, Gwen has a plan. Unluckily, it involves filling herself up with so many (living) souls that she is essentially a Giant Gulp of spirits (last Friday night), then feeding herself to the space monster so that it will take a nap (food coma!). Unfortunately for the plan, however, her friends and family's penchant for sticking together in times of trouble has landed all of them in Giant Gulp ground-zero. Is saving the world worth it if you have to kill everyone you love to do it? And, more importantly, will the were-terrier get the guy before it's too late to ride off into the sunset (of existence)???

Avengers Academy #34

Thanks to AvX the Academy is closing down and, for the next four months, the kids have to decide if they're going to follow Veil to Jeremy Briggs' rival academy or... do some... other thing? It's very unclear. Their only other choice appears to be homelessness. Anyway, pressing social issues aside, Briggs has promised the kids a release from their powers! Whoo! Hazmat and Mettle might get some happiness! But there's always a cost, and this time it might be paid with lives... 

(But it will probably just be paid with angst and weird deformities. #spoilers)

Stormwatch #12

All endings are beginnings too, especially with next month's issue zeroes for the DCnU books. This week Martian Manhunter breaks up with Stormwatch, ending the first era of the Stormwatch epoch. But, because he wears a cape, he has to do it the only way superheroes know how: with a knock-down, drag-out brawl! In space! 

Also, later this month Stormwatch guests in I, Vampire, the village bicycle of crossovers. #RelevanceThroughForcedInteraction

X-Factor #241

Strong Guy's been dumped. And, as we all learned in Teen Wolf this week, when you die and come back your a soul gets replaced by a hottie-cidal fury that makes you exact indiscriminate vengeance on every Tyler you come across! Using a Colton Haynes!!!! 

I mean, Strong Guy will probably use his fists and incredible intellect, but... I still have my fingers crossed for a Colton Haynes! #Kanima

Earth 2 #4

Bottom billing for killing minority characters. Boo! I just really hope Solomon Grundy or Rose/Thorn is Sam reincarnated... I want conflicted gay romance between equals!!! Like Catwoman!!! #AnneHathawayDreams

SuperQueeros! for July 4th, 2012

Independence Day! Buy some indie comics AND Earth 2 #3!

Earth 2 #3

GREEN LANTERN ORIGIN STORY! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Stormwatch #11

The Engineer takes on the shadows! Are Apollo and Midnighter broken up???

X-Factor #239

It's field trip time! The crew has split up for a series of quests, and first up is Banshee against... a banshee?!??!

Hack/Slash #17

Vlad fights his family.

SuperQueeros for June 6th, 2012

After last week's queer-desert we deserve this oasis! Earth 2, Avengers Academy, Stormwatch, X-Factor: Queer character troves, old and new! PLUS, Valiant is relaunching Harbinger again! This is the Valiant version of the X-men, and in addition to being my fav title from the Valiant line (XO Manowar lost my attention after the protagonist put on clothes) it's also got a history of subverting comic book traditions. Fingers crossed that we'll get a queer-mo in the relaunch! But until then...

OH AND BY THE WAY GUYS THE WATCHMEN PREQUEL MINUTEMEN CAME OUT TODAY!

OH MY GOSH THE LAST SUPURBIA CAME OUT TOO!!!!!!!! ARGH SO MANY GOOD COMICS TODAY! (Sorry, but the tags are gonna SUCK for this entry!)

Earth 2 #2

I am very excited for this origin issue! First Earth 2 Flash is empowered by the Greek Gods (much better than the speed force), now a gay Alan Scott is going to get magical flame powers (and does his armor look a little Parallax-y to you?), and have you even SEEN the new Hawkgirl?? The Earth 2 Trinity is all about empowering minorities (and Judd Apatow's version of Jay Garrick. [I understand that "diversity" encompasses EVERYBODY, but... SIGH.])! I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but... this series looks so good!! 

Avengers Academy #31

So... I really like this book, and this story in particular. I've missed Surge something FIERCE and now she gets to duke it out with Striker for a couple of issues? That alone is so awesome that I think AvX needs to be a continuing series starring the cast of this crossover! (Also, because Dr. Kavita Rao standing next to Tigress is the EPITOME of unwitting self-parody of the comics industry.)

Stormwatch #10

Harry Tanner is back! His story thread is kick-as: the Prince of Lies is an excellent nemesis for the historically over-powered Stormwatch crew and I can't wait for the Projectionist to screw him over!  So far we've established that Stormwatch and Harry are in a race against each other to find all these powerful hallows artifacts, but we haven't seen one yet... Maybe this is the month we do!

X-Factor #237

Banshee, Wolfsbane, and Polaris take a road trip so that Rhane will stop flagellating herself over birthing a demon-god. Maybe Rictor and Shatterstar will be able to have a date night while they're out! Yeah, I realize that's only going to happen if their dinner is interrupted by a slathering wolf-bear king, but I can dream, right?

i, Zombie #26

I picked up the last issue because it seemed like a good jumping on point, and now I'm just waiting for the half-price sale so I can buy the whole series! Spot's crush on a gay guy who houses a (straight) vigilante ghost is so perfectly angst-generating that I have to read its genesis! AND it's great for bringing up the "Two-Spirit" part of the LGBTQIAT-SAetc soup! Also they're gonna fight an elder god soon so... Bonus Points for Cthulhus!

Hack/Slash #16

Speaking of self-parody, have you seen the cover of this issue? It's like... WHAT? Who green-lit this idea??????

SuperQueeros! for May 2nd, 2012

It's my brother's birthday on the 2nd! Happy birthday, lil' bro! The comics industry got you some SWEET-AS presents!

Edit: This title didn't show up this week. :(

Supurbia #3

My new favorite comic!!! Have you seen Agent Twilight???? No wonder Night Fox switched teams, that boy is FIIIIIIIINE! Anyway, the premise is that this issue a new perspective on the classic climactic-battle issue. While robots are attacking the UN (sooo JSA #yawn), this book answers the question "What's happening at the homestead?" (fresh POV!) I'm really excited to see... well, everything in this book! Grace Randolph is killing it on script, and the art by Russell Dauterman is both solid and consistent, something you don't normally find on titles with 50% female characters. Like I said: LOVE. #getit

Stormwatch #9

Apollo and Midnighter (fan favs, my favs) fight "Skallox" (purportedly fan fav, defo not my fav) and his connection to Stormwatch (Oh Gaga, is he sticking around????? Ugh.) is revealed. Unless his connection to Stormwatch is the ability to control the Carrier's latent Daemonite capacity to 'ship all my favorite couples I am NOT INTERESTED. ...But the possibility of that being the case means that I am totes mcghost buying this 'sue...

Avengers Academy #29

...And the first page is naked Hercules. CORRECT. What next? Redonk AvX sleepover? Why not! Watch as Gen Hope, some of the X-Club, all those spare X-kids with no team, and the AA misfits mix it up during the biggest crossover since the last big crossover! The Runaways story was pretty good though... let's see what Gage does with this one!

Teen Titans Annual #1

An annual!!!!??!!! I am very excited!!! Bunker front and center on the cover??? EXCELLENT. It's the TT vs the LL (Legion Lost, a title which I have not read because Gravity Kid is not in it) in a giant, killer gauntlet. The nineties truly are back! :D

X-Factor #235

Peter David continues his tromp through the "Kick Ass" archetype and gives Shatterstar a berserker rage. Will the love of his man stop his bloody rampage? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TOTES KAWAII OMG #1direction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hack/Slash #5

This is the last issue in "Monster Baiting". Evidently it is a game changer? I hope the change is that Cassie pulls a Willow and is a lesbian with exclusively-lady-relationships from now on. Oh! Maybe Samhain transitions! #probablyright

Plus Earth 2 #1 is coming out... Think we'll see Obsidian?
