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 18th, 2013

There's a new book in town (if only for the week)! The Doctor has picked up one of the world's most famous 'queeros, Oscar Wilde, in order to pepper his next adventure with Gallifreyan-level wit! Also, Supurbia turns it up a notch, Morning Glories no doubt puts another notch in its belt of murders, and Ultimate X moves a notch above the States when it gets its first gay president (of Utopia)! All in a week's work for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

SuperQueeros! for August 14th, 2013

It's the last issue of Demon Knights! Be sure to check out how it all ends when you pick up the latest issue of Supurbia, Batgirl, Fearless Defenders, and 4 other comics featuring your favorite... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!


Supurbia #10
With Sovereign out of commission and Eve cowed by guilt, the team has lost it's heart and it's... bazooka? Anyway, they're going to have to pull together when they split up to rescue the kidnapped Zari and the captured Agent Twilight! And what can Hella do now that she's trapped back in her ex-boyfriend's clutches? #kickbutt

SuperQueeros! for May 8th, 2013

What's in Gio's pouch? Does the Shining Knight's newly minted damnation bar yo from achieving zhis quest? And how will the dashing Dr. Riggs react to the revelation of her sweetie's doom-y origins? All this and much more in this week's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!


Supurbia #7
Last issue Aso found the impossible: a third child of a Daughter of Bright Moon! How can she leverage this secret, and will she want to, given that Batu still seems convinced that Eli must die? Plus, this issue Sara is going to reach a turning point in her corruption at the hands of Hector Hunt, who's well on his way to enacting his plan to use the Weapons Expo as cover for his jailbreak. Will Alexis be able to stop him? And what's in that glowing red bag that Agent Twilight liberated from that clearly-a-set-up "arms dealer"? And who wants him to have it? Diabolical shapeshifting robot Ruth, perhaps????

Astonishing X-Men #62
Iceman has some fallout from his time in the AoA. Probably something to do with that death seed that Dark Beast shoved into him? I'm sure his ex, Mystique, will only be helpful in this situation!

Prophet #35
"New father prophet" is searching for a weapon. I wonder if gender-bent John Ka will be the 'queero to find it?

Avengers Arena #9
Did you catch the double coming out last issue? Cammi outed Bloodstone and Apex transitioned! Plus Chase revealed that he's the new Darkhawk, Justin's paraplegic, and Anachronism finally got the bloodthirsty bully of his dreams. What will happen next???

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #21
Willow's back! And Xander has just thrown in his allegiance with the Big Bads!!! Will his work as a double agent double Dawn's chances of survival? Or doom her to fading out of reality completely???? And what are Billy and Anaheed up to? For that matter, where did Illyria go???

Demon Knights #20
So Sir Ystin is a vampire now? How will that affect zher quest for the Grail? And does Exoristos find vampires sexy???

Fearless Defenders #4
As the solicit says, "Come for the banter, stay for the suprises!" And by surprises, they mean retcons: Valkyrie kissed a maiden in the first issue and in issue 3 figured out that her whole origin is bupkiss: she's a Doom Maiden!!!! Hopefully this won't affect her budding relationship with Dr. Annabelle Riggs...

Life with Archie: Archie Marries Veronica #39
So evidently the political muckraking is about to begin for Kevin's senatorial campaign. I'm just confused: if Kevin publicly married Clay, how is it going to be a controversial issue that his opponent can exploit? Unless marriage equality isn't the norm in Future!Riverdale? Because it's impossible to have unrepentant haters in the Archie-verse, right??

Witchblade #166
Now that Sara knows the truth about the remade universe, it's time to bring it down, starting with the world's only honest politician. Will Dani step in to stop her? (In my fanfic she does, just as Finch/the Angelus is interfering too. Dani and Finch see each other across the room and, WHAMO, love at first-sight-in-this-iteration-of-the-Image-verse!)

SuperQueeros! for April 10th, 2013

With Hippolyta coming back from the dead in the Marvel U and fighting the undead in the DCnU, Tia rescuing Batu from certain death in the Supurbia-U, and the Gordian knot that is #nowthatchersdead in the Twitter-U, this week is a life-or-death week for powerful women! And that means that it's a great week for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!

Supurbia #6
Woohoo, Gio gets a storyline! The dashing Nightwing-with-good-hair is investigating an illegal weapons deal without his Batman-esque boy toy and the fallout is going to have ramifications for the whole 'hood! What with Zari thinking Gio is the cat's pajamas (or at least really good at pajama parties), will a bazooka bust gone bad force her to resort to using her evil magic powerstone (courtesy of Hector Hunt) to save Agent Twilight? And will Agent T dig up something incriminating about The Superhero & Weapons Expo? Or is Alexis actually going to acquire HuntTech, and is her doing so part of some sort of convoluted trap????

Fearless Defenders #3
Hippolyta (Daughter of Ares, not the mother of a butt-kicking clay princess) joins the cast! Hippolyta is so strongly Wonder Woman's mother in my mind that it's odd to me that she is some sort of maiden superhero in the Marvel U. Ditto with the actual Greek stories, too. Every time I see her in an alternate universe I think, "When does she have time for all this queen-ing? Diana must be taking up so much of her time at that age!" Anyway, the awesome Misty Knight-and-Valkyrie recap pages continue in this issue, so this book is perfect even before page one!

Kevin Keller #8
Kevin Keller has his own love triangle now! This is kind of one of the coolest things to ever happen in comics, you guys. #IMO #DanParentIsASuperQueero

X-treme X-men #13
Final Issue!!!!!!!!!! This has been my favorite X-book for the past year-ish ("Wolver-queers before Weddings", as they say!), so it's hard to see it go so soon... The best I can hope for is that Howlett survives and Dazzler remains totes bad-as. But in terms of what is actually happening this issue: 
Kid!Nightcrawler makes "the ultimate sacrifice", which I assume means he kills the anti-Celestial with his Spidey lunch box. Either way, I'm still P.O.'d about Howlett's loss... On the LGBT-upside, though, it looks like it's up to Karma and Northstar to save the day! Go remaining 'queeros!

Demon Knights #19
The Demon Knights take on the vampire army invading Themescyria! (It's like totes Hippolyta week, eh?)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #20
Xander tumbles into a possible solution to save the fading Dawn!

SuperQueeros! for March 13th, 2013

For perhaps the first time EVER in the history of this column, there are only AMAZING comics this week! No schlock, just seven awesome titles for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!!
Supurbia #5
Have you read the preview??? Did you see the Easter egg on Zari's shirt?? And I had no idea Tia was such an awesome superhero! Plus Eve gets some storyline! (I feel like she's been relegated to playing an extra to the rest of the team ever since the mini, which I guess is fair turnabout since they were all JLA archetypes to her heroic ingenue for this four issues...) Oh, and Sara and Zari look so awesome in the cold open! I almost want Hector to succeed just to see that Thelma & Louise biz every month!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #19
Buffy heads back to San Fran, only to find out that a world without magic may soon be a world without anthropomorphized mystical artifacts, specifically Buffy's sister! Will Willow swing in with a solution? Will Billy's research save the day? Or is it curtains for everyone's favorite inter-dimensional Key??? (File that under "Ways Buffy Summers is like Scott Summers") #DawnIsInTrouble #MustBeAWednesday

Demon Knights #18
No Etrigan and Vandal Savage on the tail of the DK for stealing away Jason Blood... With no villains in the fold, how will the Knights fight evil, vampiric fire with evil, demonic fire?

Avengers Arena #6
Woohoo! Anachronism makes the cover! Hopefully that's not the last thing he does on this mortal coil!!!

EDIT: looks like Anachronism is into the ladies, not the dudes. But I did miss that Batman #18, guest starring Cullen Rowe, came out today!

Fearless Defenders #2
Moonstar joins the team! But will it be as an archer or as a Valkyrie???

Ultimate Comics X-Men #24
Fingers crossed that we get some Ultimate Colossus again this issue!

X-treme X-Men #12
So now that Xavier-in-a-bottle is an unholy Nazi sorcerer trinity, what the most kick-as team of X-men going to do to save the universe? (Hint: it plays into X-termination) [Also, point of trivia: this team is one Nocturne away from being perfect.]

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

SuperQueeros! for February 13th, 2013

Cancellations, new love, new teammates, and returning bi-monthly mega-titles! It must be time for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, and queer in comics today!


X-treme X-men #10
As you have no doubt heard, this is the beginning of the end of one of the best Marvel Now! books on the shelves today. Thankfully they're getting the chance to wrap up the long term plot threads, so Evil Xavier better watch his back! But unthankfully, this, the home of the first hottest couple in comics today (Herclett) is about to also birth the second hottest (if straight) romance just in time for cancellation. That's right, say hello and goodbye to... Dazzclops!

Supurbia #4
If you've checked out the preview for this issue you know that Ruth gets her robot-butt back in the game as she takes a blood-soaked Hella under her metal wing. But what about Agent Twilight? Is he just going to be relegated to playing dress up with Green Nightlight? I thought we were getting some Night Fox drama!

Morning Glories #24
Reading these issues when they are collected into trades really helps keep the continuity fresh in your mind... The only thing that I can remember for certain is that Jun is hot. And maybe his twin brother is dead? And there are two Jades? And is Irena evil? And is Ike going to kill his father? Let's hope they put a sumamry at the beginning of the issue!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9 - Freefall #18
I love that Billy's main job in the Scoobies is reading and not dying: He and I have all the same interests! Also, I love that the lack of magic in the world is making the Key sick. But I hope she doesn't die! Oh, and Illyria is in this issue, so, duh, it'll totes rock.

Demon Knights #17
What did happen to Madame X? And why do we care about Jason Blood again? Meh, Exoristos and Shining Knight cutely and angst-i-ly squabbling are all the squee I need in a comic!

True Blood #9
This same werewolf story has been going on for almost a YEAR!

Scarlet Betch Episode 72



Hey Betches!

Hi folks! We're back this week with a return to the audio podcast form! We've been getting feedback from several listeners that our video podcasts while fun were kind of long and rambly. And while I'm sure many of you will miss enjoying Anthony's adorable smile, we've accepted that we're far too chatty and not tech-savvy enough to edit down our long videos to manageable lengths. But the plus side, you can download us directly to your mp3 player! Subscribe to our podcast over at the iTunes site, or download it directly HERE!

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 12th, 2012

The ripple effects of my research into queer comic book characters continues this week with a new (read: VERY OLD, with her own canceled solo series) bi lady, plus a ton of the other great superqueeros!

EDIT: I forgot to mention Kevin Keller and Clay Walker in this week's Life with Archie!

Grifter #15
"Grifter's not bi!" you say. "Or a lady!" And right you are!! But his partner in action-packed-adventures, Voodoo, is very much both of those things. And this week they face off against the Suicide Squad! Maybe they'll off one of the SS and Voodoo will get to join up. And then she can date Knockout or Scandal! Or both! #matchmakermatchmaker

X-treme X-men #7.1
This issue is a brief interlude before our heroes rejoin head-in-a-jar-Xavier and meet the team he gathered to replace them, but it starts out AWESOMELY: our thundering threesome pick up a fearsome fourth when they are joined by space-mecha-piloting-SAGE!!!!!!!! Sage was a stalwart of the original "X-treme" team, so her joining up is an awesome nod to her origins. Plus, since she was kinda an Emma Frost stand-in (just with an ever-expanding list of powers), it's a lil' cheeky having her replace Emmaline. Now all she has to do is kill a space-whale-Brood-Xavier, find our heroes a way back to their head-in-a-jar-Xavier, and not find herself in any one of the perilous positions telepaths seem to encounter in this book! (Also, evidently, now that the universe is busted 'n' stuff any telepath with a wandering mind's eye can 'port a whole gaggle of mutants across inter-dimensional boundaries? Whatevs.)

Supurbia #2
DID YOU READ LAST MONTH'S ISSUE?!?! It looks like Hector Hunt is going to be romancing Night Fox's wife Alexis (or having someone do it for him)!!!! And Gio is totes gonna be coming out so he can push the tension and have Night Fox all to himself! Oh, and I'm loving the transgressive storyline of the Son of the (Mongolian) Amazons. It will be interesting to see the intolerance of the Mongolian Amazons and how the book treats it! Plus Hella Hunt is screwed! Argh, I love this book!!!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Freefall #16
Billy's in the main cast now (woo!) but the solicit only says that Buffy will have to face a demon from one of her long-lived exes' pasts. Fingers crossed that Bill gets involved! And CuteDevon!

Demon Knights #15
Madame Xanadu! Shining Knight! Exoristos (Shining Knight's sapphic Amazon)! This book is just awesome! And this issue they only have to defeat two armies (one: Lucifer's, the other: the Questing Queen's), revive Merlin, and survive a time jump (and a shift in writer)! Who lives? Who dies? Who retires???????

Hack/Slash #21
"Final" continues!!! Lotsa people die!

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)!

Sunday, June 3, 2012

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??????

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

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
"Everything I touch turns to gold" - Grace Randolph
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
Is this cover hot?
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?

SuperQueeros! for April 4th, 2012

Only three comics this week, but all of them SO GOOD:

Supurbia #2
With Night Fox's queer indiscretions coming to light, this series earns itself a place in the hallowed ranks of superqueero comics. With the amazingness of the art, story, and writing themselves, it's earned itself a place forever in my heart. This book rocks. #buyit and see why the wives of superheroes are the new super-team burning up the sales racks!!

Avengers Academy #28
The second (and final) crossover issue with the Runaways! With the Runaways thinking Pym is out to institutionalize them, barely staying civil with the Academy students, and currently stuck in the mystical dino-dimension from which Reptil's powers come this issue is sure to take this storyline out with a roar!

Stormwatch #8
The battle with the gravity miners wraps up, as does Paul Jenkins' run. I'm interested to see how he closes up his run, given that Jenkins has shepherded us through a tumultuous beginning that set up quite a few long-term plot threads. Hopefully none of the hanging threads gets tied up when the gravity miners just, say, kill the Prince of Lies or something equally as deus ex blackhole.
