SuperQueeros! for May 16th, 2012

I studied too long for my next actuarial exam so... Blitzkreig!

Batwoman #9

"To Drown the World" chapter two! Six stories, only one Batwoman. Will these disparate pieces start to fall together?

X-Factor #236

Check out the cover!!!! '90's-TASTIC! And promises of revealing some of the Longshot/Shatterstar "familial" logistics!

Wonder Woman #9
Wondy Saves Zola from Hell, chapter two! Meanwhile, Apollo and Ares are colluding...

Avengers Academy #30
More Herc! More Stiker! More Lightspeed! Yeah, next time this book'll trump X-Factor for top billing...

Justice League #9
Who knows what's happening in this book. But Wonder Woman is in it. <3Diana

Hellblazer #291
Epilogue to the Hell-journey story!

SuperQueeros! for

I caught up on my Buffy last week! Here's the scoop...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9: Freefall #9

So. Here's some spoilers from the last couple of issues! Remember at the start of this season when Buff-ster had a house party and couldn't really remember what happened or who fathered her child or why she got ridonkulously crunk when she's had years of life-or-death experience with the preternatural dangers of house parties AND was the lead actor in the main story of "Beer Bad" in season 4? Well guess what! She wasn't crunk, Andrew just roofied her! Well that's a relie- wait what? Evidently the world's most morally confused character (who I, at this moment shamefacedly love... I blame Tom Lenk!) thinks it's TOTES COOL to rohypnol-ize someone if you're just planning on switching their brains with their robotic clone so that she thinks she's preggers when she's late! See, not a violation at all! Anyway, Ro-Buffy's pissed too, but her fleshy body-which is hardcore experiencing Emily Lake Syndrome (The ELS!) right now-just got kidnapped by that evil, pink-haired slayer!!!! So Ro-Buffy/Blonde-Cable, Spike, and Andrew are off to save it! Also, zompires are evolving and Domestic-Problems Xander and New-Hot-Cop are out fighting them. 

Ultimate Comics X-Men #11

DID YOU SEE WHAT ULTIMATE COLOSSUS DID I CAN'T TAKE IT NOOOOO STAY GOOD MY TWO-DIMENSIONAL CRUSH-GUY!!!!!!!!!!!! The Nimrods are attacking and it's up to Ororo and Piotr to find a way to stop the slaughter in the newly re-grittied Ultimate-verse. Who will escape this unrepentant slaughter? Who can stomach it? Who will alert Northstar so he can swoop in and save his boo-bear???? 

Superboy #9 / Legion Lost #9

The Culling crossover continues! I'm still v v v mad at them for killing Artemis, so I'm not really gonna plug Bunker much. But did you catch Danny the Street's appearance in April's Teen Titans? 'Twas hot.

i, Zombie #25

They're finally getting around to all that ominous stuff they hinted at 2 years ago.

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?

SuperQueeros! for April 25th, 2012

I'm giving two shout-outs to non-queero titles this week because the first book in this list has me SO ECSTATICALLY HAPPY!

Astonishing X-Men #49

X-Men fighting Mauraders, check. Connections to a character's shady past, check. Damsel in distress, che- Wait a minute! It's not a damsel, it's Kyle Northstar's-fan-favorite-boyfriend who's in trouble! And the charcater with the shady connection to the Mauraders is, for once, not Gambit! (Even though he is also in this title!!!) It's all Northstar, all the time in Marjorie Liu's newest homerun series and, if you've seen the solicit for issue #51, you can guess that that spotlight is not going to abate until we've got a happy ending for Marvel's first and foremost gay X-couple!

Justice League Dark #8 / I, Vampire #8

It's the end of the crossover! John's going back into Hell (remember, he was just there in his eponymous other-line title?) to get the vampire cavalry while Xanadu makes a deal with the powers that be and Shade and Zatanna struggle to survive the vampire hordes! To subdue this uprising, however, our characters are going to have to "change the face of sorcery forever!" Fingers crossed that that means getting Constantine a boyfriend again!

New Avengers #25
The Iron Fist finds out his magic kung fu can host the Phoenix Force! Or something. Will Victoria be in this issue now that she's a good guy again?????

Teen Titans #8
Now that they saved Superboy, it's time to save Wonder Girl! I love that they have rainbow Tron costumes!!!!

SHOUT OUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Archie Marries Valerie, Part 2!!! I've read those Life with Archie titles and trust me, Val's the best choice, Archie! (Besides Jugghead, of course)
Warlords of Mars! No reason and definitely not solely because of the cover! NOPE! Not because of that!

SuperQueeros! for April 18th, 2012

Just a quick write up this week, but did you guys read Ultimate X-Men??? OMFGaga, THAT SH!T WAS CRAY!

Wonder Woman #8

Wondy's gotten tricked out by her new siblings and she raiding Hell! This title may not get as crazy as Ultimate X-men did last week, but if you want your socks blown off from sheer awesome-ness, this is the title to buy this week!

X-Factor #234

There are twelve cast members on this book. TWELVE. And they all manage to get solid airtime almost every issue! Now it looks like David is adding two more characters to the book, one of whom seems, from next month's solicits, to have a connection to 'Star and Longshot. Interesting...

Hellblazer #290

Just gonna quote the solicit. Whoever writes John's solicits is amazing: "Lost souls, sentimental psychopaths, and a plan to mess up an old enemy."

Justice League #8

1. New Green Arrow looks hot. 2. Wondy is queer enough for this title to count, right? Please flame my inbox with your opinion!

SuperQueeros! for April 11th, 2012

This week is... 100% awesome titles! #nerdgasm

Ultimate Comics X-Men #10

Storm is breaking out of her concentration camp, which means she's saving Peter from being tortured by flatscans, which means finding out what's up with Ultimate Northstar???? I'm so glad the Ultimate X-Men are back... :D

Batwoman #8

Have you seen the roster of baddies KK is fighting this arc??? Crazy awesome!!! The mythology of this series is so rich and free-standing. That living hook? CRAY. Blood Mary? CRAAAAAY. And the new Croc? Pretty norma- CRAZY!

Kevin Keller #2

PROM! The other KK of comics is planning his high school's prom, which raises the question, who will date-changed Kevin take??? Evidently he has a secret admirer! #squee

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 9 Freefall #8

So... I don't know if I read issue #7? It's very confusing because it's the only title I follow that isn't digital yet. Evidently B's been vamped? And Andrew will be in this issue! Is he canon-gay yet? This is very confusing for me... #butiwillbuyiteventually #godigital!!!

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.
