Teen Titans #23

What is the continuity between Detective Comics and this book? H.I.V.E. had the teens right where it wants them, including Red Robin, but isn't he supposed to be heading to university next month? Bunker help his friend escape, or are the Titans about to become bee food?

Extraordinary X-Men #13

The X-Men survived the Apocalypse Wars, but they've managed to unleash Apocalypse back into the present day, lose track of Horseman Colossus, and misplace the demon girl whose mutant powers tie her intimately to the dimension in which the X-Men reside.

Synergy is turning evil and now The Misfits have a new lead singer?! Is this the Jem-verse or Wonderland?

Teen Titans #17

The Titans have their backs against a wall. It's a good thing that they have a psychic wall-builder on their side. Or should I have said "did have"?

All New X-Men #5

Did you see Iceman try to flirt last issue? It was so adorably awkward! Pick up this issue to see if he tries anything smoother than icing a margarita the second time around.

Chew #55

A(nother) character dies! After this issue, there is just ONE STORY ARC LEFT for Chew!

Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat #3

Karma, Rictor, and the rest of the Genosha crew raid the X-mansion in order to get a mutant healer. But the mansion's residents are not going to cooperate, which means... X-men fight!

I'm also only including A-Force #2 because I'm PRAYING that Ms. America Chavez isn't dead. Fingers crossed for a final page reveal! Also, Archie's Double Digest #262 might have some Kevin Keller cameo, if that's your jam.

SuperQueeros! for February 25th, 2015

There are quite a few new arrivals this week! With spring around the corner it's time for some All-New, All-Different... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Amazing X-Men #17

Cain Marko is back and he's P.O.'d at the X-men! This time it's because... they killed his brother? I can only imagine he's mad that they did it before he could. Anyway, think he'll be the one to gain Cyttorak's power?

Wolverines #8

SO, Mystique is in charge, Lady Deathstrike figured out that Shogun's second personality is that of her dead beau, X-23 is playing lil' sis to one-armed Daken, and the last page of the last issue was the biggest ever reveal in all of OTP history! Anyway, this issue their plane gets attacked and all plans are put on hold.

Another DC-domination week, and the relaunch of a fan-favorite title! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Secret Six #1

The lead story this week is that Gail Simone is finally giving us the DCnU's version of her fan favorite team! Of course, the only familiar faces are Catman and Black Alice, but can Vandal Savage be that far behind? And will she get back her Knockout? And, in the meantime, what superqueero will Simone be bringing to the table to tide us over?

Archie #661

It's Kevin Keller's first encounter with Jingles, Riverdale's tiniest elf with the biggest attitude! Of course, since I only started reading Archie because of Kevin, it's mine too, so I'm relying entirely on the solicit for that judgment of Jingles. Novice though I am, I'm pretty certain that Jingle's annoying 'tude is big enough to put Kevin's life - or at least his pre-Thanksgiving Christmas issue - in danger!

Earth 2 #28 // Earth 2: World's End #5

Apokolips' Four Furies are burning Earth 2 around them, and Green Lantern is cornered by an old enemy: Solomon Grundy (re-born this Wednesday)!

Rachel tries her hand at some magic of her own...

Chew #43

Olive, Poyo, and Colby. Need we see more? No, we don't.

Amazing X-Men #11

Northstar's old and new teams collide in the Spirit Realm!


Harbinger Omega #2
Kris and the rest of the team are in the sights of Harada. Can they make it through a miniseries subtitled "Omega"?

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?

No joke, I think we might have a week bare of all... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Chew/Revival #1

The only glimmer of queerness that I can see is the potential for Tony's gay partner to be included in this crossover between two of Image's classic titles. Otherwise, all I can recommend is that you pick-up Ms. Marvel and Mighty Avengers. Who knows, maybe Kevin Keller will be available for purchase early!

SuperQueeros! for February 26th, 2013

The theme this week is dark alternate realities: the one where your friend is the evil king, the one where your dead sister is a prophetic ghost, and the one WITH NO ALCOHOL! Can you guess which one the Rat Queens have to visit this week? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Rat Queens #5

What are the Rat Queens to do when THERE IS NO BOOZE?????? (I'm just guessing, but I think the answer is kill and maim until there is more booze?)

SuperQueeros! for January 22nd, 2013

Though this is usually a strong week in the month for superqueero's, today we bid adieu to one of my favorite books of the past year, FF.  We'll have to console ourselves with a super-large final issue and all of this week's other... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

FF #16

It's the end of the ride for Tong's Fantastic Four stand-in team! I'm sure we'll get Tong in whatever Fantastic Four series comes out next, but for the fans of Shulkie this may be the last time you see Jenn in a while. Oh, and the plot of this one is that Antman channels Leslie Nielsen and takes down the Doom who took his daughter away from him (and the rest of the world by killing her).

SuperQueeros! for December 11th, 2013
