Backstagers #1

“LETS MAKE A SUPER GAY STAGE CREW BOOK!!” Thus spake the co-creators of the new BOOM Studios book about a team of queer theatre dudes who have access to a magical realm of mystery. If you've ever wished that Lumberjanes were less outdoorsy or published more frequently or had more gay boys, then this is the book for you!

Ultimates #9

Civil War is taking a toll on the team, just as they race against time to stop the Macronaut (a.k.a., The King of the Cosmos) and Thanos gleefully bides his time before he strikes!

SuperQueeros! for June 22nd, 2016

This week gives us dimension-hopping, training a covert ops team of teens, and Civil War. It's... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #28

Just like Excaliber, Xander and Dawn are making their way through a crosstime caper! But without the human hearts of the team, will Willow and the Scoobs stick together long enough to ensure that Dawn and Xander have a home to come back to?

Archie #9

If Veronica wants to date Archie, she's going to have to brave the world of Riverdale! Or should I say that Riverdale will have to brave a world under Veronica? Either way, everything is changing!

SuperQueeros! for May 11th, 2016

Civil War is blowing up at the box office, Eurovision is blowing up my twitter feed, and now some new comic books are about to blow up your local comic book store! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Ultimates #7

Newly back from the Outside of reality, the Ultimates go up against the worst the new 616 has to offer: Thanos is waltzing down to Earth to acquire the cosmic cube that just popped up on terra firma.

Archie #8

Hiram is running for mayor. Can Archie put a crimp in his enemy's plans?

Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys #2

The gang continues their rescue mission and the creative team continues their Harley-creating mission! This week: Harley Sinn!

Catwoman #52

The Black Mask, the Fals Face Society, and Catwoman's mysterious past... what these three things have in common come to light and change Selina's status quo, just in time for Rebirth!

Constantine the Hellblazer #12

When that evil hot demon lord teams up with your super hot demon ex and they offer you all the power you've ever dreamed of in exchange for the soul of New York: what's the hashtag for that?

All-New X-Men #9

The Apocalypse War continues as Evan Sabahnur comes face to face with his dark destiny: En Sabah Nur, Apocalypse himself!

Earth 2 Society #12

Power Girl and Captain Steel try to stop World War I (on the new Earth 2) using only the power of... their fists? That doesn't seem like it will work.

SuperQueeros! for April 28th, 2016

We're getting a lot of interesting concepts in comics this week: Galactus' role as Lifebringer is defined, Wonder Girl discovers her origins, and Harley Quinn takes on her marvelous counterpart... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Harley Quinn #27

Comics sure love a foul-mouthed, fourth wall-breaking, homicidal psychopath dressed in black and red! Can you even imagine what would happen if the two of them were in the same comic? They'd probably kill each other! In a rollerderby! With a LOT of civilian casualties! Actually, stop imagining it and get to your local comic book shop to read about it. This month, our beloved Harley Quinn, the "Yas Kween!" clown of chaos, is taking down her marvelous male counterpart: It's Harley Quinn vs. .... Redtool!

Ultimates #6

Al Ewing continues to define the new status quo for Galactus, the Lifebringer! But is this really a new chapter for the former universal constant of destruction? Any story that starts with the Sisyphus myth and is about a planetary-scale reversal of entropy is, by virtue of Chehov's gun, just loading up the universe for another Dark Phoenix-level genocide!

Batgirl #51

As Galactus starts a new chapter, Babs is closing the book on her time in Burnside. With just one issue left, join Batgirl and friends as they discern just what their next steps are!

Insexts #5

Lady and Mariah have answers. Now they just need to save the missing women from the Hag!

Teen Titans #19

Now that Cassie knows that she is a demigod - and Wonder Woman's niece - it's time for her to fight alongside the rest of her Olympian family!

Pasty Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat!

Patsy and Valkyrie are in a bit of a bind. Can they make it out and make it to Patsy's big meeting with Hedy Wolfe? Or is this cool cat as good as skinned?

Saga #36

Now that Upsher and Doff are under his sway, will the Will have the resources he needs to close in on our heroes?

Secret Six #13

Strix has to save the rest of the team, and to do so she will have to... defeat the rest of the team!

SuperQueeros! for March 23rd, 2016

Dawn gets her Key on, Wiccan and Hulkling head to Pleasant Hill, and Patsy gets a new job and hangs out with Howard the Duck. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 10 #25

When a demon god closes a door, it opens a portal to another dimension. And then Buffy and her sister slam them closed!

There's an American Kaiju in comics, and here's where it rises from the depths! Plus this issue crosses over with the stand-off at Pleasant Hill.

Patsy gets her fourth job in as many issues. This time she's crossing over with Howard the Duck to find out what supervillain is stealing her idea and recruiting out of work baddies.

SuperQueeros! for February 10, 2016

Happy Valentine's Day, dear readers! To celebrate the season of love, commercialism, and discount candy, publishers are giving us a bouquet of a dozen queer-inclusive comics. But which ones will you choo-choo-choose? SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Jem & the Holograms: Valentine's Day Special #1Synergy's song has changed and it's dialing down the demeanors of the Misfits and the Holograms from angry to amiable. But if these two bands don't hate each other, how will they feel about each other?

Constantine The Hellblazer #9

You know that dream where you walk into an auction, all ready to bid on the souls of the damned, but you're not wearing any glamour magic? Embarrassing! John knows that feeling all too well. He journeyed the top floor of Hell on earth to save his hunky trick, but the demons there saw right through his flimsy disguise! How is our favorite anti-hero going to double-cross his way out of this one?

Insexts #3

Lady and Mariah have a family to protect from the monsters around them. What new forms will they take to protect their child?

Earth 2 Society #9

Hawkgirl joins the Amazons, Batman fights the Mist, and Green Lantern continues his solitary life of being a giant Gaea.

All New X-Men #4

The X-Men start their adventure and, according to the author's interviews, Iceman explores being out!

Ultimates #4

Wherever reality ends, there will be monsters. And there Ms. America Chavez will be, kicking monster butt.

Catwoman Corner: In Catwoman #49, Selina takes on Killer Croc and Batgirl, while in Injustice Gods Among Us Year 5 #3 Killer Frost and Bane capture Selina and she waits for Batman to save her. #WhySoloTitlesMatter

Harley's Habitat: In Harley's Little Black Book #2, Harley gets a power ring! The Queen of Quinn manages to snag a combo black-and-red power ring this issue. Unfortunately, just as she's starting to get the hang of her new accessory, the least fun Lantern of all decides to drop by and spoil everything. So Harley has to mope back to her team book, New Suicide Squad #7, and work on breaking out of Task Force X. 

Legend of Wonder Woman #2

Diana's training on Themyscira continues as revolt against her mother foments! 

Adventure Time #49 

In case Marceline or Bubblegum make a cameo, why not check out the latest issue of AT? Finn and Jake get to erase their new friend from reality! 

SuperQueeros! for January 6th, 2016

Welcome to 2016, a year where queer superheroes headline successful solo titles, punch holes in the universe, and follow in their daughters' footsteps! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Midnighter #8

After his successful vampire hunting campaign with Grayson, a.k.a. the most eligible super-spy in the DCU, Midnighter has attracted a job offer from the international espionage organization Spyral. Unfortunately for Midnighter, Spyral is not accustomed to hearing the word, "No." Unfortunately for Spyral, Midnighter is not accustomed to speaking with anything other than his fists.

Ultimates #3

Ms. America Chavez and the Ultimates have done it: they've transformed Galactus from a harbinger of death into a giver of life! But is Galactus on the side of the heroes? Or is a universe without planetary extinction actually a curse more than a blessing?

Uncanny X-Men #1

Mystique, M, and Magneto lead a crew of villains and X-Force members to do the dirty work that the Extraordinary X-Men can't do. These are the B.A.M.F.s that fans want and the super-villains mutant-kind needs!

SuperQueeros! for December 9th, 2015

There's a ton of SuperQueero-inclusive comics this week, including a brand new comic about Victorian 'queeros, plus a holiday special that's piqued my interest. SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

InSeXts #1

A woman scorned by her husband and society accepts a dark gift from her lady lover and uses it to exact her bloody, erotic revenge. The premise of this new title hits all the benchmarks for a good horror comic: It's simple, subversive, gratuitous, and awesome! Whether the book lives up to its solicits, however, is yours to discern.

Constantine The Hellblazer #7

As I learned on the podcast Journey Into Misery, Constantine was first introduced in the pages of Swamp Thing in the 1980s. Today Constantine is well into his third continuing series and Swamp Thing is swinging by for a guest appearance! The only question remaining is which of their classic character dynamics they will be repeating. Will they help each other discover more about their powers? Will they manipulate each other into losing touch with their remaining humanity? Who knows! Maybe they'll do that thing where they possess each other's bodies to conceive an anti-christ! #crazykids

Ultimates #2

How do you solve a problem like Maria Galactus? Ms. America Chavez and the Ultimates are here to find out! And by the end, like almost all his heralds before him, the giant purple devourer of worlds is going to be Marvel's newest superhero!

Catwoman #47

What is Catwoman without gang warfare and street politics? Selina has left behind her family business and is getting back to the trade that made her the leading lady she is today: (cat) burglary.

Rachel Rising #38

It's a team-up to take down Malus! Can Rachel and crew track down the demon that's making their lives a living hell, all puns intended?

Earth 2 Society #7

The Green Lantern takes on Doctor Impossible. But can a hero whose power is constrained by his creativity triumph over a villain whose abilities are limited to the unimaginable?

Deadpool #3 and Uncanny Avengers #3

Deadpool brings in a heap of obscure guests in his solo title while on his team title he welcomes his former co-star, Cable! 

Hercules #2

Herc continues his quest to pound bad beasties while looking as much like my Instagram feed as possible.

Queer-Adjacent Comic Spotlight:

Gwenpool Special #1 is out this week and it promises everything on your wishlist: She-Hulk, Hawkeyes, Ms. Marvel, and the character that you never knew you needed until today, the merc with a penchant for reinventing legacy characters, Gwenpool!

SuperQueeros! for November 11, 2015

Oh em gee, the cover art game this week is ridonc. Take a selfie with your new comics this week because these issues are on fleek. 

SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Catwoman #46

The Queen Bae of cover artists, Kevin Wada, strikes again with this #gorgeo Catwoman cover. Look at that back tattoo! Look at that dress! But seriously, please, look at it for me. Because I can't. Because I literally died.

(Oh, also Catwoman #2, Eiko Hasigawa, is ditching the alias she shares with her ex, Selina, to take on the mantle of her Yakuza father and exact vengence on his killers. Unfortunately, due to operatic circumstances, that leaves Selina and her family right in Eiko's sights.)

Constantine the Hellblazer #6

What?! What is this cover you give us, comic book gods? Is this not John Constantine, the most famous magical bisexual (Editor's Note: Redundant, all bisexuals are magical.) on a date in a terrifying hellscape version of New York with the super hot dude he was cruising in issue #2?! Is this not specifically what I asked for for Christmas? Thank you, comic book gods, thank you!

Teen Titans #13

Ugh. Power Girl is so cool. Look at this cover: ameezing hair, a gold chest circle subtly referencing her namesake's signature costume feature, and a tiny blue jacket that perfectly foils Kara's tiny red cape. As the Titans regroup after Kon's apparent suicide, who better to turn this ratchet set of teens around than the coolest Power Girl not on Earth-2?

The Ultimates #1

This is it. Marvel's answer to The Authority: Blue Marvel, Captain Marvel II (a.k.a. Spectrum), Captain Marvel VII (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel), Black Panther, mother-luvin' Galactus, and most importantly, the biggest heavy hitter on this team, Miss America Chavez. For ultimate problems, you need ultimate solutions. And a dimension-kicking lesbian.
