SuperQueeros! for November 27th, 2013

Doctor Who is all over the place this week, Saga explores its 'queeros, and Avengers Arena kills it's last students! Plus a whole bunch of other... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Doctor Who #15

Did everyone watch the 50th anniversary special??? Wasn't it EXCELLENT? Anyway, back in comicsville, it's the Doctor and Oscar Wilde against that alien gunman! How much wit can one alien take???

Saga #16

I think last issue we found out that the reporter duo are queer! Or, at least, that they are a couple who express the same gender. Alien sexuality is so treacherous to try to decode... But I say they read queer! Now what are their names, again?

SuperQueeros! for November 20th, 2013

It's real life superqueero Marc Andreyko's first issue at the helm of Batwoman, Rachel Rising doesn't let death take their only self-identified 'queero, and it's Wiccan vs. Hulkling as Hulkling's ex tries to save Hulking from the spell he cast to save Hulkling! Because #comicbooks! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Batwoman #25

It's the end of J.H. Williams III's last storyline, under the pen of Marc Andreyko. How will the Battle of the Bats turn out??? [Also, I know we all ADORED J.H. (talent like a supernova that one!) and we're all reading the work he's doing on the new Sandman, but anyone who read Manhunter knows that Andreyko is AWESOME. Plus, it's a queer writing an eponymous queer character! It took Wonder Woman more than 60 years to be penned by a woman; the switch in writer means that Kate Kane only took a tenth of that time! (Though this point would hold up better if Marc quick changed into a lesbian... Still, it's very exciting!)]

SuperQueeros! for November 13th, 2013

I'm guessing that the overflow of Batman: Year Zero into Batgirl this week means no Alysia Yeoh, so we've only got two SuperQueero titles this week, and they're both from Marvel! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

The Fearless Defenders #11

It's Amazons Ahoy this month as we get some more backstory for Hippolyta when the team visits New Amazonia! Plus, it's Ren Kimura's first mission as a terrigen-mutated metahuman, her first mission with her new team, AND her first mission with Dr. Annabelle Riggs, her new looooooooove interest! But in the land of super-hot warrior ladies, will Ren and Annabelle make their love connection, or will they be too distracted by the paradise around them?

Avengers Arena #17

Last we left our heroes, Apex and Deathlocket had just awakened Old-Darkhawk (Arcade, WHY did you let this kid LIVE???), which was fortunate since they had also just been captured by Arcade! Upstairs, the remaining contestants are continuing to kill each other, oblivious to the potential change in Dungeon Master below them. How much longer can Arcade keep ahead of this steadily deteriorating situation? And who will be the Andrew Jackson of this story, taking a life after the war is over?

SuperQueeros! for November 6th, 2013

Following on from a month of endings, we have a brand new SuperQueero title beginning this week! That's right, it's Northstar's new Amazing X-Men! SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Amazing X-Men #1

As is customary in comics these days, the death of a classic hero heralds not inaction, but the beginning of a quest. Usually the quest is for the perished hero zherself, but for Nightcrawler of the X-Men the quest will be undertaken by his teammates: Northstar, Storm, Iceman, Firestar, Beast, and Wolverine have all banded together to get back the fun-loving demon-elf, and it's fixing to be AMAZING. No news yet on how this will affect Northstar's marriage...

SuperQueeros! for October 30th, 2013

Man, when will great, queer-inclusive titles stop ending?!?!?! This week we say tah-tah to Ultimate Comics X-Men. Hopefully, though, this good-bye will just be until the title relaunches post-Cataclysm. Until then, though, stay tuned for... SuperQueeros: all that's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, transgender, and queer in comics today!

Ultimate Comics X-Men #33

The whole World War X concludes with Kitty taking down Jean. I assume that will take 5 pages and then we'll have denouement for the rest of the issue. Fingers crossed that Colossus gets a better happy ending!!

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?
