Sigrid Nansen: Icemaiden to Glacier

Sigrid Nansen: Icemaiden to Glacier

When the DC Pride anthology was released last summer, I must admit I found it rather underwhelming and somewhat performative. As an autochorissexual, the overall lack of asexual representation beyond Tremor’s silent role in the JLQ story left me feeling annoyed. Beyond that, I had frustrations over the lack of presence many of DC’s earliest

Roar into Pride Month with Joe Glass and THE PRIDE Omnibus

When he was 13, Joe Glass was a “massive X-Men fan,” and while there is said to be an obvious analogy made between the plight of mutants and queer people, he didn’t see any at that time. The writer later learned there were queer characters in comics, but they were either rarely appearing side characters,

Queer Visibility Interview: Thompson, Goudreau, Corvus, Esposito and I AM HEXED

Accidentally Building a Complicit Universe: A GAME OF YOU and INFINITY WAR

Like most people, I saw Infinity War shortly after it came out. Like most comic aficionados, I have read several think pieces dissecting its plot, philosophy, and possible resolution. One thing that struck me, something I haven’t read about as much as I thought I would, is that Thanos should not have been rewarded with

Queer Visibility: “Faggot”

There will always be enemies. Time to stop being your own. – Larry Kramer, Faggots   Cui bono? – Latin phrase, meaning “Who benefits?”   I don’t remember how old I was the first time I was called a faggot. It was certainly many many years before coming out. And I think it’s fair to say

Queer Visibility Interview: Michelle Perez on THE PERVERT

Coming from writer Michelle Perez with art from Remy Boydell, and previously featured in Eisner nominated anthology Island, is The Pervert, an unflinching and honest account of a trans girl surviving through sex work in Seattle. Michelle was kind enough to take the time to talk with us about trans representation, and her experiences working

Queer Visibility Interview: Joe Glass and Sina Grace on THE PRIDE ADVENTURES

We’re all pretty used to seeing one queer character rolling around a comic universe. Maybe (if you’re lucky), a couple — romantic or otherwise. But what about an entire team of queer heroes? What’s that even called? That’s a Pride. With the original series in hardcover and the fifth issue of its spin-off title, The
