"EVENT AND PROCESS"
Queer Eye on Comics by Terrance Griep, posted October 5th, 2008
As astrological doohickeys go, the nova is one of the most misunderstood. Most laypeople think that "nova" is the term used when a star explodes, but that's a supernova. The nova occurs when a white dwarf star sucks hydrogen from a no-doubt-delighted companion star and makes with all these cool special effects, like lots and lots of wood burning. A nova isn't so much an event as it is a process. And in that way, a nova is a lot like coming out. Many of our well-meaning, breederly… [More…]

DOOM PATROL: THE TEIRESIAS WARS
Color Commentary by Kenne Morrison, posted October 2nd, 2008
If I were to ask people to name me a book that deals with people who are misfits and outcasts of society where a guy in a wheelchair leads a team of individuals with bizarre and terrifying powers, I’m pretty sure that the first answer that comes to mind will be the X-Men, a book about mutants who are persecuted by a public that fears and hates them for being different. However, the X-Men do not have a monopoly on persecution and being led by an oftentimes tyrant in a wheelchair for… [More…]

PETER, PETER, WHITE PASTE EATER
Queer Eye on Comics by Ed Natcher, posted September 28th, 2008
Paste-Pot Pete! Comics fans today still snicker at the mere mention of the name. Although he actually had at least as much success in his life of crime as most other four-color baddies, he appears doomed to always be the laughingstock of the Marvel Universe, both for his name (which he later changed to “The Trapster”--not really much of an improvement, if you ask me) and his original “flamboyant” wardrobe. His unusual sense of style, coupled with the strange, longtime companionship he… [More…]

“JUSTICE BE DONE”
Queer Eye on Comics by Edward Beekman-Myers, posted September 21st, 2008
Ten years ago, I went through what has probably been the darkest stage of my life so far. Never before had I felt so lost, and never before had I truly hated myself so deeply. I was in the midst of an incredibly painful breakup with a man who himself was drowning in the abyss of despair, and there was nothing I could say or do to pull him out. We only dated for a few months, but what made it so difficult was that he and I had forged such a strong connection from the moment we met that it really… [More…]

HIT AND MYTH
Color Commentary by Kenne Morrison, posted September 18th, 2008
Myth is an independent comic by Sean-Z that is clearly for adults only (the nudity on the very first page is a give-away). It has a blend of several genres - sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, and soap opera - all blended into one story. It’s hard to describe the plot of the book without giving away the story, but basically, this is a tale about an alien lord named V’Riel whose mission is to locate the lost children of Zithyra, his home planet. He soon locates three possible candidates… [More…]

HAWKMAN SPECIAL #1
Queer Eye on Comics by Scott Anderson, posted September 14th, 2008
Hey, look! I’m reviewing a Hawkman book! And not just any Hawkman book, a special Hawkman book! What could go wrong? After all, it’s Hawkman! A classic character, a striking visual design, and furry pecs in a leather harness. I love this guy! And look at that A-list talent working on the book! Starlin and Milgrom are old pros. Finally, I’m going to be reviewing a book that I can’t lick down to worthless stump with my acid tongue! Hooray! So let’s dive right in and look at the… [More…]

JAMES BOND WITH TWO SNAPS AND A TWIST!
Color Commentary by Tony Smith, posted September 11th, 2008
Reignbow & Dee-Va was born from a dream. Brian Andersen dared to dream of an action movie with a gay leading man. A really gay leading man. However, Andersen does not disappoint with his slam-bang storytelling or his action hero’s gayness. Add a dash of just the right amount of camp, and you’re still just scratching the surface of Reignbow & Dee-Va #1. The story starts out very nonchalantly with Reignbow and his best gal pal, Dee-Va – who’s a cross between Foxy Brown… [More…]
