I suppose if you are making a man, why not do it right. I wonder what T.O. Morrow REALLY had planned for “John Smith” a.k.a. Red Tornado.

Thanks to reader and regular commenter Xanadude whose mention of it reminded me I meant to share this – I was just so blinded with rage about that whoribble slutty Zatanna outfit that I forgot about Reddy sporting a pornworthy cock.

Although I only added N and O today. I actually did a LOT of work to the list. I’ve cone back though and added descriptive captions to each of the images linked to the names of the characters. SO click on the first name (Air-Walker) and take an alphabetical stroll through LGBT comics history. More to come.

OK I suppose a revealing costume makes more sense for a non-physical combatant like Zatanna Zatara, but the Mauro Cascioli’s latest incarnation of her fishnets and top hat outfit (which I’ve always loved by the way) is really crossing that oh-so fine line between sexy-magician’s-assistant and too-tacky-for Fredericks-of-Hollywood. This costume does not befit one of the most powerful sorceresses in the DCU. She looks like a strumpet. I’m hoping it won’t be seen outside of Cry for Justice.

That revealing thong is cut WAY too high when combined with the thigh-hi fishnet stockings. It just looks like cheap lingerie. I preferred Adam’s Hughes’ interpretation (above right) or the fishnet tights over thigh High boots look she sported on Brian Bolland’s cover to Zatanna Everyday Magic. Or even the classic Perez era costume we got to see again during Identity Crisis. Here is a collection of her various looks…

Those of you who have been following the events of Blackest Night know that former Titan betrayer Tara Markov pays a pivotal role in Blackest Night Titans. In a move sure to incite a fanboy frenzy, DC asked the artist who created Terra to whip up this wicked homage to his legendary original cover to Teen Titans #30 (the issue Terra joined) as an alternate cover to Blackest Night Titans #3 (of 3) – due 10/28.

Who better to homage the cover to NEW TEEN TITANS (vol. 1) #30 than its original artist George Pérez? He even did a baby Black Lantern Wildebeest on the logo! And Hi-Fi Design knocked the coloring out of the park. You might see Pérez and Hi-Fi team up again on another Titans project in 2010. Stay tuned!

As usual the details are flawless. We have BL Hawk instead of Robin, BL Phantasm in Cyborg’s place, BL Pantha and BL Baby Wildebeest in the place of Starfire and Changeling, BL Tula and BL Lilith stand in for Donna and Raven, and Tempest in Kid Flash’s position. A terrifyingly beautiful cover.

Unlike some who just don’t seem to get that the fun of Blackest Night is that it is terrifying, I am TRULY enjoying this cosmic crossover event. I cannot tell you the last time I audibly exclaimed OH SHIT! while reading a comic. The horrifying aspect of what the Black Lanterns are up to isn’t just inciting emotional responses in the heroes, it has my heart pounding as I turn the page. I cannot remember when a comic EVER had this kind of effect. If you aren’t reading it, START! All the Blackest Night minis have been excellent thus far, but Blackest Night : Titans is the best (not to mention the best Titans-related book to hit stands in a number of years).
