Daken-on-Hulkling action in DR: Young Avengers #5

Although we are in for some Daken-on-Hulkling action during the final issue of the YA miniseries, Wiccan doesn’t have anything to worry about. Teddy really is true blue (er green) and immune to the pheremonal charms of Wolverine’s tattooed bisexual bad boy offspring. Now if only he can do something about the slashing claws.

So can the Young Avengers and those who would be Young Avengers form one big happy group? Can either of them live under Norman Osborn’s rules? Will blood out? Will guilt win? Will Speed and Coat or won’t they? It’s the end. And lots of terrible stuff happens. And everything ends in tatters.

I can’t wait to see where this leaves the Young Avengers gang. It’s been announced that creator Allen Heinberg has a YA project coming.

Calling all indie LGBT characters!

I’m looking to fill out the LGBT superlist with more non-DC or Marvel characters. My expertise definitely lies more with the spandex set so I’m going to need the help of the readers (that’s you guys). Only real criteria is that the character is somehow recurring (appearing in a title, series or serial story that had at least 4 parts – so while miniseries qualify, a one shot generally wouldn’t) – though exceptions may be made for some nominees so don’t let the criteria stifle you). Awesome comics writer Tim Fish (who famous for his Cavalcade of Boys gay comics and is writing the upcoming Northstar story in Nation-X #2) replied to QueerSUPE and mentioned that I should look into the following…

Oni Press titles: Scott Pilgrim series (title character Scott lives with and shares a bed platonically with a gay friend Wallace); Hopeless Savages (one of the sons is gay, handled beautifully. The whole Maria’s Wedding is centered around gay topic, relations.).

So if anyone has any images or additional info on these characters or can think of others that you feel belong on the A-Z list, Please comment and I’ll contact you about getting the images.
