LGBT Character of the Week: Tristan and Isolde

0073.gifSometimes you just can't make this stuff up. Take Camelot 3000 for example, a reimagining of King Arthur and the knights of Camelot in the year 3000 (Conan fans stop singing this instant).

When aliens led by Morgan Le Fay invade Earth in the year 3000, King Arthur is awakened from mystic slumber and several of his knights, having been reincarnated in new identities, regain their old memories. [thanks Gayleague]
I think you can see the set-up. Ultra-manly Tristan of yore is reincarnated in a woman's body in the future. Hilarity, evil machinations, and a rather touching coming-to-terms follows. I only have two questions about placing King Arthur in the year 3000. 1. WHY GOD WHY?!?!? and 2. WHY GOD WHY!?!?!

For an interesting take on it, definitely read Grant Morrison's "Seven Soldiers."

Comic of the Week

Review: Stormwatch #1 Stormwatch #1, the first of DC's new 52 to feature LGBT characters (before the reboot, at least) is out to add a new cosmic dimension to the post-Flashpoint universe. There isn't much to be said for our beloved broship yet (though the last page shows a handshake between Apollo and Midnighter and promises a "Big Bang"), but the issue is a great gauge for whether or not you'll want to stick with the series to see the romance purportedly unfold....
