Pride High Creator Joins Sequential Heart, Reaches Over Level 9000 In Kindness

Tommy Roddy, creator of Pride High, has recently joined the board of directors at Sequential Heart, an organization dedicated to providing homeless youth with comic books that will help motivate and inspire them. Sequential Heart was founded by Rachel Edidin, an assistant editor at Dark Horse Comics, and Dean Trippe creator of the Butterfly webcomic.

In the latest Pride High press release, Roddy has this to say:

"My own experience with this issue occured shortly after I came out to my parents in high school. Like many LGBT youth, I was forced to leave home. Luckily, through the kindness of both friends and strangers, I was able to keep a roof over my head until I reconciled with my family. I'm both thrilled and honored to be a part of Sequential Heart, as I believe strongly in helping children who have been deprived of a home, regardless of the reason,"

We here at PK are all for a noble cause and wish to congratulate Tommy, Rachel, and Dean for their efforts. Best of luck in your endeavor!

For more information on how to volunteer, send an email to: volunteers@sequentialheart.org and be sure to check their upcoming website for the latest info.

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
