LGBT Comic Of The Week: So Super Duper

SoSuperDuperpreview.jpg

After having a doom and gloom filled weekend with the latest DMZ trade and the first DVD (of four) of Lost Odyssey, I found it quite refreshing to read LGBT indie creator Brian Andersen's superhero satire, So Super Duper. The comic stars Psyche, a newly inducted superhero whose powers involve "sensing evil." Yep, that's it. Oh and did I mention he's part of a demented JLA-like team and that he's stuck so far deep into the closet that he's found himself in Narnia? The comic delivers on the comedy, as well as some surprisingly touching scenes. While the main character's introduction may leave you grating your teeth in annoyance, he slowly matures into a likable everyday guy who has great responsibility thrust upon him. The art may not win any awards, but Brian's passion is inherently addictive and you'll soon find yourself wanting to read the next issue. You can order Brian's comic online via his comic's website at http://www.sosuperduper.com/ .

You can also find the comic at the following fine comic shops: Isotope Comics, Whatever..., and Foto-Grafix Books in San Francisco, Hub Comics in Somerville, MA, and Austin Books in Austin, TX.

Don't forget to support other LGBT creators like Brian by visiting Prism Comics. They have a ton of comics for sale, as well as interesting articles and creator profiles. Stay tuned for future collaborations!

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]...
