LGBT Character Of The Week - Rainmaker

rainmaker.jpg

This weeks character hails from the pages of Gen¹³, from Wildstorm. Sarah Rainmaker, also simply known as Rainmaker, can control the weather and use wind to fly, not unlike the X-Men's Storm.

Rainmaker was originally declared a lesbian, but after some controversy, (and a drunken make-out session with a male teammate), she is now a bisexual. She also exhibits very little shame about her body, not batting an eye at swimming nude in front of her male teammates.

When not fighting the good fight as a superhero, Rainmaker attends protests and likes to lecture her team when they don't live up to her standards. She often attempts more peaceful resolution to conflicts before resorting to violent solutions, on at least one occasion earning the respect of rival team DV8.

Can I just say 'thank god for Gail Simone'. Until she came along Sarah Rainmaker was the worst lesbein since Mary Cheney.

"Oh Lois, you SO don't want to know!"

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]...
