Rather than a series of unconnected stories, this fifth annual DC Pride book will feature a framing story, with different characters having their own episode within it.



From the Press Release:

DC Pride 2025 brings DC’s heroes together when a century-old tavern, the center of queer life in Gotham City, unexpectedly announces its imminent closure. It’s a huge loss to the community, and generations of patrons return to pay respects to a space they’ve endowed with entire lifetimes of memories, wishes and dreams—including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Alan returns, for one last time, to the place he fell for his first love, Johnny Ladd, to touch the wall on which they carved the symbol of their love, to remember the days before everything went to hell for them…and to say goodbye.

But love is a kind of magic, and, in Alan’s experience, magic can take on a life of its own. Before anyone knows it’s happening, heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU with powerful ties to this mysterious place—the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them—find themselves spirited away to strange, alternate worlds where everything they ever thought they wanted can be theirs…but at what cost?

Back when the New52 was launched a big deal was made about Alan Scott, Green Lantern, now being gay.

But the gay Alan Scott was not the one we had known since the 1940's, it was an entirely NEW Alan Scott, so whilst increased representation is a good thing, it felt a lot less significant because of the circumstances...

Infinite Frontiers is changing that )

It's been too long since I did one of these, but this is an example that was too much fun not to share, as I had the pleasure of sort of starting something! :) (plus it makes a nice showcase of an artist I like)

Luciano Vecchio is a professional Argentinian artist whose work on Ironheart has been deeply appealling.

He has a somewhat cartoony style which isn't too common these days (shades of Alan Davis perhaps?), and with a complete lack of fear of actually making comics look brightly coloured.

So when he opened up single-figure commissions, you can imagine who I might have wanted him to have a go at! :) (Yeah, not Robin, though it was tempting... as was a Saint Seiya character (which is still big in Argentina) maybe another time!)

Instead I went for my favourite selfsoulfriends, and bot am I glad I did!



And then it sort of snowballed... or maybe Cannonballed would be a better term :) )

I honestly had trouble with this one. Because in truth? There is more than one character I'd like to see come back from the dead.

The characters I speak of all populated a world that was originally five decades old. They lived on a world where the first superheroes appeared and united during World War II and formed the first superhero team in the history of superhero teams. These were the characters that aged in real time, married, and had families of their own. Their own children eventually took over their jobs as superheroes once they were old and retired or had passed on after a long, fruitful life. Their own legacy even led the arrival of a new generation of superheroes that were more diverse than their predecessors.

I am of course, talking about the pre-Crisis Earth-2 in all its Golden Age glory! )

Hey Guys. I don't know if this qualifies as a legality (is it fan art or a web comic as the artist does seem to post regularly?). I requested a drawing from NotThisCrap on Tumblr (who is fast becoming my FAVORITE artist ever) for my birthday a week ago, and i wanted to share it here,

Happy Birthday to ME! )

(I have never done a txt post this large so if i am doing it wrong please let me know and i will fix it :)

Hey Guys, like most of us, i like using my icons based on what I post. ie Asking a question, i use "The Questions" Postuing Information, i use "Oracle," something snide or 'come and get me-ish' i use one of the Manhunter pics i have....

now, since SOMEBODY posted a horrifying picture of a Spider that was supposed to be "cute" (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE)i have been looking for an immage that shows horror "A character being horrified," it can be genuinely horrifying, or funny horrifying... (there was one i found a while back with Atlee that was pretty funny, she was watching a horror movie with PG, but cant for the life of me find it...) others are cool too, and hey, if you have any other types of emotions that would be cool too.

Angry would be cool too (unless it is a pretty decent pic, trying to stay away from "Lantern" pics, unless, like i said, i t is really good.)

thanks guys.

oh and for legality!



Damon and Todd... i miss them... :( )

I've been a long time lurker of SD for quite some time now (pre-lj eviction included), and the one thing I remember was concern regarding Willingham's future handling of Obsidian.

In fact, one question in particular was brought up.
