When it was Northstar, it made front-page headlines worldwide. A decade later, Apollo and Midnighter also got their fair share. By the time Alan Scott and Iceman were revealed as gay characters, it made the inside pages. Maybe this will be the last of those headlines to run? Let's see.

Because in Teen Titans Annual, published today, we have a new character go up against the Teen Titans called Joystick. And because this is written by Adam Glass, you get to acknowledge all the obvious innuendos. And even a Fortnite gag, as he takes control of Djinn.

Hilarious. But this also gets the chance for Joystick to understand what Djinn thinks and feels. And says it out, openly.

Djinn is all about Damian Wayne. Something that doesn't sit well with Crush. Who has already had to deal with Roundhouse's unwanted affections.

Is this to be the start of some revelation about Crush, Lobo's daughter? Because over in the Valentine's Day-themed Mysteries Of Love In Space 80-Page Giant #1 from DC Comics, there's another scene…

Obviously, things go pear-shaped something sharpish.
