Prominent gay comic book creator, activist and commentator, Andy Mangels, has shared a few words with Bleeding Cool over the passing of fellow comics creator Howard Cruse yesterday, at 75, after being diagnosed with cancer. Mangels writes in Memorium about Andy's life, his world and planned future projects that still may see fruition HOWARD CRUSE: […]
A science-fiction vampire in a mankini may a) be the last thing a standard member of what has been dubbed the Moral Majority (though both words seem to have been redefined somewhat) may want to pick up, or b) the first thing, depending on your outlook on human nature. But let's see shall we? Today's […]
Berger Books, Karen Berger's imprint from Dark Horse Comics is publishing a new Peter Milligan comic book, Tomorrow, a new five-issue series for February, drawn by Jesús Hervas with colours by James Devlin.

In May 2012, Bleeding Cool broke the story that DC Comics was to announce that one of their classically established characters was to be recreated as a gay character in their New 52 reboot universe. And that it would be an iconic male character. We then heard that it would be Alan Scott, the original […]
***UPDATE*** So FXX just uploaded a different teaser with a clear difference. Hmmm…new video below… He dealt with his Dennis (Glenn Howerton) issues with a sex doll. He helped The Gang escape. He found an interesting new way to "elevate" Dee (Kaitlin Olson). He beat a bunch of kids to near-death with Charlie (Charlie Day). […]
Leave it to FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to take something as simple as the format of a Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press event and give it that "special" Paddy's Pub touch. Taking the stage on Friday, Sunny cast members Charlie Day, Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, and Kaitlin Olson addressed the "massive" outbreak […]
Remember some time ago when the Babadook made a surprising turn as a new gay icon, appearing everywhere from the RuPaul's Drag Race Season Finale to Pride parades and marches the world over? Well, it seems the shadowy horror of queer fabulousness has found himself love…in the arms of fear-feeding demon from beyond reality and […]
Iceman has hit its stride now; this much is obvious. The last few issues have been powerful, fun, incredibly deep, and full of heart — none more so than the new Iceman #5. Iceman #5 picks up where the last issue left off, with Bobby Drake having finally come out to his parents. They are […]
Seeming to hit the airwaves today is news that everyone seems to be reporting as Thor: Ragnarok, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe instalment and third Thor film, will contain the MCU's very first queer character, in the form of alien member of the Warbound, Korg. The film takes place on Sakaar, and is taking a […]
The first panel I went to at Nine Worlds was presented Dr Katherine Hubbard who has been examining the use and understanding of the Rorschach Test in modern culture - and how Watchmen has played a major role in that.
When it was first announced, a year or so ago, that Captain America was going to have big headlining news, some people seized on the possibility that Captain America may be getting a boyfriend. Instead, the reveal was that he'd been a sleeper agent for decades for the fascist organisation Hydra, which led to the […]
Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield has claimed that he's a gay man right now, because he's been watching RuPaul's Drag Race to get into character for his role in play Angels in America. Well, a gay man, but "without the physical act." Because, you know, that's all it takes: watching hours of reality television. It's got […]
Well, there's not much Pride Month left for 2017, but ComiXology have the perfect deal to help you celebrate the last few days of LGBTQ+ acceptance, remembrance and excellence with a special Pride sale on various indie LGBTQ books and titles. You have until the end of June to take advantage of this incredible sale, […]
So we all know Iceman is gay now. Even Stan Lee does, these days. First Jean Grey read the mind of the young Bobby Drake and outed him to himself that he was gay. And no, not bi, all the way gay. And then young Bobby Drake told old Bobby Drake that since his younger […]
It's Pride Month, and we here at Bleeding Cool have covered the discussions, conflicts, and LGBTQ creators and projects that we found inspiring to date. But what of the new and rising LGBTQ voices in comics now? Which creators do we think are going to be making waves in the time to come? Well, here […]
Happy Pride Month everyone! Yup, Chinese censors have removed what was, admittedly, a rather odd part from the recent new addition to the Alien saga, Ridley Scott's Alien Covenant. Now, it doesn't seem that the franchises first gay couple were removed from the film, as they were barely in the film anyway after all. But […]
The Babadook is a gay icon now. Okay, took me a while to understand this one, but now I am fully behind it. Stemming from a hilarious mistake on Netflix's part, when they wrongly categorised the film as LGBT interest in late 2016, Jennifer Kent's The Babadook slowly built as a meme on the likes […]
This is something that's been VERY long overdue at Marvel. While the company has made an effort to diversify and have included LGBTQ+ characters in various team books or as supporting characters, they haven't featured any gay characters in their own solo ongoing book. The closest would be Daken, a bisexual man, during Dark Reign, […]
