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 a[...]

This Pride Month has seen a little bit of controversy in the world of comics, but it's not all doom and gloom Pride is a time for the LGBTQ community to stand for their rights, equality, and thoughtful representation, as well as a time to remember the struggles we've gone through to get 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 rather, the[...]

In a tweet and press release entitled "CHAYKIN'S THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA SPARKS INDUSTRY CONVERSATION", Image Comics responded to the controversy raised last week surrounding Howard Chaykin's The Divided States of Hysteria. The use of "conversation" seems a little trite in this instance — while the comic certainly got people talking, it was pretty much all about the[...]

We've discussed, seemingly at length, about the controversy surrounding Howard Chaykin's latest work, the Image Comics release The Divided States of Hysteria; its inclusion of graphic trans panic violence, released on the first week of Pride Month and even with the option of a Pride Month variant cover, and Image Comics lack of response or[...]

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 of tumblr, twitter and Instagram to rise as an unlikely queer icon. This Pride Month, the first since the mistake and meme began, saw[...]

Well, what an interesting start to Pride Month it's been so far in the world of comics From the controversies with artist Berliac to Howard Chaykin and Image Comics on The Divided States of Hysteria, what more could there be in the first week? Popping outside of comics for a moment, clothing store Abercrombie & Fitch came[...]

It's been an interesting first week of Pride Month for comics Early in the week, in fact pretty much kicking it off, came news that Drawn & Quarterly had cancelled a book, Sadbøi, by artist Berliac due to a historic transphobic essay and comments that were brought to light. Now, on new comic day of the[...]

Howard Chaykin's new series, The Divided States of Hysteria, which Chaykin previously bragged 'may very well get me arrested in the good ol' USA' contains some incredibly distasteful things. Colour me surprised. The first issue of the comic came out this week — the first week of Pride Month —  and features a graphic, violent attack on[...]

As we previously reported, Image Comics will be releasing eleven variant covers in June, celebrating the LGBTQ community and the progress made by the Gay
