Daily Comic Representation (Current Month: Pride)

Welcome to Comic Visibility, where we post near daily examples of comic representation/diversity for each heritage/identity month. Posts start tomorrow for Pride! Check out the strawpage and read on for more information! comicvisibility.straw.page #comictwt #dctwt #marveltwt

The 2nd queer comic character of the day is Gwen Poole / Gwenpool from Marvel, who is aroace! Gwen has starred in her own solos, such as The Unbelievable Gwenpool and Gwenpool Strikes Back. She came out as aroace in Love Unlimited #48, as part of an arc that began in #43.

@LetsTalkTommie When I looked her up, sources pointed to 2022 as the first time it was directly confirmed. I am not familiar with the Legion, so my apologies if that’s not correct!

@comicvisibility We’re not counting The Lightning Saga? Or was that too vague?

The queer comic character of the day is Dawnstar from DC, who is bisexual! Dawnstar was confirmed bi in DC Pride 2022. She’s a mainstay in the Legion, appearing in Legion of Super-Heroes 1980, 1984, and 1989, among many other Legion books.

The queer comic characters of the day are Grace Choi and Anissa Pierce / Thunder from DC, who are bisexual and lesbian, respectively. They both starred in Outsiders (2003), Vixen: NYC, and Black Lightning (2025).

Monsters in Love: A Pride Anthology is now available in comic shops! Details: bit.ly/49Dm4u5 This anthology includes ten new standalone stories blending horror and romance in the style of classic EC Comics anthologies by fan-favorite LGBTQIA+ creators! By @JamesTheFourth, Tate Brombal, Isaac Goodhart, and many more. With covers from V. Gagnon, @knifesystem, and Ryan Sigh. With @ReadTinyOnion

The second queer comic character of the day is Connor Hawke / Green Arrow from DC, who is asexual. While coded for a while, he came out in DC Pride 2022. He also stars in Green Arrow (1987) #91-137.

Happy Pride!

The queer comic character of the day is Loki Laufeyson from Marvel, who is genderfluid and bisexual. Journey into Mystery (2011) > Young Avengers (2013) > Loki: Agent of Asgard is the trilogy introducing this more heroic characterization of Loki.

A Newsarama article - seemingly only on Internet Archive now - includes a question directed at writer Cornell who emphasizes it's down to reader interpretation. The only term he uses for Ystin is transgender.

Ystin was introduced in Seven Soldiers: Shining Knight and also appears in Demon Knights (2011). An article about Ystin and their identity can be found here at Comic Alliance. comicsalliance.com/demon-knights-…

The queer comic character of the day is Sir Ystin from DC, who is trans. Ystin's specific identity is intentionally left up for interpretation by the author. Fans have viewed Ystin as nonbinary, genderfluid, trans-masc, genderqueer, and/or intersex, along with other identities.

Reminder that you can send submissions for any month to the Strawpage, just specify which one. Any questions or comments can also be sent there ^^ comicvisibility.straw.page

We're a week into pride month! All the love to our fellow queer siblings, especially those who can't celebrate for a variety of reasons.

The live action movie is on Youtube! youtube.com/watch?v=RzrO1s…

The kickstarter allows late pledges and has tiers for the comic and an art book, but I'm unsure when you would receive it. kickstarter.com/projects/rocke… The comic can be found on Tapas, though it seems only the first part is translated to English. tapas.io/episode/1344675

Today's queer comic character of the day is the Filipino hero ZsaZsa Zaturnnah / Ada, who is a gay man who can turn into a superheroine due to a magic stone. Not only a comic character, Zsazsa also has a liveaction movie and upcoming animated movie. There is also a kickstarter.

@OSEC___ “Put a transexual lesbian on the Supreme Court”

@comicvisibility Does that say "Puta Transexual" ?????

That both Vertigo and Milestone introduced the first trans heroes in the same year is a testament to how important these imprints were for the evolution of comics. They pushed comics forward in a way that few - or perhaps no - other imprints / initiatives have.

@Hawkmanfan12 here ;) docs.google.com/document/d/1wm…

The queer comic character of the day is Julio "Ric" Richter aka Rictor from Marvel, who is gay! He was introduced in X-Factor (1986) #17. In X-Factor (2006) #45, Rictor and Shatterstar had the first explicitly romantic gay kiss in Marvel.

everyone read the Everything Dead and Dying mini-series this pride month if you want to emotionally devastate yourself
