More than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise being the names of the 2 comics is pretty funny. Maybe they can start a bad guy comic called The Evil Forces of the Decepticons.

Are those TMNT comics based on the new show any good? I like the show, for the record.

This is an odd one, but can someone summarize Superior Foes of Spider Man 15-17 for me? I have up to 14 but have changed my budgeting around so I'm not buying nearly as many comics any more, so i realize I'll probably never finish getting that series. You can spoiler text it if you want.

That recent Vertigo Quarterly CMYK series: was it a one off thing or are they planning on continuing it year after year?

I'm looking for two one-shot horror-ish comic stories that may have come out around 2007-2011 that I read and can't recall the names. The first was about a demonic apocalypse. The main character was a guitarist who inadvertently played a song was a key to summoning the demons, along with an artist who created a new color and two or three other signs. The rest of it was mainly an excuse for some really decent art of demons rampaging around the earth while the heroes tried vainly to escape. In the end the guitarist is given a new guitar to play for the demons. I want to say it was from a South American artist, but I may be wrong on that. The other was vaguely sci-fi. It was about aliens that lived on a planet in our solar system and kept it hidden by noticing when someone on earth detected them, and then moving in to kill the offending human. In the end the main character looks at them, so they come after him, and he activates some device that disintegrates everything in the area. I don't think it was set in the future, and may even have been in the past. Anything would be better than I've been able to find on my own.

Quickest couple of things I could think of: Greg Rucka's Batwoman: Elegy. Sandman had an arc revolving around the tenants of a building that included a lesbian couple and a transgender person. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Feb 20, 2015 |

It's a little more focused on modern books, but someone asked this recently and got a lot of good recommendations. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3611169&pagenumber=36&perpage=40#post441266590 Love and Rockets: Locas if they're into rock and roll (and punk rock). Warning, it takes a little to get going after a pretty lack luster SciFi opening story arc, but has been amazing for 30 years after that.

Inkspot posted:Strangers in Paradise. This. Alison Bechdel's Dykes To Watch Out For (lesbian focused sitcom/slice-of-life soap opera), and her memoir comics Fun Home and Are You My Mother? Stuck Rubber Baby (gay man coming of age in the South during the Civil Rights Movement) There's a ton of cape books, but it seems like even among queer creators, girl/girl is way more popular than male gay/bi/queer characters, if that's what your friend's interested in reading about? The X-Men franchise is always a good bet. Young Avengers, obviously. Kieron Gillen and Terry Moore seem to be pretty good at making an effort in this regard. So're Gail Simone and Marc Andreyko. There's some content in Empowered, but that book's not for everyone, obviously.

Y: The Last Man has some decent LGBT characters. Depending on your taste, there's also Hothead Paisan: Adventures of a Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist. Alan Moore's books usually have some queer folks in them but in the big, well-known stuff they're often dead or seriously oppressed.

If that side of things doesn't bother them, though, Top Ten has some good stuff, especially the prequel.

Watchmen had some really progressive stuff about gay people in it considering it was published in 85, back when saying "homos" was considered a punchline in most standup routines. But yeah, bad things happen to most of them.

Promethea has a few front-and-center same-sex relationships in it, too, as well as an arguably transgendered person. (Two, now that I think of it.) Oh, shouldn't forget Warren Ellis. The Authority has a gay couple as lead superheroes, too.

The Authority has a gay couple as lead superheroes, too. Hell yeah. Along with Ellis' run, volume 2 and Revolution are both great depictations of a gay family. Everything else is skippable. In general. I mean, Millar's run has a few cool moments, but really, those three bits are the only time the Authority was good. And I like the Authority, they just had a too many terrible runs.
