But we at Comicosity thought it would also be great to identify where the creator-owned and independent market was knocking LGBT representation out of the park - TODAY. It’s easy for us to point at DC Comics’ five queer-led titles ( Midnighter, Constantine: The Hellblazer, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Secret Six) or that its first chapter of the new DC Bombshells digital-first title starred a lesbian couple. Well, guess what? There’s a whole lot of creative teams in the comic market producing “legitimate” queer representation.

Since then, two Marvel executives retweeted a Gamergate supporter mocking LGBT fan concerns and another stated openly on his own Tumblr blog that the company is waiting for a creative team to “show up, and feel legitimate.” This concern crescendoed with the stone cold declaration that a character who had been identified as bisexual by previous writer Greg Pak - in Incredible Hercules and on his own blog - was now straight.

Without any visible LGBT leads for their All-New All-Different relaunch in the fall, Marvel Comics has given its queer fans a lot to think about. It’s been a very challenging week for LGBT comic fans.
