I just went to a panel on LBGT (lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender) superheroes in mainstream comics earlier this morning focusing on queer themes in comics, and needless to say it was very interesting. There are a lot of events in comics that are generally overlooked when it comes to queer superheroes. Perry Moore has actually written a pretty cool article on the subject and rather than really dive into it myself I would suggest reading what he has to say as I’m sure it would be much more eloquent than my snarky musings…

Keep an eye out for Moore’s new novel Hero, a story about a high school student who moonlights as a superhero who just happens to be gay. Near the end of the panel Stan Lee decided to crash and he and Moore announced that there is a… project in the works on Hero.
