Robert Triptow's satire of gay weddings



In the last issue of Roberta Gregory's excellent series Naughty Bits, Robert Triptow writes and draws a hilarious satire of a gay wedding in San Francisco.
Here's my review.

Prism Comics guide and forum



Cover by Joe PhllipsPrism Comics, the organization dedicated to promoting LGBT creators and works, has published its new annual guide, a 128-page pocket-sized and squarebound magazine.
Under a tender and kitschy cover by Joe Phillips, you'll find a year-in-review article (mostly) centered on mainstream queer-inclusive comics, interviews of Phil Jimenez, Alison Bechdel, Andersen Gabrych and José Villarrubia (who also brings the back-cover), as well as 50 pages of comics by Tim Fish (a very good and all-new Cavalcade of Boys story), Leanne Franson, Patrick Fillion, Justin Hall, Kris Dresen, Lynx Delirium, Eric Shanower, Donna Barr, Gina KamentskyMatt Fagan and Robert Kirby. Some are all-new, some are from online strips, and some are previews of upcoming comics, but the variety of style and stories is impressive. The rest of the book is a directory of queer comics creators (and a few queer-friendly straight ones), as well as a partial list of online queer strips and various websites.
This year's guide is a very attractive effort by the Prism team, and I wonder how they'll manage to top it next year. But I trust them.

Also of interest is the Prism Comics site, where you can buy the guide and which has recently been completely redesigned, making it more user-friendly. And they've opened a forum, which I hope will become a rallying place for the lovers of queer-themed comics, including but also beyond the superhero genre.
