High Five! Top Ten! – Most Important Gay Moments in Comics

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: June 14, 2010

Over the past couple months, some people have been going batshit crazy over the fact that Kevin Keller (who is – wait for it – GAY) transferred to Riverdale High to spend eternity in high school with Archie and the gang. Granted, this is a big step for a property that allowed Spire Christian Comics [...]

“Hey, Rob, what are you reading?” “Oh, I just picked up all the trades for Animal Man. Seems like a pretty good book.” “Wait… That’s a comic book… Forget it, I’ll be over here jerking off to James Joyce.” There are so many uppity people who I’ve tried to get to read comics who turn [...]

High Five! Top Ten! – Heroes What Ain’t Got No Powers

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 31, 2009

Before we get there, I know what complaints I’m gonna get. “Where’s Bruce Wayne? The Spirit? Tony Stark?” Well, not here.
