Angry Puppy video blog 24: New York Comic Con, news for gay metal heads and more!

This week, Marc and Lee talk about their visit to Comic Con in New York (which had more attendees than there are survivors on Batttlestar Galactica!), news for gay metalheads, domestic partner benefits for super heroes, Manazon, their final uncensored thoughts on Torchwood's second season and a whole lot more! Watch now!

The Week in Gay Geek: NYCC news, "Caprica" rules, Batman's finishing move and more!

  • Global Viz:
    As expected, there were a good number of announcements at the New York Comic Con last weekend, but the ones that floored me involved manga publisher Viz working with western creators. First off, Stan Lee will be writing a series for Jump SQ magazine (a Japanese manga magazine published by Viz’ parent company) with Shaman King creator Hiroyuki Takei, Ultimo. With that team, it sounds like a sure bet Ultimo will make a quick hop to our side of the pond.
    However, the bigger news to me is the announcement that Viz is planning on publishing original graphic novels. I’m feeling pretty hopeful about this initiative, when Viz’ competitor Toykopop started publishing their “global manga”, we got some great gay-inclusive titles like OffBeat, Steady Beat and the incredible 12 Days. Then again, Tokyopop was publishing titles like Fake and Gravitation long before they started accepting submissions. (And I’m having trouble of thinking of any Viz titles with gay characters, aside from The Gentlemen’s Alliance Cross.)

  • Hughes Vogues:
    Easily, the most buzzed-about piece of swag from the NYCC was this promotional fashion magazine-inspired poster featuring the Women of the DC Universe by Adam Hughes. I am just in awe of this piece, especially how you can identify most of these characters through the personality they display on paper and with subtle clues to their trademark costumes in the different gowns. Can you identify who’s who without checking the caption?


    From left to right: Catwoman, Oracle, Zatanna, Black Canary, Power Girl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batwoman, Vixen, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn

    I’m pretty pleased to see Batwoman is a part of the group. Considering how many times her solo series has been put off, I’m happy to see some acknowledgment of Ms. Kane.
    The poster has inspired Johanna Draper Carlson to announce a contest (timing and prizes TBA) for someone to do a version featuring the men of the DCU. Do you have a feel for how Dick Grayson or Kyle Rayner would wear a suit differently?

  • Time for a catnap:
    In other news of lesbians in the DC Universe, DC announced at the NY Comic Con that the GLAAD award-winning title, Catwoman would be ending. Considering how this has been one of DC’s most mainstream queer-inclusive titles since it began, that’s disappointing to hear (though isn’t Holly off being a goddess – literally – these days?). On the other hand, another lesbian-inclusive series, The Secret Six, will be making a return with Gail Simone continuing to handle the concept. Under Simone’s pen, we got a Secret Six that was run by Scandal Savage and a newly hunkified Catman, I hope that continues:

    Which brings this bulletpoint full circle.

  • Spending your gay geek dollars:
    You might have noticed a story in the news about GLAAD pulling out of a San Diego Pride event at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in your news reading this week but I thought it would be worth bringing up to gay geeks that the Manchester Grand Hyatt is a popular option for those attending ComicCon. I know a hotel room for ComicCon is harder to get nowadays than a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special, but would knowing about Manchester’s stances make you pause about getting a room at his hotel?

    After the break, find out which classic BBC sci-fi series might be getting a revamp, check out the trailer for Mortal Kombat vs. the DC Universe and more!

Geek Talk video blog: Episode 5

This week the darling duo (that's Marc and Lee, for those of you just joining the program) gab about topics ranging from Futurama, Southland Tales, Torchwood, Battlestar Galactica: Razor, and more ... brought to you by Quizno's!

Okay, not really. But when you watch it, all will become clear ... including the identity of the Mystery Guest in the bunnyhug pictured above. The guys also feature a few of their favorite new geek-related websites. Shirtless superheroes? Sign me up!

To Make a Long Story Short ... Queersighted goes dark, Scrubs is gay, and more!

  • QueerSighted, AOL's LGBT site, has been shuttered amidst insinuations of homophobia and political maneuvering from the former staff. We hear ya, guys ... these Logo people? Total 'phobes.
  • Queerty found this odd Gay Heritage video ("brought to you by Yellowpages.travel and SearchBoth.com") that includes Barry Manilow and Anderson Cooper in its gay celeb photo montage. Thanks, guys. Break my mother's heart TWICE, why don'cha?
  • Scrubs is already the gayest show without an actual gay character as last week's episode proved yet again. Not only did we have our usual allotment of gay cracks (as always, not anti-gay) but we also got this pretty hot reenactment of Tom Cruise's underwear scene from Risky Business.
