There is a lot to love about being Colombian. From lively parties to regular family gatherings to just spending time with friends. But despite this overwhelmingly positive atmosphere, my childhood was actually far from happy. As I got older and became more self-aware, it became harder to connect with my Colombian family members, and it all boiled down to one simple fact: I am a Colombian person who identifies as bisexual and non-binary.

“I’ll just have to be someone else.”
Sophie Campbell began a high-octane storyline for Kara Zor-El in Supergirl #1 that makes numerous callbacks to her Silver Age history. Apart from being a delightful love letter to Kara’s fans, Campbell shows no signs of slowing down in Supergirl #2.
Supergirl #1 focused on restoring the titular heroine’s classic status quo, which was definitely needed for the Girl of Steel after DC Comics struggled for some time to get her back on her feet.

James Gunn’s Superman is easily the most anticipated movie of 2025. This comes in the face of other anticipated hits for the summer box office, such as M3GAN 2.0 and even Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
While M3GAN and the Marvel Cinematic Universe are well-established brands that are popular with moviegoers, it’s hard to imagine that anything will surpass Superman in reaching the $1 billion milestone – a number Warner Bros.

“When I expand this into a full-blown graphic autobiography, I’m going to call it: ‘My Closet Is Full of Comics and Me.'”
DC Comics starts Pride month by going above and beyond what the publisher has done in the past with its celebratory anthologies. Previous anthologies were simply a collection of short stories from LGBTQIA creators featuring DC’s queer characters. As enjoyable as those previous anthologies were, DC Pride 2025 does its boldest creator collaboration yet.

After Wildcat’s death and funeral in JSA #6 and #7, writer Jeff Lemire and guest artist Gavin Guidry devote issue #8, “The Unnamed Ones,” to tell a self-contained story. Set in 1945 just after World War II, “The Unnamed Ones” serves as both a pit stop and as setup for the next storyline. But even without awareness of the larger narrative Lemire is developing, the story is self-contained enough to be easily read on its own. As such, it is completely new reader-friendly.

How important is the Bat Family to Bruce Wayne? What happens when an old foe returns to take them out in the cruelest ways possible? Where does Bruce’s story go from there? Those questions seem to be the focus of the newly-returned Tommy Elliot in Batman: Hush 2. Now three issues in, Hush 2 places a much stronger focus on the Robins – most notably Jason Todd, Dick Grayson, and Damian Wayne. This isn’t surprising, since the Bat Family has gotten a lot bigger since the original Batman: Hush in 2002.
