À propos de cet audio

DC Comics is lighting up the comic world with explosive Pride 2026 announcements, centering on two breakout queer heroes: Galaxy and Dreamer. Kicking off April 29 with Justice League Intergalactic Special #1, these cosmic besties team up against a Witch Queen draining dream energy from planet Naltor. Co-written by Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines, with stellar art by Travis Moore, it bridges DC's YA and mainline universes—Galaxy's now a full Justice Leaguer, while Dreamer's reeling from her "war criminal" rep post-Absolute Power. Their friendship gets tested hard, as Axelrod teases: can it survive wildly different paths?

The action ramps up May 5 with Galaxy: As the World Falls Down, the YA graphic novel sequel to the rave-reviewed The Prettiest Star. Taylor "Galaxy" Barzelay battles the Vane empire, juggles teen superhero life, trans identity, and post-high-school angst alongside Dreamer. Critics called the original "effervescent and poignant," packed with queer romance and talking dogs—expect more glowing cosmic vibes from Axelrod and artist Rye Hickman.

May 25 drops DC Pride: The Heart Wants, a hardcover collecting 2025's Pride one-shot tales by talents like Tim Sheridan and Vita Ayala. Then Pride Month explodes June 2026 with Justice League: Dream Girls, a four-issue miniseries. Maines and Axelrod plunge the duo into temptation on the Key, where effortless perfection challenges their hard-won queer joy. Bonus eight-page stories spotlight Batwoman by Greg Rucka, Poison Ivy by G. Willow Wilson, and more Green Lantern action. Pride variants jazz up Batwoman #4 and Emperor Aquaman #18 too. Editor Andrea Shea calls it the "culmination" of years of queer storytelling woven into DC's core.

Meanwhile, convention fever builds for comic fans. Planet Comicon Kansas City hits March 27-29 at the massive Kansas City Convention Center—one of the US's biggest pop culture bashes. Grab memberships early for panels, guests, and off-site perks; kids 7 and under are free. Remote pickup starts March 26 at local comic shops. Just days away, it's prime for hero meetups and cosplay chaos.

Fresh off shelves this week (March 18), AIPT Comics crowns Lobo #1 the top read, with Moon Knight #2, The Sentry #1, Ultimates #22, and Dead Teenagers #1 rounding out the fantastic five. X-Men fans note Sorcerer Supreme #4 hyping Wanda Maximoff's immortality twist. As spring cons and Pride prep collide, comic books are serving friendship, fights, and fabulous futures—grab your cape and dive in!
