(There was a much more laid back version of this tweet In The Drafts but why pretend I have any chill at all when we truly all know better, especially about #DCPRIDE!!!!!!)
SO! Our DC PRIDE 2022🌈 anthology! Over 100 pages of fan-fave LGBTQIA+ characters as realized by all-star LGBTQIA+ talent! This'll get its own thread, but for now?
This year’s anthology ALSO features an introduction from actress, activist, and #DCPride alumnus @NicoleAMaines, who I’ve been lucky enough to work with more closely with this year on some…secret DC plans for the 🔹future🔹 both near and far. 👀👀👀
AND! The 64-page DC PRIDE: TIM DRAKE SPECIAL, collecting ALL of Tim's story from Batman: Urban Legends for the first time PLUS a brand-new story by THE Tim Team, @megfitz89 & @BelenOrtega_!
This one's KEY for where Tim's headed in the DCU...more on that very very very soon! 😉
@megfitz89@BelenOrtega_ THEN! 3 knock-out launches that keep the Pride party going after June.
I get to kick off the week reviewing every glorious page of AQUAMAN: THE BECOMING and FUTURE STATE: AQUAMAN for the collected edition that's off to the printer today!
Thread of some fave moments because I love these books so dang much. First, the #1 issue covers, because DUH.
@DavidTalaski@Sampere_art@fxstudiocolor Kickass Unstoppable Jackson! Self Assured Jackson! Over It Big Brother Jackson! The AQUAMAN: THE BECOMING team blessed our hero with such a wonderful array of emotional expression throughout the series.
We had some super inventive sci-fi elements in this story, brilliantly realized here on this teleportation page by @Koblish and the rest of the art team. Probably one of my favorite pages in the whole series, you can FEEL the crackles of energy leaping off the page.
