I feel reasonably safe in speaking for all gay men that the last thing in the world we wanted was rainbow-striped and pink Target mascots as collectible toys.
I’m about fifty years too young to get excited about Doc Savage merchandise, but the rarity of such unapologetic beefcake in nerd merchandise is note-worthy.
I love JH Williams. I love Kate Kane.
I don’t need to know that she forgot to wear a sports bra under her costume.
That’s a bit more “nipple outline” than I need on my covers.
Yes. More of this sort of thing, please.
For that matter, more super-heroes should be sporting the 70s gay-porn ‘stache as well.
Seriously, can you picture Bruce Wayne rocking that look? It would be like Burt Reynolds in a tux. Fantastic.
Dark Reign: Lethal Legion
When Norman Osborn takes over, what happens to the villains who don’t make his short list of acceptable allies? Grim Reaper, Mr. Hyde, Absorbing Man, Nekra, and Man-Ape are about to find out when their cooperative of crime lands on the wrong side of Norman’s law – but they’re not going down without a fight.
That set-up sounds extremely familiar, but I can’t quite put my finger on why…
If nothing else, one good thing came of the X-Men movies. By casting Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, it gave artists an excuse to finally give us some sexy drawings of Wolverine, and this Salvador Larroca variant cover for Wolverine: Weapon X is a fantastic example of that trend.
Hercules: Prince Of Power
The Warren Ellis written Wolfskin books
Sigh…no.
(And if you think that’s bad, be grateful I didn’t inflict the Sarah Palin cover on you.)
A comic book biography of Ludwig II of Bavaria? Intriguing.
A comic book biography of Ludwig II of Bavaria that addresses his sexuality? Very intriguing.
A comic book biography of Ludwig II of Bavaria in a yaoi style so that all the gay men are wispy androgynes? Er…
A new set of WWE trading cards reminds me that it’s been awhile since we played one of our favorite games:
Gay Porn or Pro Wresting?
The second wave of Torchwood action figures includes Captain John and Ianto figures. This is the most sexually ambiguous toy-line ever.
You have no idea how happy I am they finally hired an attractive model for these costume ads.

Seconding the recommendation for the Hercules hardcover. Those are some fantastic comics. Would have liked to seen the inclusion of Layton’s Herc graphic novel and his Herc serial from Marvel Comics Presents…but then we’d have a $50 or $60 hardcover, and that’s no good. Maybe a second collection if this first one sells well?
Wait, is that Brandon Routh modeling those shirts?
“A comic book biography of Ludwig II of Bavaria in a yaoi style so that all the gay men are wispy androgynes? Er…”
You probably know this already, but just in case anyone comes along and gets confused: There’s no real identifiable yaoi art style in general, and Yuu/You Higuri in specific does pretty mainstream shoujo art. They’re “wispy androgynes” because that’s the type that’s appealing to young Japanese women, not because they’re supposed to be gay as such (her straight boys aren’t any manlier). If Higuri had drawn Ludwig to look like Mr Jackman, the series would have sunk like a rock in Japan and no-one would be trying to license it for the US.
Now Tagame Gengorou doing a biography of Ludwig, that would be… interesting. And probably unpublishable over here.
Ah, Dorian, someday, in the future, you might miss me a little…or not.
But for now, there’s this:
I like Doc Savage, but mainly because the only thing I’ve read with him in it was the hotcha Philip Jose Farmer book with Tarzan.
Why not wrestling and gay porn? http://www.nakedkombat.com/site/?c=1
