This morning on The View, the panel was given the great honor of being the first to announce Marvel’s most important wedding in years! In Astonishing X-Men 50, out this week, we will be seeing Northstar’s (Jean-Paul Beaubier) proposal to longtime boyfriend Kyle. Thank you Marjorie Liu, Marvel, and the great state of New York! Be sure to follow along in the book, it’s been a solid run so far.

Here is a FANTASTIC commission we got from they very talented Robert Wilson IV at this past weekend’s 2012 Dallas Comic Con! He will match our Wiccan piece perfectly!

That adorable Doctor Who piece up there is from none other than Josh Adams, multi-talented illustrator and inker well known for his work on IDW’s Doctor Who and his contributions to the Astonishing X-Men motion comics. We had the privilege to interview him briefly at Dallas Comic Con 2012 today and were completely taken with him. Not only were his prints and portfolio eye-catching but one of his current projects, Adam, Eve & Steve (name in progress) is one of the most inventive pitches I’ve heard in years.

Essentially, the biblical story remains much the same with Adam & Even being created for each other but the quintessential couple is thrown a curveball when a time-lost guy from the future (Steven) finds his way into the Garden of Eden and becomes the cause of some sexual awakening in our first man. Such a simple and intriguing line already has me hooked but there is no definitive start date at this point, sadly.

That shouldn’t stop you from checking out the homepage for the comic and bugging the heck out of the creators with your love until they get this great concept in motion! Be sure to check out Josh’s Doctor Who continuing series artwork as well (and check the handsome man himself out below).

The Variants have reached their season 3 goal of 6 episodes, but wouldn’t you rather have TEN glorious episodes to watch! With so many different thank you gifts at the varying pledge levels, there is no reason not to! PLEDGE HERE on their Kickstarter page, and check out the vid below as Ken and Richard from The Variants give you an update!

George Takei has gone where no man has gone before. He’s been a Japanese internment camp survivor, a swashbuckling star-ship pilot, a civic do-gooder, a fanboy peace-broker, and a booming voice for marriage equality. He’s more than just a star on the Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk. George Takei is a positive force for good in the universe! There’s no one quite like him in American pop culture and we want to pay homage his work, life, and handsome face.

Geeks OUT is holding its big annual fundraiser with a night of artwork inspired by everyone’s favorite gay sci-fi icon. Would you like to donate artwork? Send an email to submissions@geeksout.org. 

But regardless of whether you’re an artist or not, please join us for this big and geeky celebration.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Geeks OUT, an organization out to rally and represent the growing community of comics and sci-fi fans who are queer. Geeks OUT holds monthly social events and establishes a queer-positive presence at comic conventions. For more information, visit www.geeksout.org.

Would you like to volunteer to help out with the event? Contact Joey at info@geeksout.org.

But alas, it is nice to see more LGBT diversity in the Marvel universe. And speaking of, hello lady Lightspeed [Julie Power] putting the B back in LGBT. Let us not forget those who love who they love and defy those who tell them to “choose a side” within our gay umbrella of a community. I certainly hope this new outing will make his character less obnoxious and bring a new leading gay female character into the forfront of comics again (How I miss Runaways).  Striker reminds me of if Niel Patrick Harris and Tony Stark had a baby. HUZZAH!

Ultimate Comics X-Men will be written by Nick Spencer and  drawn by Paco Medina.  The series will relaunch continuing with the continuity that has already been established in the Ultimate universe.  This title will have the feel of “Days Of Future Past” where mutants are becoming extinct, and are hunted down by order of the government. The X- Roster will consist of Kitty Pryde, Storm, Colossus, Iceman, Jimmy Hudson, Johnny Storm, Liz Allan and Karen Grant aka Jean Grey.  Rogue will also be a big part of this title, which it has been stated that this is a Rogue and Kitty focused book.  September is going to be a great month for comics with the release of Batwoman and now the relaunch of Ultimate X-Men.

 Exciting no?

 Well, we DON’T know. Not yet anyways. There is a pre-show, show tonight at the Dallas Theater Center at 8p.m. for all of those in the DFW area. GO check it out if you can. Do you think you  will you get another chance to see superman in tights singing his heart out without going to the gayborhood?  Nope, we didn’t think so either.

Wiser words have never been printed.

In any case of course this isn’t a gossip blog, but when one of our favorite X-Men movie actresses lets the world know [and so nonchalantly I might add] that she’s a fan of the Gyne-er things in life, well hell, how can we not blog about it! Plus she’s so damn zexy when she’s southern!

At Mutant A Day we love men [women too..] but you better freak’n believe we love men! And we also love to show it…[whiiiink!]

Blondes have more fun

However, if we just spent our time giving you pics of hotties with hairy chests [fictional or otherwise] we may, in fact, have to quit our day jobs.

Luckily for us there are sites like Shirtless Superheroes & french site Chest of Chests to satisfy our necessity for non-sapphic satisfaction!

If you haven’t been keeping up with NBC’s Heroes then it’s time to jump on that metahuman band wagon! This season there are so many great story lines, but the most interesting to us here at MaD is the Is she or isn’t She? plot surrounding Claire Bennet’s sexuality. We smell a lez-bot, and are excited about the possibility. Do you think Miss Bennet is a shoe-in for scissoring?  

The most exciting part of our venture was catching up with Richard, Joe and Keli from Zeus Comics to talk about their new web series The Variants which you can catch on their Youtube site!

It makes our nether-regions shed a tear [whiink] of joy for this comic-nerd centric show about a group of comic-shop clerks and the daily grind[s] that come with it. Check out the interview!

We look forward to the new episodes and are lucky to have some home town super heroes who’ll bring the funny along with excellent customer service!

-Mutant A Day

This Female Crimefighter is a triple threat.

1. She’s a Red Head, POW!

2. She’s Jewish, OY ZING!

3. She’s a lesbian, SMACK!

The original Batwoman was created as a love interest for Batman to knock down the allegations that Batman and Robin were fucking gay.  She constantly had to be rescued by Batman and her weapons were disguised as cosmetics dildos and jewelry. This character was later killed off in Detective Comics #485 and her existance is erased due to the first crisis.

Katherine (Kate) Kane comes from as wealthy and prestigious a family as Bruce Wayne and whatever he does not own the Kane family does.  She is a lipstick-ish lesbian and made her first appearance in the pages of the mini series 52.  She not only keeps her identity a secret but her non stop pussy pounding sexuality a secret as well. YEOWWZA!

Batwoman operated as Gotham’s protector while Batman, Robin and Nightwing were MIA (no, not the singer) after the most recent crisis.  In 52 you learn that she has an on-and-off-again realtionship with the kick-ass cop Detective Montoya ( y’all might remember her from the animated series). She “assisted” Montoya in solving a mystery involving the use of one of the Kane family’s warehouses.  Montoya is not the only one that favors Kate, Nightwing has a crush on her as well and even welcomes her into the bat family by giving her an official orgaszm batarang.  You can currently see her in Final Crisis: Revelations #3.

I think Batwoman is a great representation for the GLBT community.  I hope that eventually she gets her own series, that would be a huge break through for D.C.!!!  I give D.C. props for giving some diversity to their comics but I’m still waiting for a high profile gay male character! All the gay men are minor side characters or lesser known villians.

Check the photos if you’re not on the up-and-up with Batwoman! Enjoy!

Today is all about Warren Worthington III also known as Angel from the X-Men.  Currently Angel has his own mini-series called Angel: Revelations which is a FIVE, count em’, FIVE part mini-series about Warren in his prep-school days and his mutant ability coming to fruition at the height of his popularity.

If you haven’t kept up, go out and get the back issues! SPOILER ALERT!

Warren in Angel:Revelations

After Warren’s  wings come out of the closet his back and he learns to fly, he soon realizes that his gay best friend Andrew (who happens to be in love with him) is being fondled by the resident catholic priest spiritual advisor.

No, Warren isn’t a mo’ in this series, but his open mindedness of Andrew’s assumed obvious homosexuality and his willingness to do whatever it takes to keep him safe against bullies, priests and school fires is refreshing on Marvel’s part. Big PROPS to Writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Artist Adam Pollina for creating a story that rocks and art that feels like mutant-couture.

It’s orgazzzzmic!
