DC Pride 2025 Issue 1 highlights the importance of continuing to live and fight. It's not a nave comic at all, recognizing the immense struggle that is sadly still being fought across the United States and the wider world. Read Full Review

DC's Pride anthology is always a highlight every year they go all-out, with a massive collection of stories celebrating the company's LGBTQ heroes and creators. But this year they're doing something different the anthology has a central framing story about the DCU's pre-eminent gay bar, almost a century old in Gotham City. Read Full Review

What I loved about DC Pride 2025 was that it wasn't the usual collection of random short stories, but many short stories that all connected with a bigger story arc. With each short story, you could really see the personality of the author peer through the words. For example, you could see a lot of Tim Sheridan in the first story with Alan and Ethan, which I loved because he's wildly talented. Read Full Review

DC Pride 2025 is an ambitious comic with summer crossover energy that tells an epic story with DC's LGBTQ+ characters while still taking time to dig into their individual hopes, fears, and dreams. It's a showcase of queer representation on the page and on the issue's creative teams, and Blake and Sara Soler's memoir is a beautiful coda and rallying cry to continue to be queer and fearless in an increasingly dark and hateful world.

I loved it. "If a comic book retroactively ruins your childhood, your childhood probably sucked." - Abraham Lincoln

You created an account just for this? Triggered is the word all right. It is pretty funny though. Too bad it feels a bit wasted, because the book was terrible. I know that's not the point, but....yeah, terrible.

First of all, I've always been more of an upper body guy, but Alan Scott's lower body on this cover is slammin'! Definite muscle bear vibes. Thank you, Kris Anka. My favorite part of this issue was/were the different visions of what a freer, safer, and/or more inclusive world would look like for each of these characters. I also love the sense of community and shared perseverance. When I see stories of older folks coming out, I sometimes wonder how something so important could be left unacknowledged for so long. So it was great to have Jenny Blake/Tony Isabella let us in on the process of her (their?) late-in-life transition. The last six pages of fans telling their stories lets us know why representation like this is so important. Personally, I don't really have a story of how DC comics helped me in my own queer journey. I was already out long before any of that was being published. But I will say this: Mike Grell drew sexy men, and the cover of Green Lantern 110 made me feel some kind of something even at age 9. If I ever live in a big enough space that I can have a comics room, I'll get that cover blown up and framed. more

Bad art with beyond boring "stories" with no action for 99% of the book. Queer people might actually like to see SOME fighting instead of feeling in their SUPER HERO comics once in a while. Also, I thought Tim Sheridan was all but hurt over DC not supporting his Gay Lantern book and was done with them. I guess not....unfortunately. I think this book is a prime example of how agendas and identity do not really equal talent. Spend some money on quality talent to show you care about a group of people instead of simple lip service at a gouging ten dollar price tag.

Tim Sheridan doesn’t need a pride book to ruin a character. He can do that anytime of the year. Dudes a hack.
