Wow! His art is beautiful.

Awesome 🖼 work

Is Nightwing gay?

How does this relate to Brenton Thwaites?

Honey, EVERYTHING relates to Brenton Thwaites.

It looks like in the OP's link he's even drawn Dick Grayson to look like Thwaites.

[quote]Is Nightwing gay?

Unfortunately not officially, but I think in many fans' head canon he's bi. He can be pretty flirty with Midnighter (who's gay).

Nevertheless, he's still DC's male sex symbol par excellence.

I can't keep up with all the DC reboots. Is Nightwing a twink these days? I thought the whole point was that he was an adult now.

[quote]I can't keep up with all the DC reboots. Is Nightwing a twink these days? I thought the whole point was that he was an adult now.

DC is a mess, I feel the time between 'Crises' gets shorter and shorter. Anyway... canonically, Nightwing seems to remain in his mid-20s perpetually and acts as a twunky big brother to the whole Bat Family.

Apparently, during the New 52 run, it was stated he was born in 1991.

A really nice Wonder Woman cover

Random Superman question but has Clark's son with Lois Lane from Superman Returns been made canon in the comic books?

Too few ass shot of the male character

I think superman looked the handsomest and most "lifelike" with artist Jim Lee... If I ever wanted to look like a superhero come to life, I would want to look like how he drew Superman...

of course, i love the gay comic art of the "HUN" series, barbaricbrawn.com, the incredible david blue eyed beast man of steel artwork, patrick fillion and so on...

R14 hmm Superman's got some competition.

[quote]Random Superman question but has Clark's son with Lois Lane from Superman Returns been made canon in the comic books?

Not exactly. In the comics, post-Crisis to Flashpoint (so, 1986-2011) Superman is married to Lois Lane and had a son, whom they named Jonathan Samuel Kent. Through Multiverse shenanigans, this Superman + Family ended up in another version of Earth (Prime-Earth), where the native Superman had just died. So, post-Crisis Superman took over.

Later, 11-year-old Jon Kent went on a trip with his mad, time-traveling grandfather Jor-El, during which he became trapped in a dimension where he was tortured by an evil version of his father for several years. When he finally managed to escape and return to Prime-Earth, he was about 17 years old, while only 3 weeks had passed for his parents. Fans hated the aging-up...

I always liked Wiccan and Hulkling.

Nightwing has always been the prettiest boy in DC.

[quote]I always liked Wiccan and Hulkling.

Then, you'll probably enjoy this portrait.

Mikel Janin drew some very sexy Dick Grayson during his superspy phase.

For example.

R1 is very retro. It sort of reminds me of one of those "soap opera" comics like [italic]Rex Morgan, M.D., Apartment 3-G,[/italic] and [italic]Mary Worth.[/italic]

[quote]*chef's kiss*

Jesus Christ you are retarded.

R34, it's a shame that there isn't a bigger selection for that in American comics today (except some indie formats). I guess this specific niche has been overtaken by Japanese and Korean manga.

There was a time when superhero comics almost died out because people were more interested in romance, horror, and western comics...

[quote]is very retro. It sort of reminds me of one of those "soap opera" comics like Rex Morgan, M.D., Apartment 3-G, and Mary Worth.

"The Human Target" is a current miniseries with a similar feel. Page samples at link.

Thanks for the recommendation, r37. I loved the Vertigo reboot of the character in the early 2000s so i will check this one out. The most character of Christopher Chance is very sexy!

In your opinion, who is the hottest or sexiest or best looking or most handsome superhero?

The hottest DC heroes are Nightwing, Timber Wolf, Mon-el, Arsenal and the silver age Hawkman. Oh, and the hot little green furball Beast Boy. The hottest Marvel heroes are Human Torch, Black Knight, Northstar, Havoc, Rictor and the Winter Soldier. Also Greycrow, as depicted in the recent Hellions run.

I will not be taking questions today.

Just found out that Moore also illustrated a Fables spin-off, named Everafter, with a young, pansexual Conner Wolf.

More Conner Wolf

R42. Hot. And he's Bigby's kid? Nice.

I always liked Bigby.

Thanks, R41, I loved Fables but I missed everafter. I'll be sure to track it down.

All these hot pretty superheroes make me suffer from low self-esteem and trigger suicidal ideation. There should be a Congressional investigation into this, like they did back in the 1950s.

R24 No, perv.

Nightwing has NEVER been a twink.

R28 That made my head hurt.

Dude in R14 looks like Taylor Kitsch.

gotta love the "comics" from the pervy HANDJOBS magazines/books...

Yeah, Travis Moore will do a Tim Drake story in this year's Pride anthology! 🤩

He just makes them all look like Miss Cavill or Froylein.

Tim and Bernard

[quote]He just makes them all look like Miss Cavill or Froylein.

He could do worse. Both are very pretty.

Looks like Prince Harry had some cosmetic procedures.

Comics are for children.

Not Moore, but cute nevertheless!

Holy fuk, Wonder Woman's boyfriend in R14 is hot as hell!

More of him, please.

R14 -- Wow. Any more images of him?

R56 and R57, more of Siggy.

Siegfried

Post-coital

Damsel in distress

Holy interdimensional heroism!

These comics are turning young American boys GAY! This must be stopped and a Congressional investigation must happen!

greatest comic creation in my opinion? the fantastic blue eyed beast david man of steel creation artwork! holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!

R51 Is that canon!?!

Yes, R66, details here:

Very cool, R67. Somehow I'd completely missed this.

[quote]And yes, that means that Tom (sic) Drake fans are going to have to buy all the Batman Urban Legends stories again to get the new direction ahead… as previously teased by Ortega. when she posted on Instagram,

I don't understand what this bit from that article means. Will all the stories be sold in one volume, or will they only be available in separate issues?

The stories thus far will be collected in the Tim Drake Special, but the story will continue to progress in the monthly Batman Urban Legends comic. (Though they too will likely be packaged in trade paperback form at some point.)

MMM. Are we sure those aren't by Josman?

Thanks, R69. I'm definitely pre-ordering the Tim Drake Special tp. Now it makes sense why all the reviews on Amazon for the tp of Batman: Urban Legends say the Robin stuff was cut. DC wasn't being homophobic after all lol.

[quote]MMM. Are we sure those aren't by Josman?

You know, there are some similarities, I agree.

Moore was active around the same time (see his old DeviantArt account "artbytravis" to see pictures from 2005 and onwards), so maybe Josman was an inspiration to him or maybe they are even the same person?

If we are appreciating gay superheroes let's not forget Midnighter and Apollo. The great nod to the Batman/Superman slash community.

Batman and Superman kiss

I love these! Big DC fan here when I was young-- about 84 to 91. Wish there had been this stuff back then!

Why dc refuses to make nightingale and red hood officially bi is beyond me, erryone knows batman diddle them!

[quote] when I was young-- about 84 to 91

Young? How old are you now? 105?

Latex boy

Bat "daddy" and "son"

Sexy!

Batman and Jason Todd (Red Hood) both seemed so incredibly gay on the last season of TEEN TITANS on TV.

Superman: Son of Kal-EL has fallen out of the Top 50--I believe. The Incel comice book crowd is abuzz.

[quote]Superman: Son of Kal-EL has fallen out of the Top 50--I believe. The Incel comice book crowd is abuzz.

Yeah, seems to be ranked 56th last month. Then again, Detective Comics came in at 75...

I hate those stupid incel neckbeards who either complain when established characters come out as gay or bi, saying the publishers should create new characters instead of ruining old ones, then when there is a new character, like Jon Kent, they complain the woke crowd is ruining comics with their "politics."

Still, DC is pushing really hard for newer, more diverse characters to replace the old ones, so some backlash is to be expected. I think it wasn't a good decision not to establish the newer characters in a well-written, relatively stand-alone Teen Titans/Young Justice title.

R83. Surprise, surprise that Incel neckbeards have no idea what they are talking about. They just hate change. I think DC's recent push for diverse characters is great. It's the storytelling that needs to be worked on a bit.

The response to Jon's bf on here wasn't great either. God forbid he be Asian...and with pink hair? Forget about it.

Wholesome boy

R85 I mean...objectively speaking, I can see how they would find his character a little patronizing. It checks a lot of boxes. I'm happy to see ANY representation of color. I'd probably be irked if his love interest looked exactly like him.

I hope they NEVER lose John Timms. His art is so good. I would have had such a crush on Jon Kent when I was younger. Timms is also cute.

There does seem to be an influx of sexy artists drawing sexy characters. Clay Mann, RB Silva, Pepe Larraz, Jorge Jimenez (who's so HOT it's FUCKING unfair)

[quote]Jorge Jimenez (who's so HOT it's FUCKING unfair)

^ Nice! Any relation to Phil Jimenez?

I wonder how many comic artists ARE gay and if they have done art that is x-rated before they got into the comic world?

r88

he is hot. Which artists are gay?

Jorge Jimenez is super hot, but he's also Spanish, so it's impossible to tell whether he's gay or just private.

Woof to every single one of these illustrations.

I don't think he's related to Jose Jimenez either.

I still can't believe I somehow totally missed Tim Drake coming out. I knew about Superman's son, but not Robin. I can't figure that out. 😵‍💫

R95 Huh? What's there to figure out? He said "I think I'm bi"

I can't figure out how I didn't hear about it, R96. I didn't someone miss it as I read the comics lol!

Well, it all happened in Urban Legends, so if you don't read this particular book and missed the headlines (they were soon overshadowed by Jon Kent's coming out), it's not surprising that you missed it.

So confused, so the REAL superman is only found now in the ACTION comics right?....

R99, yes, Superman's/Clark's story is currently continued in Action Comics. He's on Warworld, trying to free the slaves there.

The Superman comic line has been replaced by 'Superman: Son of Kal-El', featuring his teenage son Jon who has taken over Clark's role as protector of Earth.

Forgot to add... I haven't read it yet, but the Warworld arc is supposed to be really good too.

Is it that surprising R95? I thought people had been picking up the vibe from Tim Drake for a while now. Especially with his interactions with Conner.

R102 Agree. Tim clearly wants on Conner's lap.

I'm surprised when I hear that most comic artists aren't gay or at least bi. The male characters are drawn very, very homoerotically and the female characters, while clearly designed to appeal to straight guys, look like a woman as presented to a straight guy by a gay guy. There is a reason so many women's fashion designers are gay men, gay men can make a plain woman attractive to straight men, in a way that other women can't.

R104 I think even men who sincerely identify as straight can have an appreciation of idealized male bodies that is hard to distinguish from lust.

[quote]I still can't believe I somehow totally missed Tim Drake coming out. I knew about Superman's son, but not Robin. I can't figure that out. 😵‍💫

Jon coming out sucked up all the bisexual oxygen in the DCU. Which is a shame. Jon's coming out was very sweet--the issue was titled "Who's Got You?" a reference to the best scene in Superman: The Movie, which predisposed me to love it--but Tim's coming out to himself moved me in a way Jon's didn't.

Lightbulb moment. And lightbulb MARY!

You might enjoy Kevin Wada's work.

Stephen Sadowski(the artist on JSA on the Robsinson/Goyer/Johns revival) is gay. I saw him at a panel at San Diego comic con and he said he tried to put the guys in sexy positions(especially Wildcat) and his editors did make him change some things... there is one episode that Wildcat is in a tub and it was printed differently than Sadowski wanted

Sadowski used to be in our old JSA Yahoo chats, and he had all kinds of stories.

He said the inker, Michael Bair, was an old guy who always tried to un-sexify Steve's hot men. Stevie said Bair and the fill-in artist Buzz were creepy old straight men (this was 1999-2001).

Steve modeled his depiction of Mordru... on himself!

He would never confirm nor deny that original JSA writers James Robinson and David Goyer had an affair when they lived together, but would make smiley emoticons when we would suggest that.

He said he assumed Geoff Johns was gay, but guessed his gaydar must've been off (or not!).

Sand was supposed to be gay but Johns convinced Goyer to switch him to straight.

He LOVED Hippolyta as the Golden Age Wonder Woman!

[quote]He LOVED Hippolyta as the Golden Age Wonder Woman!

I did too.

[quote]He said he assumed Geoff Johns was gay, but guessed his gaydar must've been off (or not!).

I mean, Johns and Allan Heinberg shared studio space and collaborate a lot....

Yep, Hippolyta as WW was far more interesting than Diana as WW. Which didn’t sit well with one of the DC head honchos at the time.

Current editorial is a fan, because Polly and Diana are splitting the title now.

Well! To continue on Hippolyta, Queen Phil Jimenez HATED her, despite pretending to like her. He claimed that "editorial" forced him to kill off Hippolyta when he was writing WONDER WOMAN.

HOWEVER, back in 2001, Jeph Loeb, who wrote and orchestrated the whole OUR WORLDS AT WAR event, told me several times in IMs that Miss Jimenez was the one who offered up Hippolyta as a character to die in the crossover series, as he despised her "taking away Diana's uniqueness." Loeb said they had zero plans to kill off Hippolyta (and that DC as a whole really loved her in her role as the Golden Age Wonder Woman in JSA and elsewhere), but Jimenez insisted on killing her off to keep her from "diminishing" Diana.

The JSA writers were furious, as they'd planned for Hippolyta to be on the team full-time.

There's a lot of stuff to dislike John Byrne for, but figuring out such a brilliant retcon to get the Golden Age WW stories back into canon? Utterly brilliant.

I never liked Hippolyta as WW. In fact, I hated John Byrne's entire run.

LOVED Byrne's entire WONDER WOMAN run, especially Hippolyta as the Golden Age Wonder Woman!

Nowadays, I just buy trades, so I'm wondering, since the Bendis JUSTICE LEAGUE isn't in TPB yet, does Hippolyta remember being in the JLA in a previous continuity? The current mandate is that all of the characters remember their former lives and that "it all counts."

So, has Hippolyta referred to her stints in the JSA and JLA?

What do you guys think of Alan Scott coming out? And is Obsidian still gay as well?

Yes, Obsidian is still gay.

The Alan Scott coming out was one of the few New 52 bits I legitimately liked, so I like the idea of holding onto that, and seeing the trials of an older man coming out.

For me, it's just a bit weird because they made the Earth-whatever Alan Scott in the New 52 gay because, essentially, they had erased Obsidian, but now the original Alan and his family are back and they didn't want to go back with his being gay either, so now we have a gay father with a gay son.

It's not that I'm complaining, I like gay Alan, but it's so DC with their crises fuckups...

Was Rucka's shitty "Origin" from 2016 wiped away, since Diana is still Zeus' daughter, and not clay, as Rucka wrote?

That was the most awful origin of Wonder Woman ever. Even Kanigher's 1958 retelling and Messner-Loebs' tweaking in 1993 weren't as awful as Rucka's mess.

[quote]For me, it's just a bit weird because they made the Earth-whatever Alan Scott in the New 52 gay because, essentially, they had erased Obsidian, but now the original Alan and his family are back and they didn't want to go back with his being gay either, so now we have a gay father with a gay son.

I'm just grateful that after fucking it up and half-assing it for so long, they've FINALLY started to do a good job with representation. I know, I know, there are trans and non-binary characters, gross. But they've done a good job of growing things both on the page and in the creative realm, and I think it's wonderful.

I'm looking forward to the Pride issue this year.

I hate James Tynion's bisexual agenda. It's felt all over DC with him as an influential writer. He seems so anti-gay in interviews, pushing the bisexual and fluid talking points.

Why couldn't Jon Kent be gay?

I'm disgusted that the upcoming Catwoman/Harley Quinn one-shot will end with lesbian sex between them. Of course, more female bisexuality.

But no major GAY MEN at DC at all. Just bisexual women and men. And Lesbians. And trans.

^^^

There is is.

Well, Diana's mom was killed again after her stint as a member of the wackest JL lineup in history. Thanks to Bendis.

Hippolyta's dead AGAIN???

Did she ever remember her previous times in the JLA and JSA?

The current editorial policy, unless they've changed it, which, given that it's been about two years, they probably have, is that everyone remembers everything.

I mean, did Hippolyta ever specifically remember her previous lives, whether in JL or WW?

Or did she think this was her "first time" in the League?

A woman proposed to Geoff Johns at San Diego back ca. 2000 and he accepted...though I don't think they ever married. (And I heard the same thing from Sadowski about Wildcat, so we may know each other, r110, or we were at least at the same Andy Mangels-led panel. I think P. Craig Russell was there...and Joe Phillips made a surprise appearance...)

Most of the pictures toward the top of the thread look far too feminine for me. Let’s have rough, manly looking superheroes—far hotter.

[quote]Well, Diana's mom was killed again after her stint as a member of the wackest JL lineup in history. Thanks to Bendis.

What happened to Bendis at DC? The guy certainly had his detractors when he was at Marvel, but I liked a lot of his stuff. His JL and Legion, though, just don't work for me at all.

Is Neal Adams' art more to your liking, R13!?

r130

I went to SDCC in 1999, I just happened to be in San Diego at the same time and was able to get in... that would never happen now though... it's way too big now

I don't remember the artist now, but these panels from Midnighter's solo series...

It was also cool because the series established that big tough Midnighter is a bottom.

Esad Ribic drew a cover of Wolverine staring at a naked Nightcrawler and placed a beer bottle in a position suggesting a Wolverine hard-on. Scroll down at the link for the full cover.

Bendis can only write urban, superheroes who are basically hand to hand fighters. His Avengers team was basically a group of these put together who would take turns fighting bad guys. He can't choreograph a big complex superhero battle with a range of powers to save his life. Fight choreography is an underrated skill but essential for team comics. He should be nowhere near the Legion and JLA.

R135.. that's a suggestive cover with Wolverine? it's like he had the beer between his legs sticking up! Personally think that is major overreaching....

I mean, the House of X suggestion that Wolverine and Cyclops, who were in a throuple with Jean, were also having sex with each other was kind of hot.

[quote]Personally think that is major overreaching....

Take it up with the artist, who was amazed that, "nobody at Marvel noticed!"

[quote] I went to SDCC in 1999

We were in the same room 23 years ago. Weird. I went and met up with a bunch of gay comics fans from all over the country who had met through AOL chat rooms.

And still I didnt get any!

r140

ha! Neither did I(my ex who did not come with me to the con probably did as he cheated on me for years though ) Oh the aol chat rooms... memories

R132 Oh, people HATE Bendis at DC. I can't believe he's the same writer who had Wanda go crazy and murderize 90% of the mutant population as well as Vision and Hawkeye. What happened to THAT guy?

Once he moved to DC, he "ruined" Superman (Who I think is fucking boring anyway) and then The Titans (not his fault b'c they haven't been good since the 80s) and rebooted the Legion of Heroes and definitely RUINED the Justice League.

His humor is just not appropriate for mainstream UNLESS it's a quirky group of personalities. His dialogue is very Whedonesque and just doesn't mesh with established characters. DC's not really known for humor. Superman doesn't work with witty dialogue. I like his run on the Legion because there's like...one thousand different members from different races and planets etc. with different personalities plus they're ALL young, so his writing works for me in that situation. The thing with Bendis is NOTHING really happens UNTIL there's a huge crossover event. Otherwise, it's just filler after filler.

His run on the JL is TERRIBLE. Again, a title not known for its sense of humor. And the rooster is awful...Hippolyta, Canary, Green Arrow, Superman, Black Adam, Flash, Aquaman, Naomi

I will admit the ONLY thing I like about his Superman run is his take on Superman's inner dialogue. It humanized him just a little bit for me. I was NEVER a Supes fan until the New 52. Hell, wasn't really a DC fan until the New 52.

Oh, Tom Taylor, who writes "Son of Kal-el" joined a Facebook group I'm in that was discussing the most recent issue. I felt AWUFL for the guy because he's fully aware of how this community of incels feels about writers taking a "woke" approach with characters. There's no way in hell I could read ALL of that negativity and remain sane.

R143, if you get the chance, please tell him that I returned to reading DC... no, comics actually... because of Jon Kent coming out. ❤
