Actor, activist, and icon George Takei has gone where few (okay, none) have gone before: WWII Internment Camp survivor, swashbuckling starship pilot, movie star, fanboy peace-broker, voice-over artist, 2012 Celebrity Apprentice contestant, and a booming voice for marriage equality and civil rights. He’s more than a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, George Takei is a force for good in the universe!

The web television show “The Variants,” the award-winning queer comedy series about life in a comic book shop, debuted the final episode of season two, “The Sellouts,” on February 2. In “The Sellouts,” an interested foreign investor and his lawyer (played by Curt Franklin and Chris Haley of the hit web comic Let’s Be Friends Again) quiz Zeus Comics employees to determine if the store is worth franchising. “We had so much fun with the boys from LBFA guest-starring in this episode” said series co-creator Richard Neal. “So much fun I can’t even keep my pants on in this episode.” A lot can happen to a group of friends when money is thrown on the table, and Keli, Richard, Barry and Vlad are no different. While the lawyer presses each staff member individually to see  [Continue reading...]

Dr.Wicked and the duplicitous Tink have built the ultimate weapon in the deadly trans-dimensional gun. With it they have the power to punch holes in the universe and summon the villains of other comics to the pages of “So Super Duper.” It’s up to Jason, of “Junkyard Angels” fame, and Psyche to set things right before Dr. Wicked destroys both universes! The idea for this mighty queer hero crossover started when “Junkyard Angels” artist Zach Enea and writer/creator Brian Andersen discussed the possibility of Zach doodling up a pin-up for “So Super Duper.” The pin-up idea quickly grew to a crossover event after both creative teams realized that such a  [Continue reading...]
