Pride is a sin
Not gay pride, just pride in general

Will we get this?
Juan Parker
A Muslim woman is writing a queer sexual character like Poison Ivy?????????
William Lopez
I wonder how constipated Poison Ivy is. I mean, it makes sense she only eats animal products, but doesn't that mean she has no fiber in her diet?
Lincoln White
I think one of them is going to scissor a tranny.

>A multiverse mini that's a story in a parallel world instead of a crossover
People have been asking for this for years.
Thomas Wood
I never expected DC to turn into 2013 Marvel, but here we are.
Hudson Bell
I think at the end, Kid Quick will literally join the main Earth.
Nicholas Ward
Just asking here for my fellow aces, you think we will get any asexual rep this year?

>Future State Flash
So, 5G was never cancelled, even though Johns acts like it was. Almost everything that was planned for 5G has come true, except a cute red Head Aquawoman got replaced with a black Aquanegro.
Gabriel Watson
Depends if they spotlight Tremor at DC, or Nadia the younger Wasp at Marvel
Jaxson Rogers
5G implied aging/retiring preexisting characters, something that was obviously never going to stick. Damian Wayne was going to be the villain of the line. It was a shitshow. The current status quo puts some of the 5g characters in the spotlight without replacing the ones that people are familiar with.
Oliver Richardson
I just sort of want something more than just a single panel of this
