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.

just the best Pride anthology dc has made.
Period.
I loved it.
"If a comic book retroactively ruins your childhood, your childhood probably sucked." - Abraham Lincoln
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.
Idk...can never get behind these books ruining my childhood heroes but cool art?
