DC PRIDE THE HEART WANTS HC

DC Pride The Heart Wants HC collects award-winning Pride stories by Tim Sheridan, Vita Ayala, Josh Trujillo, Sam Maggs, Maya Houston, Jude Ellison S. Doyle, Jenny Blake, and more, with art by Emilio Pilliu, Skylar Patridge, A.L. Kaplan, Max Sarin, Vincent Cecil and others. The centerpiece is an oversized, interwoven narrative about a 100-year-old queer speakeasy-turned-bar-turned-restaurant-and-community-space in Gotham that brings together generations of fans and heroes, including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. A tragedy and romance experiment threads across the DCU: the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman are pulled into a strange dimension, where desires come with costs. The story explores memory, community, and identity through interlacing tales and includes additional short stories, illustrations, an autobiographical piece from Jenny Blake, and a DC Pride letters section. A timely celebration of queer creators and characters within the wider DC Universe.
