LGBTQ+ graphic novels tend to be more layered and fulfilling to me. That why I love queer coming of age stories so much, because no matter how many I read, regardless of genre, I can see myself in those storylines. Can you imagine godlike beings only attracted to a single sex? See, me either!Īs a pansexual person, LGBTQ+ narratives oftentimes display the most realistic view of self-discovery even in a fantasy setting. I always thought the notion of superhumans being mostly hetero was shortsighted even when I was a kid. The catalog of LGBTQ+ graphic novels and comics continues to grow, even as most of the superheroes we are accustomed to fall into the same stereotype: unlimited powers, superhuman strength, and mostly hetero. The self-discovery in queer stories has always inspired me, and I’m sure others as well. As I learned to navigate my own sexuality, I found myself really enjoying queer coming-of-age stories. Whether you enjoy romance, action, or fantasy, there is a queer comic for you. There’s no better way to celebrate Pride than to indulge in some entertaining LGBTQ+ comics and graphic novels.
