COMING SOON: A Trans Coming-of-Age Graphic Novel CHICKEN HEART by Morgan Boecher

"About life, death, love, identity, and acceptance, Chicken Heart is a thoughtful graphic novel in which a trans man finds the strength to accept his own identity." — Foreward Reviews "Where Chicken Heart succeeds where many similar trans coming-of-age stories fail is that it doesn't frame being trans as some internal personal journey of self-understanding.  It makes it clear that the protagonist is able to succeed because of support from fellow trans people." — The Needle News Jackie Locklear is a trans stand-up comedian who doesn’t know how to confront that part of himself. When his Aunt Sheila passes away, it spurs Jackie to take a trip to the refuge Sheila built for trans folks, the Chicken Heart Love Commune. The people there represent a range of backgrounds, in contrast with the world where Jackie was raised.

Marvel Officially Releases New 'Avengers: Doomsday' Trailer Featuring the X-Men

  The X-Men teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday , which had leaked last week, has been officially released by Marvel.   The trailer shows Ian McKellen returning as Magneto, this time without his battle armor, giving the character a more somber, reflective presence. Patrick Stewart’s Professor X sports a costume inspired by his more militaristic comic look, though his iconic yellow chair is notably absent. Together, these choices suggest Avengers: Doomsday is leaning heavily into 1990s X-Men aesthetics. Set within the X-Mansion, the footage includes a striking shot of Cyclops firing an optic blast beside the massive boot of what appears to be a mutant-hunting Sentinel. The tone is grim and serious, echoing the Thor trailer. Magneto speaks about the inevitability of death as he and Charles hold hands, hinting that they may be facing their final moments—possibly at the hands of Doctor Doom. Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday,  Only in Theaters December ...
