Pride season is right around the corner, and iconic comic publisher DC has big plans in store to celebrate all of the legendary queer heroes in their arsenal!
Slated for a June 8 release, DC just announced the release of DC Pride #1, a special, 80-page anthology comic that features LGBTQIA+ characters from across the DC Universe, with appearances from fan favorites like Batwoman, Renee Montoya, Alan Scott, Midnighter, Apollo, Extraño, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Constantine, and so many more!
But that's not all DC is doing to celebrate Pride Month!

Moore, David Talaski, Kevin Wada, and Yoshi Yoshitani!
The Pride variant covers, as well as the DC Pride anthology, are all absolutely stunning, but don't just take out word for it! Scroll through to see some of them for yourself before they hit comic book store shelves this June!
