WHOOPS! Got a bit negative for a second there, didn’t I? I forgot my promise not to engage all of this. Sorry about that, didn’t mean to harsh your mellow. Out with the jive, in with the love.<\/p>\nWHOOPS! Got a bit negative for a second there, didn’t I? I forgot my promise not to engage all of this. Sorry about that, didn’t mean to harsh your mellow.

I am in the newspaper. The GAY newspaper<\/a>. <\/strong>The fine folks at XTRA magazine (publishing in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and even on the internet) comissioned me to write a little overview of what’s hot in gay graphic novels, and I turned it into a sort of fun, on-its-ear SUMMER READING LIST. It saw print on my birthday (yay!), and it went online earlier this week when I wasn’t looking<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n Porky #1 & Pornomicon #1<\/strong> by Logan. Published by Class Comics. 32 pages; $9.95 each.<\/p>\n In the past year Class Comics has begun publishing gay comics from around the world and these two comics from France’s Logan (so hot he only needs one name) are downright dirty, in all the right ways. Featuring worlds seemingly comprised entirely of hot’n’hairy muscle bears with impossible proportions, anyone searching for something a little more hirsute in their smutty summer reading will have it made in the shade. A word of warning: If guys with PIG tattooed on their tummies and sex with the Octopus-faced baddie from Pirates Of The Caribbean (and all that entails) make you squeamish, Logan’s work is definitely not for you. It includes everything on the spectrum from the suggestive to the smutty, and all points in between. It was a lot of fun to\u00c2\u00a0write too, and even more interesting? I WAS EDITED!\u00c2\u00a0Usually I just rail on and on here at the blog, but I got to work\u00c2\u00a0with an editor who actually made\u00c2\u00a0the piece stronger and tighter overall! Suck on that, Internet!<\/p>\n For those of you that need a reason to click through the link, here’s what I reviewed: Stripped: The Illustrated Male, Porky #1,\u00c2\u00a0The Pornomicon #1, Fun Home SC, Aya HC, All-Star Superman, Casanova: Luxuria, PRISM: Your Guide to LGBT Comics, Shirtlifter #2, <\/em>and Young Bottoms In Love.<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0There really wasn’t much point in picking stuff just to rag on it, so I’ll spoil the surprise and say that I generally liked all of the books in the review.<\/p>\n They even let me plug The Toronto Comic Arts Festival<\/a><\/strong>, which was really rather nice of them. I’ve got another article for them almost completed which has a decidedly Eastern<\/em> bent. I’m sure you can figure it out…<\/p>\n I hope my friend at Fab<\/em> doesn’t get mad that I wrote an article for Xtra<\/em>. DRAMA. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
