Comic Book Queers

Why hello and welcome to our home! And it's NOT all straight ahead!

So much fantastic cosplay at C2E2 2013.  I think the con has some of the most diverse cosplayers around and some of the hottest!

I’ve seen lots of photo parades, I think our parade features a few players that I  haven’t seen anywhere else!  Enjoy the cosplay and let us know who your favorites were.

Keep your eyes open cause you may see a few of the CBQties in the mix and a few of our favorite creators as well.

See all the shots! After the jump! Read the rest of this entry →

So get in the cosplay mood, crack open a bottle of Peroni, and enjoy…

LESS EDITING! MORE QUIPPING!

The queers gather around and discuss their experiences at this year’s C2E2! You can be a fly on the wall for the drunken conversation between far too many queers. We have stevieD, PattyBoom, John, Joe, Sarospice, TonyL and joined by special guests Tony Breed (Charlie & Finn Are Hitched) and Steele a newbie comic reader whom we’ve pulled into the fold.

WARNING: This is another of those eps where you’ll want to keep your finger near the volume button. Sorry about that, but we are working on the sound issues.

It’s official….the Comic Book Queers will be hosting a panel at C2E2 next month! Come join in on the fun!

In honor of Read Comics in Public day, Steve gathered together the panelists from last April’s “Chicago Gays in Comics” C2E2 panel. Listen to what you missed! This super-sized episode includes Dale Lazarov loving man-hair, Kris Dresen drawing realistic boobs, Tony Breed and his obsession with Dazzler’s gladiator days and Saro saying all the right things.
