June -- better known to many as Pride Month -- is right around the corner, and longtime superhero publisher DC Comics has a lot of big plans in store to celebrate their jam-packed slate of LGBTQ+ heroes and personalities!
Hitting comic bookstore shelves on May 31, DC just announced the release of DC Pride 2022 #1, a special, 104-page anthology comic that features LGBTQIA+ characters from all over the extended DC Comics universe. Trans actress and Supergirl star Nicole Maines even wrote the introduction for the special book!
And in true DC Comics fashion, that's not all that's going to be released to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community! Throughout the rest of the year (that's right, these titles aren't just limited to June), they'll be releasing rainbow-colored, Pride-themed variant covers of some of their most popular titles (like Nightwing, Superman, and Harley Quinn, just to name a few), with artwork from some of today's most popular comic artists like Kris Anka, Jen Bartel, Stephen Byrne, David Talaski, Kevin Wada, and so many more!
The Pride variant covers, as well as the DC Pride 2022 anthology, are all absolutely gorgeous, 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 Pride season!
