You’ll have to take my name, though, because “Johnny Scott” sounds like a brand of toilet cleanser.

THEY DID THIS FOR NO ONE BUT MEEEEE HEY TODD RICERS LET'S GOOOOO
Shout out to Alan Scott for somehow being one of DC's most iconic gay characters and on of DC's most iconic homophobic characters. No one else is doing it like him.
In honour of the upcoming spooky season I combined my two favourite old men with lanterns, Alan Scott and the Woodsman from Over The Garden Wall

Going from Alan Scott Green Lantern to Batman is actually so funny. Old Gothamites be like, "our beautiful bringer of the green dawn vs their grotesque & malicious bat-thing"

Alan Scott: The Green Lantern #1 - "Into the Fire" (2023)
written by Tim Sheridan art by Cian Tormey & Matt Herms
After getting exposed to comics through the MCU, seeing the queerness of actual superhero comic books blows my mind. (for context I'm largely a DC reader but from what I know marvel is similar).
Like one current comic I am reading is essentially a messy WWII gay divorce arc between Green and Red Lantern (Alan Scott: Green Lantern).
Another is DC bombshells which is basically a WWII AU where all the main superheroes are badass women who punch nazis, and I literally could could the amount of (probably) straight characters on one hand.
Spirit World starring Xanthe Zhou changed my life. Suddenly here was a cool, fun, complex non-binary Chinese character who was the hero of their own story. They also had awesome costume design, epic powers, and was hanging out with John Constantine and fucking Cassandra Cain. And the experiences with their family felt so real and authentic. When I looked into it further I learnt were created by a Chinese non binary writer, Alyssa Wong.
It's just so refreshing compared to when I was begging for subtext in what is frankly one of the straightest film franchise of the 21st century. It's sometimes fun, sometimes messy, and sometimes just queer. It made me feel like I could be part of the world of superheroes for the first time.
