“Green Lantern is gay!” we heard earlier this year.

Well, not really.

“Alan Scott [the Golden Age Green Lantern] is gay!” we heard.

Oh wow, being 30 years old in 1940, he’s well into his 100s…could work, coming out really late in life. Or, was he retconned as gay (NOTE: in comics, when a character is given a new past history it’s referred to as “retcon” or retro-active continuity). Well, no, not really either.

In the new DC Universe, the brand new never been seen before Earth-2 Green Lantern who happens to share the same name as the original Golden Age Green Lantern is gay.

Hrm, Ok. I’ll take it.

But get this—regular super-heroes have a penchant for wearing skimpy spandex outfits…regular gay men have a penchant for wearing skimpy outfits of any fabric…and this dude shows up in his comic wearing a skimpy tight t-shirt (the color version is on blogspot)…but his super-hero outfit is bulky armor. Not the skimpy green square cuts and red T I drew him in here. Instead of gay fan boys getting to oggle a hot gay hero in spandex, we’ll have to keep oggling the straight ones. Oh well.

Overall, this is a good thing of course. More soapbox talk later.

Guys…

Guys….is Marvel trolling us? They sent me four pages from the new Fantastic Four and I swear to God it looks like Peter Parker and Johnny Storm are shacking up.

Mmmmhm. Captain Atom, you know you sexy.I used a friend for reference to get the muscles JUST right. 

Seriously in need of super-beefcake right now.

I have one more sexy DC man to go (and the cover) before I’m done with the calendar. I honestly didn’t think that I would finish this- I figured I would get bored early on and move on to a real project. Before this, I almost never sexualized males this way- I was more focused on female pinups. It’s been an interesting exploration because I don’t want the images to feel too out of character, because I think it’s more fun to draw someone acting like themselves despite the ridiculous situation. 

Also- this is one of the rare situations when I actually took reference, but it was with my shitty shitty webcam because I don’t have a remote for my camera.

This is actually one of the first pieces finished for the DC beefcake set, but I had been sitting on it until for forever because it’s my favorite. I wanted a more dramatic reveal, but I kept it hidden for so long that I more or less just forgot that I hadn’t posted it yet. So here he is. Guy Gardner. My DC boyfriend.

J’onn J’onzz, part two of twelve in the beefcake series. JLI fans, rejoice.

I don’t know about other people, but when spam askbox messages start going around, I wait with bated breath for one to come to me. It’s like Christmas in November!

Forget your troubles, children. Green Lantern Guy Gardner and Lobo as Star Sapphire action figures.
