In our penultimate, giant-size episode, Alex shares his obsession with Marvel’s bald goddess of the mind, Moondragon. A member (and antagonist) of the Avengers, Defenders, Infinity Watch and Guardians of the Galaxy, Moondragon has been a major player in Marvel’s cosmic comics for five decades, appearing in Thanos-centered stories by artist and writer Jim Starlin since 1973. Adn, from the mid-2000s to the present, Moondragon, née Heather Douglas, has been in a queer relationship with alien super heroine Phyla Vell. Johnnie helps Alex process his deep over-identification with this self-defeating, arrogant, and morally superior character who once appeared on his birthday cake.

Because Dave is, alas, coughing his way through another sinus infection, we offer a new episode of Super Gay! for your podcasting pleasure:

Let's talk about recent queer representation at Marvel Comics! Johnny and Alex discuss the super hero gay pride march by Lucaino Vecchio in the Marvel Voices anthology; Mystique's marriage to Destiny in Jonathan Hickman's X-Men; Leah Williams' upcoming X-Factor and recent X-Tremists mini series (starring Northstar, Iceman and a hot Blob)! Plus: Learn about Striker and Lightspeed, from 2011's Avengers Academy, and, of course, a little Wonder Woman update too, even though she's not a Marvel character, because why not?
