Welcome to the 50th - and LAST - episode of Supergay! The co-hosts declare “Mission: Accomplished!” as both Marvel and DC release LGBTQ Pride Month anthologies this June.

And finally, in a fond farewell to one another, the Super Gay duo discuss what they learned. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Adn, from the mid-2000s to the present, Moondragon, née Heather Douglas, has been in a queer relationship with alien...

In the countdown to The End of Supergay!, Johnny shares his obsession with c-list anti-villain Catman. A nemesis of Batman and avid fan of Catwoman, who first appeared in Gotham in the early 1960s, Catman’s reimagining as a traumatized, recovered and now (kinda) out-bisexual non-hero was masterminded by Gail Simone in several titles for DC Comics in the 2000’s. Find out why Johnny identifies with this disaffected rich kid ne’er-do-well who dresses up like a giant ginger housecat.

Spanning the late 1980s to the early 2000s, with Marvel and DC Comics including Green Arrow, the Incredible Hulk, and the X-Men.
