The League of Lesbians Launches at Comic-Con 2023

The Homo Heroes’ LGBTQ+ Superheroes Kick Off New Project

San Diego, CA -- THE HOMO HEROES, an LGBTQ+ graphic novel, announces its latest project THE LEAGUE OF LESBIANS. Just in time for Comic-Con, THE LEAGUE OF LESBIANS brings together a strong band of all-female superheroes from Starlight City, home to THE HOMO HEROES. The lineup includes LIBERTY LEZ, PUSSY-IN-BOOTS, BAT BITCH, DINO DYKE, BLACK MAGIC, and other daring, female crime-fighters.

“This project has been a long-time dream of mine,” says THE HOMO HEROES creator Todd Nunes. “Now that the first seven issues of THE HOMO HEROES’ have been published, I can finally focus on THE LEAGUE OF LESBIANS and their heroic exploits.

While THE HOMO HEROES are the protectors of Starlight City, THE LEAGUE OF LESBIANS extend THE HEROES’ efforts to other worlds and dimensions. “With LIBERTY LEZ discovering her true origins in THE HOMO HEROES initial series, she is now inspired to create her own first responder team to support THE HOMO HEROES,” says Todd Nunes. “These efforts include rescuing BLACK MAGIC from the Dream Dimension, liberating a planet where men are dominated by misguided matriarchs, and using the LEAGUE’s witty banter to combat their own infighting and drama.”

Created by award-winning indie horror director Todd Nunes, THE HOMO HEROES’ comics have been ranked #1 on Amazon Kindle’s New Releases in LGBTQ+ Graphic Novels. Characters include purple-caped PRIDE, LIBERTY LEZ, DRAG-O-LICIOUS, BACK-LASH, PAPA BEAR, BAT BITCH, PUSSY-IN-BOOTS and other flamboyant do-gooders.

THE HOMO HEROES will be exhibiting at San Diego’s 2023 Comic-Con in the Small Press Pavilion, booth #K-05, San Diego Convention Center, 111 Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101.

ABOUT: THE HOMO HEROES showcases the LGBTQ+ community as strong, brave, courageous, and fabulous looking - just like their straight counterparts. The difference is that LGBTQ+ lifestyles, names, origins, and costumes, are integrated into the graphic novels, including being the target of homophobia - which Reverend Righteous (THE HOMO HEROES’ nemesis) boldly preaches to his followers.

As GLAAD has reported, “Non-LGBTQ+ people who are exposed to LGBTQ media images are more likely to experience increasing levels of acceptance and comfortability towards LGBTQ people.” THE HOMO HEROES furthers the goal that LGBTQ+ individuals should have the freedom to live their lives and not be discriminated against, and that schools should be a safe and accepting place for all youth.

THE HOMO HEROES Comic Books 1 - 7 are available in digital ($3.99), paperback (starting at $6.99), and hardcover ($49.99) on Amazon.com as well as www.thehomoheroes.com.

THE HOMO HEROES COMIC BOOK – Issue #6

LGBTQ Superheroes: Latest Issue "The Sensational Hunk"

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA 6/1/2022 – Just in time to celebrate Pride Month, THE HOMO HEROES release Issue #6 of their LGBTQ+, action-packed comic book series. Now available on Amazon Kindle ($3.99 digital) and paperback ($9.99). Check-out THE HOMO HEROES animated trailer: https://youtu.be/x-NyrjFbQ60

<<< REVIEW COPIES AVAILABLE --- REVIEW COPIES AVAILABLE >>>

“Issue 6 of The Homo Heroes, “The Sensational Hunk" is even more suspenseful than the previous five,” says creator Todd Nunes. “We are moving towards the series conclusion, so tensions are high, storylines are charged, and the fight between good and evil - while looking fabulous - has never been more dire.”

THE HOMO HEROES characters in Issue #6 are just as larger-than-life as mainstream superheroes and aim to keep the streets safe in crime-ridden, glamour-driven Starlight City. They include purple-caped PRIDE, LIBERTY LEZ, DRAG-O-LICIOUS (The Daredevil Drag Queen), BACK-LASH, and many other Heroes in pursuit of justice and equality. Issue #6 also introduces new heroes and villains including Papa Bear and The Mind Thrivers.

“I’m excited to have the release of Issue #6 coincide with Pride month,” says Nunes. “The Homo Heroes embody everything that Pride month means to me: inclusivity, representation, hope, acceptance, and individuality. Our characters offer a new, fun, narrative for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.” 

Plot highlights for Issue #6: Drag-O-Licious receives irrefutable evidence that an evil mastermind is out to eradicate The Homo Heroes. While investigating this sinister plot, Pride encounters a fearsome adversary: The Sensational Hunk! Across town, Back-Lash and Drag-O-Licious team up with street fighter Papa Bear to pursue the The Mind Thrivers: evil cultists creating a slew of super villains. Meanwhile, Benjamin discovers Clay's super secret... or at least he thinks he has; Reverend Righteous declares a humiliating end to The Homo Heroes; and the shocking identity of the Dude in the Dark is finally revealed.

THE HOMO HEROES are more than just side-kicks. They aim to save the world while showcasing the gay community as strong, brave, and courageous. THE HOMO HEROES represent the LGBTQ+ community as powerful leaders, just like their straight counterparts. The difference is that LGBTQ+ lifestyles, names, origins, and costumes, are integrated into the comic books – including being the target of homophobia. These are real role models for the modern world - exactly what Reverend Righteous (The Homo Heroes’ nemesis) is so desperately afraid of. 

THE HOMO HEROES Comic Books 1 - 6 are available on Amazon in paperback and digital downloads; downloads are also available on The Homo Heroes website. Writer and creator, Todd Nunes; Editor, Laurie Lovekraft. For information about characters, merchandise, social media, etc. visit: https://thehomoheroes.com/.
