[Generation X #1 & #9]

I just. I really want these two in a book together again.

Actually I just want another book like the Lobdell run of Generation X where everybody was bros and it was wonderful and beautiful. Ugh.

Hahaaaaaaa. Teen books are my favorite for reasons of lots of angst and lots of friendship. What.

“I wanted to see them meet. One of the things that struck me rereading the WildStorm Universe is that Apollo and Midnighter are just there. It’s like there’s a big arrow pointing at them going “Look! They’re a bit like Superman and Batman, but they’re GAY!” They weren’t often treated as people, but the question you ask of a couple you’ve just met is “So how did you two meet?” I wanted to know how they met, and I think actually showing the romance is much friendlier to the gay audience than a sign pointing at them that says “Gay.” But there is a slight difference here. With any heterosexual couple, I’d probably go “Will they/Won’t they,” but here, they will. I don’t want to let that audience down, and there’ll be some nice romantic ups and downs along the way. It’s a pleasure to write that. And I’ve got to say, DC has been on board with this from day one. There’s been no resistance. That’s the world we live in now, and it’s great.”

 Paul Cornell on Apollo/Midnighter in StormWatch.

Ok, so the prospect of actually seeing Apollo and Midnighter fall in love has been intriguing me for months now, but I’m legitimately pleased by how Cornell continues to talk about it. Watching them fall in love on-panel, I think, is going to be a magical and compelling experience.

This is one of the things I’m most excited for in the DCnU, honestly. So here’s to hoping that it’s just as good as I’m hoping it is.

I just think their story could be really beautiful, and I’m dying to see it.

So to finish my blogging of me crying about superheroes, I will end with Laura Kinney. Because, let’s be real, she has been sorely missed from my blog. Laura, baby, I love you so much. And you make me so sad.

Your self-esteem issues are relatable, but so off base. You are so great, Laura. I just wish you could recognize that.
