Chris and Chandler are joined by a roundtable of Marvel Queer Creators – Josh Trujillo (Hulkling & Wiccan, creator of Aaron Fischer “aka the gay Captain America”), Terry Blas (Reptil, Marvel Voices), and Carrie Harris (Liberty and Justice for All). Together they tackle the topic of Iceman – Bobby Drake – coming out of the closet in All-New X-Men #40 written by Brian Michael Bendis.
Plus, they gab about their favorite queer X-Character and give shout-outs to their favorite queer artists, writers, and creatives.
All-New X-Men #40 was published in June 2015. That same month:
- Top film at the time: Jurassic World
- Top song at the time: “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift
- Pixar’s Inside Out was released
