Ah man, this is a shame. Gary Frank said on Twttier that DC cancelled his Graphic Ink book. 
Posted the wraparound that was intended to be the cover, too.
I was actually really looking forward to it, since I haven't read anything he's done on DC outside of Batman Earth One and Shazam.

Oh yeah, that's part of WHY he's trolling, for sure. More people outraged over outrage over outrage covers, more money he makes.

That's a shame, I really like Frank's art style, def one of the top modern dc artists.

People on Twitter were bitching about LGBT representation literally two books into the current wave of announcements, which I think is pretty ridiculous, but what's more ridiculous is that everything has leaked now and there's still no prominent LGBT book.
That's a bad look. Prowler and Solo have books, and it's blindingly obvious that those will be cancelled immediately. There are people out there saying an America Chavez book would be important to them. Who is Prowler important to?
I'm a straight white man in my 30s, so Marvel has always spoken to me, but it's gotten to the point where I'm getting frustrated on behalf of others. Marvel has willfully ignored a vocal group of fans that need to heard for so long that it makes me wonder if there's active homophobia going on here and not just editors being out of touch.

Alonso is EiC. We all know what he said and refused to say about Angela and Sera.
Almost as much as they hate women and people of color making the books.

Its sad because Margurite Bennett was doing great work pushing Angela forward and giving her a purpose and then you see something like that quote and you can just feel the pushback she was getting from them. She tweeted something to the effect that she was never allowed to explicitly say they were gay and so on so forth.
I am surprised America doesn't have her book.

That's so fucking dumb. So. Fucking. Dumb. You'd have to be a god damn moron to read any single issue of that book and come away with any other conclusion.
You'd also have to be a god damn moron to take both of the major ANAD gay couples off the map for this new wave of books without expanding your roster of LGBT characters. Yet here we are.
I dunno guys. I'm trying to hold out hope we just don't know everything yet but...it's really sad. It's really fucking sad.
Didn't Sera say it sometime in the last 2 issues.
Aren't we all especially considering some of the people who got books.

America was even one of the characters in those early teasers.
I guess she just said fuck it, it was around the time Queen of Hel started and she was annoyed about it creatively.
AmeriKate was mean't to become real

I mean who else is there in the confirmed rosters. Is it really JUST Ms. America now or am I forgetting someone?

Flatman from the GLA is gay.
We don't win anymore.
Based on the characters I know there's also:
Pod
Flatman
Angela
There's also Iceman on both EXM and ANXM, but those books aren't conisdered a part of Marvel Now

I guess there's always the Icemen but we don't know what the hell is going on with the X-Men and they really haven't done nearly as much with that as they said they were going to anyway.
edit: Oh right I forgot about Pod.

America isn't gay she just likes kissing girls and sleeping in their beds.
The Marvel way!

Gorgeous cover. Though I'll be the first to say I'm not a huge fan of the Graphic Ink series. I much prefer things closer to actual artbooks, like Cover Run: The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes.

They're never going to have a gay character in the movies if the source material they're drawing from can't do better than fucking Flatman and Pod.
I read comics almost every day and I don't know who or what Pod is.

Pod was created during the Hickman Avengers and is now used the Ewing Avengers books.
Marvel has more notable gay characters, but I wouldn't expect to see them in the movies anytime soon unless either the comics or Feige decide to have some bigger characters that they can actually use come out. I'm not even sure they can do Young Avengers.

A YA movie would be huge.
I don't know if that title would work. If you just add "Teen" or "Young" in front of your existing giant brand, it sounds desperate and out of touch.

So let's see.
Billy & Teddy: Presumably sidelined. WTF
Icemen: MIA
Angela: Will probably be a supporting cast member for Mighty Thor. Sera? HA HA not likely. Maybe she'll pop up in one scene.
Ms. America: Team book character.
Pod: Team book character. Should be called Post because that's the extent of her personality
Flatman: Joke character on a team book whose power is literally that he is two-dimensional
Solo books starring LGBT characters: ummmm??
I'm still holding out hope that at least one of the new characters will be revealed to be LGBT. And I still firmly believe that Hercules will embrace his bisexuality again.
It's not enough.

I don't know if they can use Hulkling and I know for a fact that they can't use Kang, which might affect Iron Lad.
The X books are continuing and Angela is returing to the Guardians tomorrow.

James Gunn said that Skrulls have the same weird shared custody thing that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver had, and I know they can use Kree. Teddy may be fine.
I think the Billy/Scarlet Witch backstory weirdness is a bigger thing keeping the movie from happening anytime soon.

I actually need to catch up on YA stuff.
I have the original run, the YA Presents series, and The Children's Crusade.
Was there anything big after those before the Gillen/McKevie run?

Yeah that is going to be really hard to do unless they completely change the character's origin
Of course we'd also have to just pretend he doesn't have a twin brother because Speed is dumb
No I think that's everything. Series 1 ==> YA Presents ==> Children's Crusade ==> Series 2
