While Hollywood continues to drag its feet when it comes to meaningful and realistic LGBTQ representation, the world of comics, manga and graphic novels has long been a place for queer people to see reflections of themselves. Beginning life as a tri-monthly comic series on blogging website Tumblr, Heartstopper is an adorable and family-friendly love story between a geek and a jock. Read our interview with Alice here. When aspiring fencing champion Nicholas Cox is humiliated by prodigy Seiji Katayama during a competition, he vows to one day defeat his new-found rival. But after being awarded a scholarship at elite boys school Kings Row, he finds out that Seiji has been appointed his roommate, and life becomes… difficult.

Created following the horrific shooting at LGBTQ nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida back in June , Love Is Love sees hundreds of the greatest talents in comics come together to pay tribute to those who lost their lives.

Yaichi and Kana bid Mike goodbye as family, and he returns to Canada. A three-episode live-action adaptation of My Brother's Husband was announced in December , and aired in March
