DC Pride returns for 2022 with an electrifying and poignant LGBTQ+ celebration. Our review:
✖ When DC Pride first launched in 2021, it felt like an absolute revelation, with the 100-page anthology uniquely spotlighting DC Comics' LGBTQ+ characters and creators. In the 12 months since that one-shot was first released, the topic of showcasing the LGBTQ+ experience has only further evolved, in ways both negative and positive .
While a lot of elements stand out in DC Pride 2022, one of the most impactful is its sense of confidence, both among its characters and within the convictions of each individual story. There's a sense of narrative excitement and electricity on display on practically every single page, as each character and their narrative is able to truly flourish to their best abilities.
Along the way, the stories of DC Pride 2022 tackle a surprising variety of incredibly specific LGBTQ+ issues, some of which are refreshingly overt — Alysia Yeoh's"Up at Bat" uses a trans conference to address the good and bad of being transgender in the present day, and"The Gumshoe in Green" addresses negative bisexual stereotypes in a way that I'm amazed to see in a mainstream superhero comic.
Much like its predecessor, DC Pride 2022 is a pitch-perfect and endlessly-delightful celebration of the publisher's LGBTQ+ characters. But this year's installment manages to be something so much more significant, cathartic, and triumphant than anything else in the space, in a way that could not be more fitting for DC's ever-growing roster of LGBTQ+ characters.
