DC Pride 2025 (one-shot) by Vita Ayala, Sam Maggs, Tim Sheridan, Josh Trujillo, Jude Ellison S. Doyle, Skylar Partridge, Max Sarin, A. L. Kaplan, Derek Charm, Emilio Pilliu and more. Cover by Kris Anka. Variant covers by (2) Julia Reck and (3) Jack Hughes. Out in June.

"When a 100-year-old queer speakeasy-turned-bar-turned-restaurant-and-community-space in Gotham announces that it will soon be closing its doors, generations of patrons come to pay their respects—including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. After all, this is the place where he and his first love, Johnny Ladd, long ago carved their names into the basement wall before it all went to hell… and a love lost is never a love forgotten. But they weren’t the only ones to put their names in the wall over the years, and suddenly queer heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU—the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them—find them-selves spirited away to a strange alternate dimension that seems to provide everything they could possibly want… but at what cost? In this single, oversized story of interweaving narratives, the vanished will need to come together and look into the very depths of the Starheart itself if they hope to escape that which ensnares them in this triumphant and timely story of community amid chaos!"

"DC Pride" Returns in 2025 with New Format

DC Comics is changing up the format of DC Pride for the special's 5th anniversary. In past years DC Pride was an anthology series spotlighting LGBTQIA+ heroes, but in 2025 the special will instead feature a "singular story arc of interweaving narratives." These narratives are framed by an Alan Scott story from Tim Sheridan, Emilio Pilliu, and Giulio Macaione.

Several of DC comics' heroes will come together when "a century-old tavern, the center of queer life in Gotham City, unexpectedly announces its imminent closure. It’s a huge loss to the community, and generations of patrons return to pay respects to a space they’ve endowed with entire lifetimes of memories, wishes and dreams—including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern. Alan returns, for one last time, to the place he fell for his first love, Johnny Ladd, to touch the wall on which they carved the symbol of their love, to remember the days before everything went to hell for them...and to say goodbye.

But love is a kind of magic, and, in Alan’s experience, magic can take on a life of its own. Before anyone knows it’s happening, heroes, villains, and civilians alike from across the DCU with powerful ties to this mysterious place—the Question, Midnighter and Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman among them—find themselves spirited away to strange, alternate worlds where everything they ever thought they wanted can be theirs…but at what cost?" (DC Comics)

Stories taking place in the framing device of Scott's return to the beloved bar include:

a Jo Mullein story from Vita Ayala, Maya Houston, and Vincent Cecil;

a story about new character Ethan Rivera from Jude Ellison S. Doyle, Josh Trujillo, and A.L. Kaplan;

a story about Connor Hawke from Sam Maggs and Phillip Sevy;

a Bunker story from Josh Trujillo and Don Aguillo;

a Harley Quinn story by Maya Houston and Max Sarin;

a Blue Snowman story by Jude Ellison S. Doyle and Alex Moore;

a Renee Montoya story by Vita Ayala and Skylar Patridge;

and a Midnighter and Apollo story by Sam Maggs and Derek Charm.

Additionally, fans can submit about how DC's legacy has impacted or reflected their LGBTQIA+ identity, journey, and/or experience on the DC Official Discord Server until March 28, 2025. DC's editorial team will then select some of the letters, cosplay, and fan art to be published in a letters column inside DC Pride 2025.

DC Pride 2025 goes on sale on June 4, 2025. The special features a main cover by Kris Anka, variant covers by Sozomaika and Julia Reck, and a 1:25 variant cover by Jack Hughes.

Other DC Pride products from DC Comics in 2025 include:

hope “cheaper eggs and gas” was worth it.

EDIT: i removed the “trump refused to swear on the bible” point because it was being taken as me being an offended christian. i’m not christian, im agnostic. the reason i included it in the first place is because he’s the first president in history to ever refuse to swear on ANYTHING. meanwhile his “conservative christian” followers had no issue with this, and decided to continue to scramble for excuses instead of admitting he may not be as religious as he claims he is. i figured taking that point out entirely is probably better than filling this with an explanation in the middle of the other important issues.
