“Together we make a statement.” Northstar, the first Marvel hero to come out. Julie Powers who we’ve seen grow up from childhood to out and proud, Koi Boi representing for trans masculinity, Anole and Bling signifying queer identity overlaps and trumps mutant identity.
Connecting with previous panel, Sera, the only trans female hero in the Marvel Universe that we know of, had to come visit her love Angela even if she has duties across the galaxy.
Hulkling is having a similar conversation with Karolina and Nico. The Young Avengers and the Runaways have crossed paths many times and these two couples of alien heirs and magic users have a lot in common.
Responding is Wiccan, a guy with a similar background, even similar looks, but socially aware. He gives credit to his partner Hulkling for bringing everyone together. Hulkling is a prophesied unifier, and I like to think he’s developing that diplomatic skill.
I chose to open with a close up on Striker, from Avengers Academy. A self centered white cis gay, the end of the LGBT+ spectrum most prone to be apolitical and unaware of their privilege in context of our collective.
The awkward creepy twink says it. Someone had to!

I never show inks, but I love these and since they’re included in the IRONHEART: TEN RINGS TP, gonna share (These included some specific color notes).
Gonna share some here. This is the first sketch for DUNE, the new supervillain introduced in the last few issues.
@SinaGrace It is pretty much a version of this without the face mask. I kinda assume Darkveil has lots of X-Men based clothes and accessories to mix and match.
