(#10) Scott Pilgrim
- Bryan Lee O'Malley
Remember that movie that came out in 2010 that was awesome? There's a comic series it's based off and it's even more amazing. Wallace Wells is only one of ten LGBT+ characters that appear in the series and the shenanigans surrounding Scott and his friends totally make this a worthwhile investment.

(#7) Kevin Keller
In 2010, Dan Parent of Archie Comics introduced the series' first openly gay character in the form of Kevin Keller in Veronica #202. Kevin was then given a four-issue miniseries revolving around his life before he moved to Riverdale which then resulted in a solo title that ended after 15 issues in 2014. Kevin Keller's experience of what it's like to be a gay teen dealing with teenage problems is one of the most accurate representations in modern comics while remaining an all-ages title, making it perfect for kids.

(#12) Trees
Published in 2014 with Warren Ellis writing and Jason Howard illustrating, Trees is a science fiction series that takes place 10 years after massive alien constructs appeared on Earth and then proceeded to simply exist - like trees. This series has done an awesome job at representing transgendered people in the form of Zhen and is definitely worth picking up, if not for the characters then for the massively detailed world Ellis and Howard have built.

(#14) X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills (and Basically Every X-Men Title Ever)
While it's easy to wax poetic about how X-Men changed the world of comics when it launched in 1963, one storyline from 1982 particularly stands out: God Loves, Man Kills, the comic that inspired X2. Effectively, the story arc makes deep connections between the X-gene and homosexuality. With William Stryker being the Evangelical pastor of a mega church that promotes the killing of mutants, it really hits close to home.

(#13) The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal
Formerly a webcomic, this is the road trip everyone gets roped into at least one time in their life. Amal, after rejecting the idea of an arranged marriage, coming out to his parents, and subsequently getting disowned, gets absolutely hammered one night. He wakes up in his apartment the following day with TJ, a stranger, cooking in his kitchen. To Amal's surprise, he had agreed to a cross-country road trip with a virtual stranger to go to his sister's graduation in Boston. Shenanigans ensue.

(#9) Blue Is the Warmest Color
Just read this. It's beautiful and sad but really, really, good.

About This Tool
We are fortunate to live in a world that advocates equality, tolerance, and peace. As the LGBTQ+ movement has become more and more influential, many countries and regions have legalized same-sex marriage, and more and more people have the courage to admit their sexual orientation or even take necessary measures to change their gender. These conceptual changes are also reflected in comic books, we can find more and more representative queer comic books.
A number of great queer comic characters also help to promote the acceptance of people who have different sexual orientations. The random tool recommends 14 great queer comic books that you should read.
