Ok, how about this for an idea. We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day. This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent. What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow that, until we all got bored with that theme. I'd like to propose a theme of letters of the alphabet. So, for the remainder of October (only 5 days) and all of November, we post comic cover pictures associated with the letter "A". Then in December, we post covers pertaining to the letter "B". The association to the letter can be as tenuous as you want it to be. For example I could post a cover from "Adventure Comics" or "Amazing Spider Man". However Spider Man covers can also be posted when we're on the letter "S". Adventure Comic covers could also be posted when we're on the letter "L" if they depict the Legion of Super Heroes. So, no real hard, fast rules - in fact the cleverer the interpretation of the letter, the better, as far as I'm concerned.
And it's not written in stone that we have to post a cover every day. There may be some days when no cover gets posted. There's nothing wrong with this, it just demonstrates that we all have lives to lead.
If everyone's in agreement I'd like to kick this off with one of my favourite Action Comic covers, from January 1967. Curt Swan really excelled himself here.

Casper and Wendy, same gag,
The original series hinted (strongly, at times) that Xena and Gabrielle were a couple, and the actors themselves eventually viewed them that way. The most recent comic series stopped hinting.
The ability of Xena to exist in multiple historical eras, however, has been a constant.

That's it for me. Back to the discussion threads.
Wait, which couple are you shipping?
I personally have no problem with anybody, real or fictitious, perfering a relationship with someone of their own gender. However I still do not understand the editorial decision to retcon almost eight decades of continuity and make Alan Scott gay.
Another appearance of the Rainbow Raider (one of 'em, anyhow.)
Can't argue with that!
Oh my!
The creators of the "Kelvin" STAR TREK films had Sulu be gay in honor of George Takei who objected because he never played Sulu as being gay.
