In October, author Tim Sheridan urged people to pick up a copy of his latest work, a Green Lantern re-boot in which the DC superhero has sex with his boyfriend. Despite his pleas, the comic appears to have struggled to gain favor among readers.
On Amazon, the e-book version of the first issue of Alan Scott, Green Lantern currently sits at #277 in superhero comics & graphic novels, and 39,736 among all titles in the Kindle store.
"The only way we can shut these people down is to make this book an undeniable success," Sheridan told his fans in a video announcing the new comic, suggesting "haters and the queerphobes are out in force."
"The only way to prove to the big publishers that there's a huge market for authentic stories about LGBTQIA+ characters and these stories are for everyone is to buy the heck out of books like this," he added, pointing out that he would be donating profits to the Elton John Aids Foundation.

The character was created in 1940. A DC writer decided to retroactively make him gay in 2016.
The Comic book industry has been slowly losing readership as a percentage of the population for a long time now since the "Dark Age" of comic began with bad imitators of Alan Moore's The Dark Knight Returns. This is just the latest example.
Alan Scott - The Green Lantern (From Earth 2) in happier days.
Wrong Green Lantern, that is Hal Jordan of Earth 1, the Silver Age Green Lantern and a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

...so what happens when the ‘gay’ Green Lantern meets up with the Muslim Green Lantern (Simon Baz)?
You know, fighting off a Moslem trying to throw him off the roof isn’t really helping him stay on the down-low.
Libs will discover that the dildo of consequences will come to them rough, splintery and unlubed.
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
It’s totally natural, clean and safe, Biblical, and reproductive functional, to be infatuated with anuses.
There is a genetic link obviously, we just haven’t found it yet, and it’s not a behavior and preference related to sex, so it’s absolutely not a mere fetish.
Because if it were just a mere fetish then we need to add about 30+ more common fetishes to the list of things we should celebrate on some month, subsidize with tax money, have pride in with parades, guest speakers and flags, advertise in movies, legally protect and normalize in education...

I liked that series plus the first several years of the GI Joe comic.

And a number of comics including oldies by Chuck Dixon.
Sodomy is not attractive, not even to homosexuals.
Anonymous sex is so prevalent among homos because deep-down inside, they’re ashamed of what they’re doing.
Explicit sex? Does his boyfriend give him oral sex? Does the comic have an X rating on the cover?
You mean “Frank Miller’s” Dark Night Returns.
I sold a bunch of mine. If you still need any 60s Aquaman let me know.
I don’t have the issue, but that’s my understanding. There have been x-rated comics for decades, just weren’t in the main publishers who held to the comics code from the 50s to the 70s/80s. After that it ran rampant.
That’s true. It is also about acceptance, so ya gotta do what the acceptor wants to show fealty.
If you are interested in the future of comics.
