The 144-page special issue, "Love is Love," will hit stores in December.
DC Comics and IDW Publishing are teaming up on a special 144-page
comic book to benefit victims and families of the June 12 attack on
Orlando’s Pulse nightclub.
The comic, titled Love is Love, will retail for $9.99 and contain more than 100 stories, each one or two pages.
“I purposely said it would be a one-page thing to get people to commit,” Marc Andreyko, who organized the comic, told the New York Times.
Andreyko, who is openly gay, has worked on titles like Manhunter, Batwoman and Wonder Woman ’77, which is set in the continuity of the Lynda Carter TV show. In addition to gathering talent for the benefit book, he helped pair artists and writers.
“I was e-Harmony-ing people—mixing and matching and seeing who felt right.”
Creators who have signed on include fan favorites Phil Jimenez (Superwoman) and Olivier Coipel (Thor, Legion of Super-Heroes), as well as comedian Patton Oswalt and screenwriter Damon Lindelof (Tomorrowland).
“Events like this shouldn’t be compartmentalized,” says Andreyko. “They should hurt and we should want to change for the better.”
Love is Love is expected in stores this December.
