Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (April 27, 2007)

WONDER LESBIAN POWERS, ACTIVATE!
An AfterEllen.com reader (thanks Bernard!) tipped me off that "two lesbian superheroines of Marvel Comics will be the lead characters in their own mini-series this summer. It's part of the sci-fi stories called 'Annihilation: Conquest,' to be released this summer. An alien superheroine, named Phyla Mar-vell, will take up the mantle of the late superhero, Quasar. She's joined by her girlfriend, Moondragon, an Earthling superheroine with psychic powers. Their comic will be called 'Annihilation: Conquest, Quasar.'"
