DC Comics has officially announced the return of its Eisner and Ringo Award-winning DC Pride anthology, set to release on June 4, 2025. Marking its fifth anniversary, this year\u2019s edition will take a new approach, transforming from a collection of short stories into a single, interconnected narrative\u2014crafted by an all-star lineup of comic book creators, including Tim Sheridan, Vita Ayala, Josh Trujillo, Skylar Patridge, A.L. Kaplan, Max Sarin, and more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the heart of DC Pride 2025 is a century-old Gotham City tavern, a space that has long served as a cornerstone of queer life and history. When the bar unexpectedly announces its closure, generations of patrons return to say goodbye, including Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern. For Alan, this place holds deep significance\u2014it\u2019s where he first fell in love with Johnny Ladd, a love that once felt eternal. As he revisits this chapter of his past, something extraordinary happens.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Suddenly, heroes, villains, and civilians with profound connections to the tavern\u2014including The Question, Midnighter & Apollo, Harley Quinn, Green Lantern Jo Mullein, Bunker, Connor Hawke, and Blue Snowman\u2014are mysteriously transported to alternate realities where their deepest desires seem within reach. But at what cost?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike past editions, DC Pride 2025 adopts a writers\u2019 room approach, with each creative team contributing a piece of the larger story arc, seamlessly woven together.
