Single Issue Showcase: Midnighter #1 - “Midnighter”



The cover to Midnighter #1 by Aco and Romulo Fajaro, Jr.

I know the (admittedly loose) rules I established last year for the Single Issue Showcase stipulate that I highlight gay content in a series that does not typically feature any, but I decided to change things up for the first one of the new year. Besides, it’s my blog, my rules, and only one person is reading this anyway. (Hi, Gavin!) Also, Midnighter is a series that deserves more recognition, all the more so because it is up for cancellation as DC makes way for yet another massive reboot with its “Rebirth.” Other issues of this series have been singled out before for what they have contributed to the series itself and the comics medium as a whole, but I decided to start at the beginning. Why not?
