GLAAD MEDIA AWARD WINNER:
OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK

Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices

By Anthony Oliveira, Elsa Sjunneson, Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, Pablo Collar, Charles Stewart III, Alti Firmansyah, Minkyu Jung, KJ DΓ­az, Ruth Redmond, Dono SΓ‘nchez-Almara, Ariana Maher, Joe Caramagna (Marvel Infinity Comics)

I am so thankful for the gift of this recognition on behalf of myself and all of the crew on Avengers Academy. We strove week after week to make art worthy of our community – to deepen and enrich the world for queer, trans, and HIV+ representation and readership, to insist we belonged in these worlds of fiction and in the world that dreams them. We wanted both to illuminate queer stories told long ago and to trailblaze new paths forward. It was not always easy, but it was always worth it. 

I am so proud of this work, and so honoured to have it so celebrated. Thank you.

Thank you to all the impossibly gifted collaborators on this project for all your brilliance, enthusiasm, and generosity: our regular artists Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, and Pablo Collar; our colorists KJ Diaz and Ruth Redmond; our letterists Ariana Maher and Joe Caramagna; as well as our numerous guest talents – who enriched this book week after week with their gifts and perspectives. Thanks too to our editors, Lindsey Cohick, Sidney Stubbs, Wil Moss, and founding editor and Sarah Brunstad who willed this book into life. Time and again this book redefined what could happen, how it could look and read, and above all who could be in a superhero comic, and I could not be prouder. 

And, with great admiration and profoundest appreciation, thank you to my community, for always lifting me up. Finding all of you has been the great gift of my life. This category is full of the fellow artists who showed me there was a place for us to create and to live in this world, and I live in the enduring blessing of their work.

I said it when we ended, and I will say it here again: comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universe’s heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one I’ve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who soug…

Amazed and honoured that AVENGERS ACADEMY has won the GLAAD Media Award for OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK!

This book pushed every boundary in this industry, and I am so grateful for the gift of these talented collaborators and this generous, uplifting community of readers. deadline.com/2026/03/glaa...

it feels like there’s something the author is not saying, about how the presence of women would alter or disrupt the book club. and i wish he would say it. i want to know.

i enjoyed reading about how much this book club meant to these men. i found it relatable how they would get excited about discussing books with their friends. but it’s not clear to me why an all-male group is necessary for this experience.

What I Learned About American Men in My All-Male Book Club It’s a Tuesday night and after work I’m meeting up with six other guys at a nearby British pub for a couple of pints and some fish and chips. But we aren’t gathering to watch Premiere League footba…

lithub.com/what-i-learn... interesting read. i am not convinced that all-male book clubs are valuable, or that the total maleness of this author’s book club is a beneficial quality for its members. at best i think it’s only neutral. and that’s at BEST.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

Square Peg, Round Hole - The Massachusetts Review A review of Uncanny Valley Girls: Essays on Horror, Survival, and Love (Harper Perennial 2025) by Zefyr Lisowski and Scream with Me: Horror Films and the Rise of American Feminism (1968-1980) (Atria 2...

"I more than once mentally thanked Lisowski in Uncanny Valley Girls for the respect she affords films like Antichrist & The Ring merely by refraining from jamming the square peg of horror into liberal feminism’s round hole."

AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

the Mamdani $30/hr snow shovel thing is so mindblowing. your tax dollars at work, to enrich your fellow citizens who need it most and immediately improve safety & living conditions for all. and THAT'S what the billionaire class wants you to fear?

the amount of people who don’t seem to have considered that having a racial slur thrown at you while you’re on live television at a major industry event might possibly be a traumatic experience is making me feel like i’m losing my mind

Aside from the instance of uttering the slur look at the societal response to it! Black people nearly unanimously saying it's fucked up if we're disabled or not, white people gathering their full force to defend it! Racism is literally the only thing white folks know how to be a collective about!
