THE PRIDE (Created by Joe Glass, Gavin Mitchell and Kris Carter) 
Have you ever been sick of being misrepresented? Of having no one like you to look up to? Have you ever wanted to change everything?Well, FabMan has. In a world populated by superpowers, the superhero is common. Sadly for FabMan (Tomorrow’s Fabulous Man, Today), he feels a deep schism in the representation of his community, his own heroic exploits being presented as just big jokes in the news. Wan…ting to fight for change, he forms PRIDE, the world’s premier LGBT supergroup. Not a gay superteam, just a team where most members are LGBT. Not exactly receiving the desired response, the group faces opposition from the confrontational Justice Division, more aggressive misrepresentation by the media and are then taken advantage of in the plans of the nefarious Reverend. After a serious trial by fire, the team find themselves the only super team in the world capable of stopping The Reverend’s diabolical plot for world domination.Join FabMan, Wolf, Sapphire, Frost, Twink, Bear, Angel and White Trash on their mission to help people and improve LGBT representation in the process.
The Pride is a six-issue mini-series written by Joe Glass, and with art by rising star Gavin MItchell, and Kris Carter. The series will be published by Deadstar Publishing, and is seeking further distribution.
 
The whole point of doing this project is to provide young LGBT comics readers with heroes they can look up to, and older ones with heroes they can relate to; it’s to cover issues that straight readers may not be aware of, or may have disregarded as something which ‘doesn’t affect them’ when they affect all of us; it can hopefully change some opinions and help push for an improvement in representation; and most of all, it will be fun!
If we are unsuccessful here, the comic will still come out. But we won’t be able to spread it as far as we would like, and there is little point to a message if no one can actually hear it.

At the very least, please reblog.

 There are just 31 hours left to preorder this series! If you live outside the UK, this is currenly the best and ONLY way to ensure you get copies! It’s also amazingly cheap and there are some great extra perks still to be had!

OMG there are just 5 DAYS left to preorder The Pride!

We need this comic out there in as many hands and as far and wide as possible! So wherever you are, please fund what you can and spread the wordtoo by reblogging, tweet, direct messages, blogs and everything!

This comic has an important message behind it, as much as it is fun and vibrant and exciting. It’s about representation, and we as fans, whether LGBTQ or straight, need this!

It’s also about comics being fun, and not all about decompressed storytelling and depressing storylines.

This is so different from a lot of the stuff out there, and I feel desperately needed, or I would never have made it.

This is an impassioned plea to you to order this comic, whether it’s just issue one or the whole series. Give it a try, spread the word, make it big.

We can get out there on a huge scale…if we only have your help.

So go over to IndieGoGo and order The Pride today, while you still can.

Thanks!
