Could passive agressive comments about gay circuit parties just be masking jealousy over not being invited? The Vexed Wisecracker seems to think so. Staycations, road rage, and phone etiquette are featured in this week's comics.
Mike Van Waes brings his sharp eye to gay culture every week in Vexed Wisecracker strips. Come back next week for more strips, and check out additional work from Van Waes at VexedWisecracker.com.

        It's been 18 years since The Matrix Revolutions seemingly brought the franchise to a close. But as it turns out, Lana Wachowski wasn't done with Neo and the gang just yet. Returning for The Matrix Resurrections, this time she takes the mantle of sole writer and director (she directed the previous films alongside her sister Lilly). Now the long-anticipated trailer for the new Matrix has finally landed, and it's as trippy and intriguing as fans of the franchise could have hoped for. Keep Reading →

        Queer storyline rumors and Marvel movies go together like, well, superheroes and capes. Time and time again we've heard talk that this film is going to finally be the queer one.

(The less said about the whole Avengers: Endgame bait and switch, the better.) But here we are again, this time with the much anticipated Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in production, and along comes a new queer rumor that we can't help but want to believe is true.

And the trailer for this roller coaster of queer antics is out now. Keep Reading →
