Is there a reading time line for the Authority Comics?

I did read some issues of the Authority Comics (DC) in the past, but I want to really read all of them and was wondering if anyone has a collection/ and or just knows if they have an order. :)

Last post for awhile

So I'm 2 episodes away from being finished with Agatha: All Along and my curiosity of whether or not Tommy will appear and whether or not Eddie is actually Hulkling will be answered, but I think some of you might be wondering why the title says what is says that's because it's my last post for awhile I'm taking a mental break to get in the right space it might be days, weeks, months, a year when I post again, I don't know yet. But, I'll see you all when I get back from break...

What Superheroes Did You Think Were LGBTQ+ But Learned Were Straight?

When I learned more about Wolverine in my teens, I thought we would be bi because he lived for 200 years and could’ve experimented. Also, as a fellow bi, he gave me those vibes when seeing comic pages of him with Cyclops.

Based on vibes, I thought Cassandra Cain or Starfire from DC were lesbian and pansexual, respectively.

I want to get into western comics - hero recommendations

Hello, I'm a trans lesbian woman. I have been into manga for like a decade, but never got into western comics.

I have looked it up and most people just suggest to start with who you like, but I don't actually know many of them. I watched a couple of MCU movies and the daredevil Netflix series, as well as one of the batman, teen titans and Spiderman cartoons from the 00s.

I exist in the English speaking nerdosphere online, so I know some heros by osmosis, but not enough to actually know who to look into.

So anyone who would be nice to start with?

Some tropes I hate:

Perfect heros, be it invincibility, perfect morality, or just being stupid OP

Love triangles (well if they're queer then maybe, but still

When a problem can be resolved by just fucking talking to each other.

Reality warping/dimension hopping like 95% of the time

Themes I love:

Mystery, death not being the end/ghosts spirits, magic as a whole, and gay women

I have another question

So this post has spoilers for Episode 6 of Agatha: All Along, so don't read if you haven't seen the show yet, if you don't want any spoilers. Also, if you want to read the other post I made, here is a link down below...

At this point I don't know if Eddie is actually Teddy Altman or not, but I was just wondering if Tommy will appear in Agatha: All Along like I know the show is almost over with and I could wait until the finale episode, but I'm just curious because in Episode 6 ending Agatha is guessing why Billy is going down the Witch's Road and mentioned both Wanda & Vision and then she mentioned Tommy and then Billy states that he can feel Tommy.

Has wiccan been an X-man?

Today I was reading "Doctor Strange and the sorcerers supreme #2" and got surprised by seeing this text boxes. I've read a lot of comics that wiccan was in prominently and to be honest I started reading comics as a whole just because of him. So I just wanna know, where did this happen, because I've searched for it and I can't seem to find an answer. I really hope I'm not sounding like a fake fan.

I have a question

So I've been watching Agatha: All Along, and I was just wondering if Billy Kaplan's boyfriend named "Eddie" actually "Teddy Altman," or is he a different/new character? Cause the names sound similar, just spelled differently... I'm just confused about him

Agora minha coleção está completa

2021, 2023 e 2024 (pelo q pesquisei não teve edição em 2022). Algumas histórias são realmente boas, outras são só para encher edição, e tem umas bem chatinhas também, mas acho q todas as 3 edições valem a pena.

How likely do you think it is that "Teen" will become an MCU main-stay? (Agatha All Along)

Now that Wiccan is officially part of the MCU, I'm starting to wonder how much we're actually gonna see him?

I originally thought we were gonna just get actual Young Avengers movies with him as one of the main leads but that doesn't seem very likely at this point.

I assume he will at least have a prominent role in the Scarlet Witch solo movie (if it actually happens) but after that I don't know how much screentime he can realistically get. Agatha All Along is a miniseries spin-off that most fans aren't gonna watch yet it's Wiccan's debut and will probably be mandatory for understanding his future appearances. Plus this small series already recieved SO much backlash from incels and grifters just for including a gay character, I can't imagine Disney would be comfortable risking that in their actual movies.

I just want Wiccan to get some mainstream attention and media. I really don't want him to just be a C-lister that has a few minor appearances then stops being relevent. I'll be happy if Wiccan can become relevent enough to at least get into Fortnite and stuff lol
