The 1987 film “The Monster Squad” is perhaps best known for the line, “Wolfman’s got nards!” Janie Jones “Strummer” Mercado doesn’t have nards, but she is a werewolf. And a private investigator. And she just got presented with a case of biblical proportions. That’s the premise of Black’s Myth, a new, black-and-white series from AHOY…

Loki should be one of, if not the, most prominent queer characters in Marvel’s roster.
