It is common for comic book creators to get on social media and rally fans to buy their newest book. But writer Tim Sheridan — whose credits include Teen Titans Academy, Dragon Age: Absolution, and as of this week, DC Comics’ six-issue miniseries Alan Scott: The Green Lantern — had something a little different to say. In a video posted on X, Sheridan asked fans for a favor when it came to The Green Lantern, saying, "The haters and the queer-phobes are already doing everything they can to see that this book tanks. But the truth is that the haters don’t like that there’s a queer hero in the upper ranks of the DCU." As a result, Sheridan has requested queer and open-minded fans to pick up copies of the series, written by him and drawn by Cian Tormey — as he would be donating all of his royalties to the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Sheridan says he chose the Elton John AIDS Foundation because he’s felt inspired by the singer-songwriter’s work and philanthropy for a very long time. The high percentage of the contributions to the organization goes to those in need, and its attention to supporting a combination of research into a cure, treatment/support of those living with HIV/AIDS, and palliative care.
