Your Fave Superheroes Are Banding Together to Honor Pulse Victims
  
Two of the biggest names in comic book publishing—DC and IDW—recently got together to create Love Is Love, a special comic anthology dedicated to the memory of the victims of last summer's Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. 
The 144-page volume features a ton of your fave superheroes, the likes of which include some of DC's biggest icons like Superman, Harley Quinn, the Green Lantern, and Batgirl. Hailed by IDW as a "love-letter to the LGBTQ community," 100% of the proceeds of the special Love Is Love comic book goes to those most affected in the aftermath of the Orlando tragedy: survivors and the family/loved ones of victims. 
Click through to see some of the empowering, commemorative, LGBT-themed comic art showcased in Love Is Love, and buy your own copy for $9.99 at IDW's official website.
