Issue 3 – Hopes and Fears

Nothing is without its price. In the aftermath of his increasing comfort with his sexuality, Daniel learns that even on a college campus, nobody is completely shielded from the reactions of a heterosexual society. And nothing can be as unifying– or as divisive– as a common threat.

Issue 4 – Sugar and Spice

High school romances never made sense at the time, but who would have thought they’d get even weirder at college? As Daniel continues to adjust to Hillard East, he reevaluates whether it’s really where he belongs.

Issue 5 – Homecoming

A two-part story; in the first, Daniel enjoys Christmas vacation back at home with his family– or perhaps “endures” would be more accurate. Upon his return, he is welcomed back by a New Year’s celebration– Hillard style. Where do they say home is again?

Issue 6 – Dies Irae

One main story, one major problem. Every gay man or woman must eventually face the judgment of those from whom love and support is most crucial; what one can never predict is the unexpected places where help may be found.
