This June, DC proudly celebrates LGBTQIA+ fans and characters with DC Pride 2026, a coordinated publishing initiative that spotlights DC’s YA graphic novels, comics from DC’s mainline continuity, and a new Justice League event series. As with every year, DC Pride highlights the queer heroes who inspire readers year-round, and in 2026 their stories take center stage across multiple formats.

Anchoring this year’s celebration are Galaxy and Dreamer, two heroes whose journeys have been building across DC’s publishing lines for years. Their stories unfold in three interconnected releases that bridge both DC’s comics and graphic novels, culminating in a major narrative moment for Pride Month and beyond.

Galaxy: As the World Falls Down

Galaxy returns in Galaxy: As the World Falls Down, the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed YA graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star. Written by Jadzia Axelrod with art and color by Rye Hickman and lettering by Jodie Troutman, this new graphic novel continues Taylor Barzelay’s journey as she confronts the alien threat of the Vane, questions her place on Earth, and further solidifies her friendship with Nia Nal, also known as Dreamer.

Justice League Intergalactic Special #1

Before Galaxy’s sophomore graphic novel arrives, readers will finally see Galaxy and Dreamer team up for the first time in DC’s mainline comic book universe in Justice League Intergalactic Special #1, co-written by Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines with art by Travis Moore, colors by Tamra Bonvillain, and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. This one-shot continues Dreamer’s journey following the events of Absolute Power and Secret Six, and picks up on Galaxy’s adventures in heroism following her recurring role in Hawkgirl. Galaxy is now a card-carrying member of the Justice League, bridging DC’s YA and mainline universes.

In this adventure, the planet Naltor and the Green Lanterns who protect it fall under the spell of the Witch Queen, who harnesses the world’s dream energy in a bid to expand her reach far beyond its orbit. Star Sapphire assembles a team of Justice Leaguers to liberate the planet, but the mission quickly spirals. Green Arrow wants nothing to do with space, Adam Strange’s ship is attacked before it even reaches orbit…and Galaxy has invited Dreamer aboard the mission without telling anyone. Dreamer’s visions hint at disaster from the very start!

When they find each other, Galaxy and Dreamer are on completely opposite ends of the Super Hero spectrum. While Galaxy has been welcomed into the Justice League where she’s a shining new up-and-comer, Dreamer is left adrift in the aftermath of the mistakes that have branded her (as far as the League is concerned) a criminal…

Justice League: Dream Girls – A DC Pride Event

Debuting during Pride Month, Justice League: Dream Girls – A DC Pride Event is a four-issue DC All In miniseries co-written by Nicole Maines and Jadzia Axelrod with art from Nicola Scott, J. Bone, Brandt&Stein, Stephen Sadowski, Vincent Cecil, Mikel Janín, Rosi Kämpe, and others. The story begins in the aftermath of Justice League Intergalactic Special, when Dreamer and Galaxy suddenly awaken on Themyscira, living out an idyllic fantasy as princess and champion of the Amazons. Their confusion deepens when a mysterious stranger washes ashore insisting that Dreamer must leave the paradise she’s always dreamed of to save the world, and the dreamlike landscape around them begins to shift in ways that feel both familiar and deeply wrong.

The threat behind the shifting dreamscape is the Key, a long-standing Justice League adversary whose ability to manipulate perception and hunger for control over dreamspace make him a uniquely dangerous opponent for Dreamer. The world he’s building offers her a version of heroism that feels easier to embrace than the imperfect reality she left behind, and Dreamer fears that those imperfections are all she is…whereas Galaxy, eager to prove herself to the League, believes she can keep her imperfections hidden.

In this series, Dreamer is battling, in many ways, her will to go on. With being a hero, with life at all. She’s nothing like the hero she set out to be, and after everything, she (ironically) can’t see a future for herself. So, she needs her closest friend to remind her, even if Dreamer didn’t exactly ask for her help. As the Key tightens his hold, Galaxy fights her way through the dreamworld to pull her friend back from the brink. Her ability to see through the Key’s illusions makes her a threat he’s desperate to expel. The series blends cosmic action, emotional stakes, and a story about identity, legacy, and the strength of a friendship tested by forces determined to tear it apart. Dream Girls represents the next step in DC’s Pride publishing, bringing LGBTQIA+ heroes into the center of a major, continuity-driven Justice League story that unfolds across the month of June.

Bonus Stories Featuring Fan-Favorite Heroes

Each issue of Justice League: Dream Girls – A DC Pride Event also includes an all-new eight-page story that expands the event’s scope. Greg Rucka and Claire Roe showcase Batwoman in a new story in Dream Girls #1 on June 3, Morgan Hampton and Steven Underwood team with Alitha Martinez for a Green Lantern Corps story in Dream Girls #2 on June 10, and G. Willow Wilson and Maria Llovet spotlight Poison Ivy in Dream Girls #3 on June 17. A personal story by Klaus Janson will appear in Dream Girls #4 on June 24, with details to be revealed soon.

These bonus stories connect to major 2026 publishing moments, including Batwoman’s Next Level series, Poison Ivy’s role in DC’s upcoming Bad Seeds event, and more. Claire Roe (#1), Mateus Manhanini (#2), Oscar Vega (#3) and Robin “Zombie” Higginbottom (#4) will each provide a variant cover for Justice League: Dream Girls – A DC Pride Event, while Phil Jimenez and Arif Prianto’s variant covers will be connected across the four issues.

DC Pride: The Heart Wants

Kaplan, Max Sarin, Sara Soler Ester, Vincent Cecil, Alex Moore, and others.
