Time Again
Willa Cartha postulated that you can boil everything down to but seven narratives. And here I guess layabout teenage slacker who is the central figure of a future society is given guidance to keep them on course, with monitors making sure to keep time streams separate, is one of the seven narratives. The funny thing here is that Evan Dorkin once posted on the comics journal message board on working at Jim Hanley's Universe and just scratching his head at the releases from Archie -- Jughead's Time Police -- as a bizarre nonsensical premise and title.
After all these years, I end up thinking the Bill and Ted comic book was Evan Dorkin's best work (or, starting with the third issue when he was able to make his own this work for hire off a movie property he never watched based on a sub-cultural milieu he distrusted). With Pirate Corps / Hectic Planet, I land on a "yep. Certainly had relationship problems as a twenty-somethinger. And he really likes ska", and Milk and Cheese it is a "yeah. There they are violently assaulting whatever was just popular just then for a flash of a moment in the 1990s. Again." So it was good to see him come back to it when a third movie was released -- but as with whatever it was that had fantasies of slacker adolescents worshipped as dieties in a future beyond 1987/1989 and 1988 -- we are these days in an era " call back"s / meta referencing -- screens showing previous versions of the characters.

DC Comics Announces “The DC Book of Pride” and “DC Pride Through the Years”

The DC Book of Pride is a collaboration between DK and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. Authored by Jadzia Axelrod, the hardcover profiles over 50 of DC Comics’ LGBTQIA+ characters in detail, illustrating their origins, histories, superpowers, and key storylines.

In The Flash #53, by William Messner-Loebs and Greg LaRocque, Pied Piper, once a villain and now a hero, comes out to his friend the Flash and the two thwart a dastardly villain. In Detective Comics #854, by Greg Rucka and J.H. Willliams, features the beginning of Batwoman’s first solo series. In Supergirl #19, by Steve Orlando, Vita Ayala, and Jamal Campbell, Lee Serrano, a nonbinary teen, befriends Supergirl. Plus, the collection also features a new Alan Scott / Green Lantern story from Tim SHeridan and Cian Tormey that will tease new stories for the character.

Y’all should check out the Young Avengers: Paradox Lost series, Anthony Oliveira’s writing on it is delightful and this one is my favorite so far.
