Comic book giants DC Comics and Marvel Comics are celebrating Pride month by releasing graphic novels celebrating queer characters. The companies have both announced they will launch LGBTQ anthologies in June. Here's what we know so far.

The sticker card depicts BTS members in whack-a-mole holes with bruised faces, a Grammy trophy over their heads and text that reads"BTS Bruisers." The band did not take home any Grammy awards on Sunday. The trading card and collectibles company initially included the card as part of a Grammys-edition deck of Garbage Pail Kids sticker cards, a series released in 1985 as a parody to the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.

I'm not a fan of theirs but this is so wrong. Why would they even produce a card like that? There should be an investigation into who designed and approved it.
