Tegan Quin, part of the pop-indie duo Tegan and Sara, has contributed to the Marvel Comics pride special one-shot, titled Wiccan & Hulking: Raid of Ultron #1, set to be released on May 27th. The comic showcases the beloved gay couple Wiccan and Hulkling along with their families, emphasizing the significance of unity and relationships during challenging times.
In the story penned by Quin and illustrated by Luciano Vecchio, the narrative follows twins Wiccan and Speed as they unite to combat Ultron while navigating their distinct paths as siblings. Expressing her enthusiasm, Quin mentioned on Marvel’s website, “As a twin myself, I couldn’t have been more thrilled to write about Wiccan and Speed in the Marvel Universe. Debuting with this story is not only exciting but feels truly magical. Crushing an Ultron into oblivion on the pages was incredibly cathartic, especially considering my encounters with certain individuals in the music industry over the years.”
Apart from Quin, other contributors to Wiccan & Hulking include writers Wyatt Kennedy, Josh Trujillo, and Zoe Tunnell, as well as artists Rachael Stott, Bradley Clayton, and Stephen Byrne. Additionally, Quin, residing in Vancouver, is actively promoting Loghan Paylor’s novel The Cure for Drowning on Canada Reads 2026.
In the upcoming edition of Canada Reads, five Canadian celebrities will each advocate for a book they believe the entire nation should read. Through debates held over four days, one book will be eliminated daily until a winner is declared.
Scheduled for April 13 to 16, this year’s Canada Reads promises engaging discussions and literary insights. Throughout her career, Quin and her sister have launched 10 studio albums, featuring popular tracks like Closer, Where Does The Good Go, and Walking with A Ghost. Their musical endeavors have garnered over a million records sold, along with prestigious recognitions such as Juno and GLAAD awards, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and nominations for the Polaris Music Prize and the Grammy Awards.
In 2019, the talented duo transitioned from songwriting to book authorship with their collaborative memoir, High School, and the middle-grade graphic novel series Tegan & Sara: Junior High, illustrated by Tillie Walden. Furthermore, they established the Tegan and Sara Foundation to provide support and resources for 2SLGBTQ+ communities, earning them the Humanitarian Award at the 2024 Junos.
