8 Comics to Read This Pride Month
Suburban moms, international locales, caped-and-cowled heroes and villains and a couple of autobiographical tales are all part of the mix in this collection of comic books and graphic novels celebrating L.G.B.T.Q.+ champions. Happy Pride! Hey, Mary! A teenage boy, Mark Dudyk, is struggling to reconcile his sexual identity with his Christianity. The story is thoughtful and also takes provocative leaps: Mark envisions conversations with saints whose sexuality was erased in interpretations of the Bible. The soldiers and martyrs Sergius and Bacchus, who are drawn here with the chiseled good looks of runway models, present a simple truth: 'There have always been queer people, since before we had the language for it.' Written by Andrew Wheeler and drawn by Rye Hickman. (Oni Press. Available now.) Love Languages Sarah Huxley and Ping Loh have their meet-cute moment in Paris when Sarah, trying to avoid two aggressive mimes, stumbles on a street and Ping comes to her aid. An unlikely relationship begins — one that has to surmount a language barrier: The women communicate haltingly in English, French and Cantonese. (The word balloons include English translations of what is being spoken.) There is a joyous moment for the women when Sarah finally gets the hang of Cantonese. By James Albon. (Top Shelf. Available Now.) Motherlover Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Paragon Films announces expansion into Mexico
US-based stretch films maker Paragon Films has unveiled plans to extend its manufacturing operations into Mexico. The company will acquire a new plant in San Luis Potosí to enhance its production capabilities and bolster its presence in crucial markets throughout Mexico and the wider continent. Equipped with Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H) machinery, the new facility will enhance Paragon Films' production efficiency. This new plant will complement Paragon Films' existing sites in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Washington in the US. The new location will also streamline logistics and cut transportation costs within the region. The expansion is expected to have a positive economic impact by generating multiple job opportunities in San Luis Potosí. Paragon Films says it is committed to integrating environmentally friendly practices at the new plant. This supports the company's broader sustainability goals across its global operations. The new facility is expected to be fully operational by December 2025. Paragon Films CEO Darin Tang said: 'We are thrilled to expand our operations into Mexico. 'This new facility will not only allow us to better serve our growing customer base but also demonstrates our dedication to investing in the latest W&H technology to maintain our position as an industry leader.' Headquartered in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Paragon Films continues to focus on developing stretch film technologies that aid customers in meeting their sustainability objectives. W&H North America president Andrew Wheeler said: 'W&H is excited to support Paragon Films in enhancing their position within the stretch film industry.'
