Tegan Quin, part of the pop-indie duo Tegan and Sara, has contributed to the Marvel Comics pride special one-shot, “Wiccan & Hulking: Raid of Ultron #1,” set to release on May 27. This comic showcases the beloved gay couple Wiccan and Hulkling along with their families, emphasizing the significance of community and solidarity during challenging times. Quin’s narrative, brought to life by Luciano Vecchio’s illustrations, follows the journey of twins Wiccan and Speed as they unite to combat Ultron while navigating their evolving paths as siblings. Expressing her enthusiasm, Quin mentioned, “As a twin, I couldn’t have been more thrilled to write about Wiccan and Speed in the Marvel Universe. Debuting with this story is not just exciting, it feels truly magical. Crushing an Ultron into oblivion in these pages was quite cathartic, given my encounters with certain individuals in the music industry over the years.”
“Wiccan & Hulking” will also include contributions from writers Wyatt Kennedy, Josh Trujillo, and Zoe Tunnell, as well as artists Rachael Stott, Bradley Clayton, and Stephen Byrne. Vancouver-based Quin is also advocating for Loghan Paylor’s novel “The Cure for Drowning” on Canada Reads 2026. On Canada Reads, five Canadian personalities each select a book for national reading, engaging in a four-day debate where one book is eliminated daily until a winner emerges.
The upcoming edition of Canada Reads is scheduled for April 13 to 16. Throughout Quin’s career, she and her sister have launched 10 studio albums, featuring popular tracks like “Closer,” “Where Does The Good Go,” and “Walking with A Ghost.” With over a million records sold, they have garnered various accolades including Juno and GLAAD awards, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, as well as nominations for the Polaris Music Prize and the Grammy Awards. In 2019, the twins transitioned from songwriting to authorship with their joint memoir, “High School,” and the middle-grade graphic novel series “Tegan & Sara: Junior High,” illustrated by Tillie Walden. Additionally, they established the Tegan and Sara Foundation to provide support and investments in 2SLGBTQ+ communities, earning them the Humanitarian Award at the 2024 Junos.
