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 release on May 27. The comic showcases the well-known gay couple Wiccan and Hulkling along with their families, emphasizing the significance of community and connections during challenging times.
In the story penned by Quin and illustrated by Luciano Vecchio, twins Wiccan and Speed join forces to combat Ultron while navigating their distinct paths as siblings. Quin expressed her excitement, stating, “As a twin myself, I truly can’t think of two characters in the Marvel Universe I would have been more excited to write than Wiccan and Speed.”
The upcoming comic also includes contributions from writers Wyatt Kennedy, Josh Trujillo, and Zoe Tunnell, as well as artists Rachael Stott, Bradley Clayton, and Stephen Byrne. Based in Vancouver, Quin is also endorsing Loghan Paylor’s novel The Cure for Drowning on Canada Reads 2026.
Canada Reads is an event where five Canadian celebrities select one book for the nation to read, engaging in debates and eliminations over four days to determine the winning book. This year’s edition is scheduled for April 13 to 16.
Throughout her career, Quin and her sister have released 10 studio albums, featuring popular tracks like Closer, Where Does The Good Go, and Walking with A Ghost. Their achievements include selling over a million records, receiving Juno and GLAAD awards, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and being nominated for accolades such as the Polaris Music Prize and Grammy Awards.
In 2019, the duo expanded their writing endeavors from songs to literature 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 for 2SLGBTQ+ communities, earning them the Humanitarian Award at the 2024 Junos.
