[http://www.pridecomics.com '''''Pride High'''''] is a comic book series written by Tommy Roddy and published by Pride Comics. It follows a gay/straight alliance at a [[Super-Hero School|superhero high school]]. The website also allows for readers to create their own characters on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131226233201/http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards], and these characters have a chance to appear on the comic (and one of them has even joined the core group of characters).
Within the story, ''Pride High'' is the titular gay/straight alliance, and they act as a squad for the school's Inter-Squad Championships (ISC), in which students sharing a unifying interest form a five-person squad and compete with other said squads throughout the year in academics and, more noticeably, physical stadium matches. The prime antagonist squad to Pride High is called the Argonauts, a group of primarily super-strong characters.

* [[Schedule Slip]]: Due to the independent nature of the comics, schedules are rarely kept. Issue 8 was scheduled for July 2008, but was finally released as a preview on the message boards on November 2011. Issue 9 is still scheduled, though.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Issue 7--"I heard one of the girls scream." "That was Chip."
* [[Shared Universe]]: Implied with [http://www.luckylegendary.com Lucky Legendary] and Heroscribe Comics. These could be alternate universe versions, however. This could mean that [http://www.sosuperduper.com So Super Duper] is in their universe, as well, but it is debatable whether said comic appears in the Heroscribe universe (the indication: a Psyche side-story was included in Heroscibe's Queeroes anthology and was originally posted on its website—the comic itself did not explicitly tie in with the other heroes). As well, some stories in the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131226233201/http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards] may also take place in the main universe.
* [[Shout-Out]]: So subtle it's almost a whisper out, but of you look closely at the beach scene in the latest update, you can see that KO is reading Hero, a real life novel about a gay teen superhero. If you've seen the cover before, it's obvious.
* [[Sidekick]]: In the original conception, the kids were supposed to be this to the adult heroes (upon whom the series was to revolve). Kid Mischief was obviously supposed to be Mischief's sidekick.

* [[Alternate Universe Fic]]: Some stories on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131226233201/http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards] are explicitly not canon (and others might be out of canon, as well), the most notable being ''My Deadly Valentine'', ''Poseidon Preparatory Academy for Successful/Exceptional Youth'' and ''The Thirteen Trials of Dionysus Tan''.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Still and Red Shadow (who combines this with [[Playing with Fire]]).
* [[Animorphism]]: Protean, Dragrant, Animal Boy.
