Love Is Love is a 144-page graphic novel released in December 2016 by IDW Publishing in collaboration with DC Entertainment with many characters appearing from other publishers and franchises with explicit permission in tribute to the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting. The comic became a New York Times bestseller and over US$165,000 was raised by the sales, which was donated to the victims.[1][2] The comic was produced with volunteer work by dozens of artists and featured the first official comic based on the Harry Potter media franchise.[3][4][5]
