The next edition in the Marvel’s Voices anthology series will focus on Pride Month, and Marvel has released variant covers and interior pages featuring some of your favorite LGBTQIA+ heroes. Not only will these characters be in the spotlight, but creators from the LGBTQIA+ community will also be crafting their stories, with some of them even making their Marvel Comics debuts. Previous Marvel’s Voices: Pride one-shots brought with them the introductions of Somnus and Escapade, who went on to star in series such as Marauders and New Mutants, and readers can expect the same to happen this year.

There will be a number of different Marvel Comics titles published in June to spotlight LGBTQIA+ heroes. For example, a new Loki limited series will launch, and other titles that celebrate Pride include Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain, New Mutants: Lethal Legion, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Star Wars: Sana Starros, and more, plus upcoming Marvel Unlimited Infinity Comics and new series’ Astonishing Iceman, Alpha Flight, Dark X-Men, and more.
