Black History Month will see the release of Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever, and Marvel has released the first look pages from the acclaimed anthology series. The newest edition of Marvel’s Voices will put the spotlight on Wakanda’s cast of characters and heroes, and recruits a lineup of Black creators making their Marvel debut, along with some familiar faces. This comes on the heels of the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which set the record for the highest-grossing female-led superhero movie in the history of the United States box office. Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever promises from Marvel Studios creators and Eisner Award-winners.

“Ever since we first started bringing Marvel’s Voices into our comics back in 2020, it’s been so inspiring to see our stories grow and evolve, bringing up a fantastic lineup of new characters and creators,” said Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski. “Looking ahead to 2023, we’re excited to expand the anthology series to broaden our focus on characters and families, giving our writers, editors, and readers more stories and more characters in the grand tradition of MARVEL’S VOICES.”
