Marvel Comics Is Celebrating LGBTQ+ Heroes & Pride With Gorgeous Variant Covers
Marvel Comics is back celebrating Pride Month with more beautiful variant covers!
Marvel's Voices: Prideisn't the only way the comics company will be celebrating Pride Month this year, as it also revealed some gorgeous variant covers by Luciano Vecchio and Betsy Cola depicting some of the Marvel universe's most powerful LGBTQ+ characters.
Marvel's Pride celebrations come at the heels of a statement from Marvel Studios denouncing "any and ALL legislation that infringes on the basic human rights of the LGBTQIA+ community." The statement was in response to Disney being called out for donating to lawmakers who support Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill, which the company only recently stopped doing after widespread backlash.
These covers will debut throughout June, and feature some of Marvel's best-known and most-celebrated queer heroes, both old and new. Scroll through to see them all.
