This year’s Marvel’s Voices: Pride sets out to not only tell rewarding self-contained stories, but will tie into upcoming titles and storylines for characters like Black Cat, Hulkling and Wiccan, and more. It also carries in the tradition of the previous one-shots by introducing new characters, such as Sommus and Escapade.

- Author H.E. Edgmon introduces a brand-new symbiote character!
- And much, much more!
Marvel will also be releasing a series of Pride Variant Covers to go along Marvel’s Voices: Pride, promising to honor both Marvel and Star Wars characters across the respective universes. Marvel has already shared a first look at the Star Wars variants, and will be releasing the Marvel variants later today.
A new Loki miniseries is also launching this June, representing one of the series focusing on LGBTQIA+ characters in Marvel’s publishing line. Fans can also continue to celebrate Pride in the Marvel Universe this June in current titles like Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain, New Mutants: Lethal Legion, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Star Wars: Sana Starros, and more, plus upcoming titles and Marvel Unlimited Infinity Comics this summer, including a yet to be announced FALL OF X title!
