Marvel Comics’ Pride celebration returns this June with six all-new Pride Variant Covers drawn by superstar cover artist Meghan Hetrick.
For the fifth consecutive year, Marvel’s Pride Variant Covers spotlight the LGBTQIA+ community with stunning portraits of LGTQIA+ characters—ranging from iconic heroes to recently introduced breakout stars. The covers can be found on Deadpool #15, Exceptional X-Men #10, Immortal Thor #24, New Champions #6, Runaways #1, and X-Men #17 throughout June.
The characters featured this year are:
KITTY PRYDE, beloved X-Man and pillar of the mutant community! Kitty is currently guiding a trio of new mutants in the critically-accalaimed Exceptional X-Men ongoing series by Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero.
KID JUGGERNAUT, aka Justin Jin, who made his unstoppable debut in the Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic where his family’s secret legacy with the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak was revealed! Now, Kid Juggernaut uses his superhuman strength to be a champion for others in the hit Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic on Marvel Unlimited, written by co-creator Anthony Oliveira.
LOKI, the God of Mischief! Over the decades, Loki has evolved from maniacal supervillain into one of Marvel’s most complex protagonists, with their most recent character-redefining journey occurring in the pages of Al Ewing and Jan Bazaldua’s bold Immortal Thor series.
NICO MINORU, the young sorceress of Runaways and Midnight Suns fame. Nico and the Runaways return this June in a new One World Under Doom tie-in limited series by Rainbow Rowell and Elena Casagrande–Hetrick’s Pride Variant Cover will be featured on the debut issue!
PRODIGY, aka David Alleyne, a breakout character from the X-Men’s Academy X generation. The super-genuis mutant went on to star in titles like Young Avengers, X-Factor, and most recently, NYX by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Francesco Mortarino.
VALENTINE VUONG, the elite assassin who stole Wade Wilson’s heart during Alyssa Wong’s 2023 run of Deadpool, and recently resurfaced in the Merc with a Mouth’s current solo series by Cody Ziglar and Rogê Antônio.
“It was an honor to be asked to work on this year’s Pride Variant Covers. Celebrating these characters in vibrant, personal ways felt especially meaningful right now,” Hetrick shared.
Mentally ill.
"Get get me pictures of freaks. Not the kind Spider-Man plays with - the REALLY freaky ones who read trash to little kids in libraries and wave their things around in parades. Above the waist! This is a family publication."
I feel sorry for its parents. They can't even mourn their dead daughter. Instead, they have to try to pretend to be happy that that Frankensteinian thing has taken their daughter's place.
I sometimes imagine a conversation like this:
GENDER REASSIGNMENT DOCTOR: Which would you rather have, a living son or a dead daughter?
PARENTS: Actually, what we'd really like is a second opinion, from someone not affiliated with your hospital and who doesn't make their living spaying and neutering human children. They hanged Nazis for doing this kind of thing, you know.
And satanic.
And apparently she has a role in the upcoming Christopher Nolan version of “The Odyssey”.
Women can have a washboard. Many years ago I did. A women taking testosterone, it would be easier.
Still, that image of mutilation is sick and pathetic.
Marvel jumped the shark years ago.
