Marvel is teaming with Susan G. Komen for the Cure to observer Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October with several pink-tinged variant covers, plus a one-page advertorial supplement educating readers on the issue.

The following comics, all out in October, will have Komen-themed variant covers:

· Avengers #31 · Captain America #18 · Captain Marvel #5 · Fantastic Four #611 · Invincible Iron Man #526 · Mighty Thor #21 · Uncanny X-Men #20 · Wolverine #315

"Marvel is proud to partner with Susan G. Komen For the Cure to support their unparalleled efforts to raise awareness about the risk of breast cancer to both women and men," Marvel publisher Dan Buckley said in a statement. "We're in a unique position to educate all our fans and increase awareness of the ways to fight — and reduce — this risk of this disease by utilizing our comics and online presence."

Marvel has announced that they'll also support this initiative through social media and content on Marvel.com.

"First, Marvel promotes gay 'marriage' in X-Men;..."

No, first it was dissing the TEA party with a black superhero looking at a TEA party gathering and saying "There's not many that look like me"

When did the commies take over Marvel?

Ah, yes...that issue of ‘Captain America’ from a few years back. Of course, DC featured the earth ‘goddess’ Gaia in their books back in the 90’s...
