Saw this posted on the X-Boards by juan678; seemed appropriate to post it here, too. ;D

Does anyone know which of the variants for Marvel Voices Pride is the incentive variant? (Or how I could figure this out?)

According to eBay, it's this one:



Marvels Voices Pride 1 1:100 Rainbow Variant Incentive Variant PRE-SALE 6/23:

Actually, that might just be the 2021 one... sorry, I was confused because it said "Presale."

The Week In Gay:

Black Panther #6 - Aneka and Ayo (the Midnight Angels) appeared

Knights Of X #2 - multiple LGBT characters in this cast. There was an interaction or two where it seemed like Sherrif Whitechapel might be flirting with Betsy a bit, but its too soon to say.

X-Men '92: House Of XCII #2 - alternate reality versions of multiple LGBT X-characters appearing here, including Iceman, Northstar, Mystique, Shatterstar, Rictor.

Iceman Infinity Comic #1 of 4 - the launch of a 4 issue digital miniseries starring Iceman, written and drawn by Vecchio. I expect this will likely get a print release as well, like the HULKLING & WICCAN one is -- probably with the Iceman New Year's Eve special bundled in with it too.

And for the start of Pride month, Marvel has also announced a bunch of new Pride-themed Marvel t-shirts for sale...although I have not been able to find most of those designs listed yet at the link they provided.

Has anyone here read Angela: Asgard's Assassin and Angela: Queen of Hel? I've been looking into reading more queer Marvel stories and was wondering if they were worthwhile reads.

I've read both of them and I loved the series a lot, and it was those series that made me fall in love with Angela and Sera. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but, it's a pretty fun read and is def worth a look.

I'd recommend both. Also, I'd recommend reading 1602: Witch Hunter Angela. It was a Secret Wars tie-in that came in between Asgard's Assassin and Queen Of Hel, and while it doesn't feature the 616 version of the characters, it does feature a plot point that comes back on the second arc of Queen Of Hel. So it's an interesting bridge material between both volumes.

[Kingdom X]

Thank you both! Definitely checking them out and I’ll add the Secret Wars tie-in to my buy list!

Wasn't there an Angela in the Secret Wars tie-in for Guardians of the Galaxy? I think it was called Guardians of Nowhere.

I don't even remember. I just mentioned Witch Hunter because it was more relevant for her solo book.

Well, it was about time. They look fab. I love how camp the design is, with fake lashes on the mask and all.

So this is the Van Dyne one?

Yeah. The other one is supposed to be a Kraven variant, who's clearly the one on top.

Absolutely. I think at some point we need a team-up story with Web-Weaver, Janet Van Dyne and Jumbo Carnation! Superhero fashion designers unite!

Yeah. The other one is supposed to be a Kraven variant, who's clearly the one on top.

*ahem* Phrasing.

The Week In Gay:

Captain America: Sentinel Of Liberty #1 - Roger Aubrey (aka the 2nd Mighty Destroyer) appears in this first issue of Steve Rogers new ongoing series.

Fantastic Four #44 - a number of LGBT characters are a part of the army of cosmic heroes that Human Torch leads into battle here, but I think Wiccan is the only one who is actually visible on-panel in this issue.

Hulkling & Wiccan #1 - this one-shot is the print collection of the digital Infinity Comic miniseries from last year.

The Marvels #11 - Black Cat is part of the cast

Spider-Man 2099: Exodus #2 - the 2099 version of Loki appears

Wolverine #22 - Deadpool continues to guest star

Marvel's Voices: Iceman Infinity Comic #3

Ben Reilly: Spider-Man #5 of 5 has a somewhat awkward inclusion -- an obscure villain named Sir, who is a sort-of trans character by way of mental illness. Martha was a mentally unbalanced woman who hates women (whom she views as weak due to the abuse and victimization she suffered as a woman) and underwent mad scientist treatments and surgeries to become a massive masculine strong man...although apparently stopped short of a complete sex change. Sir made a handful of appearances in the 90s up against Daredevil and Spider-Man. Given how few trans characters there are in comics even today, its unfortunate that one of Marvel's earliest examples is a case of mental illness rather than a "proper" (for lack of a better word) trans character.
