Today, Marvel Comics has released the final Phil Jimenez variant cover set to celebrate Pride Month and it features Mystique. This cover will grace X-Men #21 which comes out June 9th. Just last week, the second to last cover was revealed featuring Black Cat.
“I’m always blown away at how different things are now in comics when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation than when I started, and Marvel’s dedication to that inclusion,” Jimenez said. “As an (ahem!) older gay creator, I’m always thrilled by the opportunity to draw iconic LGBTQ+ characters from Marvel’s past and present, and grateful to contribute to Marvel’s future: one that truly represents the world — and the wonderful diversity of humanity — right outside your window.”
