Ahead of its August 25th release, Marvel Comics has revealed all six covers set to release for Marvel’s Voices: Identity #1. The one-shot series is designed to lift up marginalized voices and this edition celebrates Asian superheroes and creators. The final order cutoff for comics shops is August 2nd.
The one-shot will feature heroes starring Shang-Chi, Jubilee, Silk, Jimmy Woo, Ms. Marvel, Wave, Silhouette, Armor, and Silver Samurai.
“It’s unreal to me that one of Marvel’s first Asian super heroes, Jimmy Woo, was first introduced in 1956. He predates the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-Men,” Editor Darren Shan said. “It just goes to show that Asians have been an integral part of Marvel’s history, both on the page and behind it. So I’m incredibly excited to celebrate that with all these amazing creators, new and established, featuring some of Marvel’s greatest (and dare I say it, best) super heroes!”
Check out all the covers below. The covers are by Jim Cheung, Inhyuk Lee, Peach Momoko, Philip Tan, Mashal Ahmed, and Rian Gonzales.
