Marvel Comics has released two new variant covers celebrating Native American Heritage month, which will grace Ghost Rider #20 and Sensational She-Hulk #2. Both issues feature backup stories written and drawn by Indigenous and First Nations creators. These tales will feature the titular heroes fighting alongside fellow Marvel icons: Kushala, aka the Spirit Rider, and Wyatt Wingfoot.
These eight-page specials will give readers a chance to discover Kushala and Wyatt Wingfoot’s goals and legacy, all while setting them up for exciting future journeys in the Marvel Universe. In addition, these two extra-sized issues will have Marvel’s Voices Heritage Variant Covers that spotlight these pairings by award-winning Cherokee artist Roy Boney.
Here’s a closer look at both backups:
- Witness a fiery vengeance that’s been burning for centuries in a story by writer Steven Paul Judd and artist Shaun Beyale! Johnny Blaze, Ghost Rider, crosses paths with Kushala, the Sorcerer Supreme and Ghost Rider of the 1800s also known as Spirit Rider, and as they rev up for battle against an ancient foe, they’ll learn about the different methods they use to tame the spirit of vengeance!
- The Best Friend of the Marvel Universe and She-Hulk’s ex-boyfriend makes his triumphant return in a story by writer Bobby Wilson and artist David Cutler! It’s up to Wyatt Wingfoot and She-Hulk to defend Washington D.C. from a full-blown Negative Zone invasion. Powered up by new tech and strengthened by his status as chief of the Keewazi Nation, Wyatt finds an inventive solution to stopping Blastaar’s endless forces!
