Take A Look At Marvel Comics’ Pride Variants From Luciano Vecchio

by Tony Thornley

Artist Luciano Vecchio’s star keeps rising, and it’s easy to see why. This year the superstar artist has created five new incredible covers to celebrate Pride this June.

Featuring a variety of LGBTQ Marvel superstars, Vecchio brings his trademark character spotlight design to five different issues across Marvel’s June releases. These covers include:

· Felicia Hardy, A.K.A. Black Cat, Marvel’s sexiest and most skilled cat burglar, currently starring in an acclaimed solo run by G. Willow Wilson and Gleb Melnikov.

· Akihiro Logan, the feral mutant warrior and son of Wolverine, now bonded with a demonic Spirit of Vengeance and raising hell in Inglorious X-Force by Tim Seeley and Michael Sta. Maria as the Hellverine.

· Hela, queen of the Asgardian underworld who has seized Knull’s throne and is building a fearsome symbiote army — a campaign depicted in the upcoming Queen in Black, this summer’s epic crossover event from Al Ewing and Iban Coello.

· Bobby Drake, A.K.A. Iceman, original X-Man, currently using his charm, experience and power to guide the next generation of mutantkind in X-Men United by Eve L. Ewing and Tiago Palma.

· Kitty Pryde, one of the X-Men’s most prominent and dedicated leaders, who also stars in X-Men United as headmistress of Emma Frost’s new Graymatter Lane, the next step of mutant education.
