Marvel Comics and the American Cancer Society are teaming up!  In September five Marvel titles will have variant covers to commemorate National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.  The five titles that will have the variant covers are: All-New, All-Different Avengers #14; Captain America: Steve Rogers #6; Captain Marvel #9; Invincible Iron Man #13; and Mighty Thor #11.  So if you are a comic collector and like variant covers you might want to visit you local comic book store to see if you can get the covers.  Thanks to ICv2’s Nicole Bunge for the update.

Marvel Goes Pink in October

   

Marvel Entertainment is helping the Susan G. Komen for the Cure during this coming October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Marvel will have a select number of titles that will have pink covers with the characters in pink highlighted costumes.  This is a great way to help a worthy cause.  I’m pretty sure, including myself, that everyone has a loved one or friend that has had to fight breast cancer.  The issues involved with the promotional will be: Avengers #31; Captain America #18; Captain Marvel #5; Fantastic Four #661; Invincible Ironman #526; Mighty Thor #21; Uncanny X-Men #20; and Wolverine #315.  This is just a current listing and more titles could be added to the promotional.   Each issue will have one page in the comic to educate readers about breast cancer.
