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.
