Here’s Your First Look At The “Women of Marvel” Variant Covers Coming This March

Yay talented ladies!

by Victoria McNally Jan 28th

Despite the fact that DC Comics and Marvel are slowly, sloooowly geting better when it comes featuring different types of gender, racial, and body diversity in their books, the behind-the-scenes ratio of male to female comic creators leaves something to be desired. So it's cool to see that in March, Marvel will be doing a special variant cover event to highlight their pool of female artists. But is it enough?
