Hours after DC announced its plan to celebrate Pride Month, Marvel Comics announced its own plans to celebrate the LGBTQI+ community.
The Marvel's Voices: Pride anthology will return in June for a second annual edition showcasing Marvel LGBTQI+ characters and creators.
According to the publisher, Marvel's Voices: Pride will give creators and readers an opportunity to "explore and celebrate the wide range of identities and experiences of the LGBTQI+ community with uplifting and exciting adventures all set in the main Marvel Universe!"
