Each issue will also feature a Disability Pride Variant Cover by one of several seminal artists: Jamie McKelvie, David Mack, Aaron Kuder, Leinil Francis Yu, and Stephen Segovia! 

Intersecting with a range of different disabilities, the iconic characters spotlighted include Daredevil, Misty Knight, Echo, Hawkeye, Silhouette, and Finesse.

Marvel’s Disability Pride Celebration is part of the Marvel’s Voices program, which delivers super-powered storytelling that explores the multitude of unique backgrounds, journeys and identities found in the Marvel Universe.

“It may sound a bit cheesy to say this is a dream project, but for these stories, I got to bring together a roster of spectacular heroes and write an epic adventure that's all about strength in community. It really is a dream come true.” Nijkamp said. 

"Super Heroes are meant to inspire us to be better, but sometimes we forget that the greatest inspirations come from real life,” Di Vito shared. “People with disabilities prove to each and every one of us that the true measure of our worth is our spirit and our will, not the limitations of our bodies.”

“I am happy to be working with Marieke Nijkamp,” he added. “Their work speaks with a true voice and shines through every character they write."
