All throughout the month of June, Marvel Unlimited will be releasing free comics featuring Black writers and artists.
The selections have been pulled from across the publisher's history and feature a variety of iconic characters including Black Panther, Luke Cage, Blue Marvel and Ironheart. In a statement, Marvel Unlimited said, "Black voices, creators, and characters are an intertwined part of Marvel history." The statement continued, "These comics aim to celebrate their legacies, whether stretching back decades or just this year."
The list of comics include Power Man and Iron Fist Vol 1: The Boys are Back In Town by David F. Walker and Sanford Greene; Black Panther: The Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Daniel Acuna and Jen Bartel; Black Panther: The Client by Christopher Priest and Mark Texeria; Adam: Legend of the Blue Marvel by Kevin Grevioux, Mat Broome, Kaare Andrews, and Roberto Castro, and Ironheart: Those With Courage by Eve L. Ewing, Kevin Librando, Luciano Vecchino, and G Geoffo; among others.
Several comics by the late Dwayne McDuffie will also be available. McDuffie co-wrote Deathlok: The Souls of Cyber-Folk with Gregory Wright, and would later pen a Fantastic Four arc that saw Black Panther and Storm joining the team. He also co-created Damage Control with Ernie Colon. The series focuses on an agency that cleans up the fallout from superhuman battles.
The comics will be made available via an update for the Marvel Unlimited app for iOS or Android.
