MARVEL'S VOICES: LEGACY #1 Launches Next Month
Marvel plans on celebrating Black History Month in February with the release of Marvel’s Voices: Legacy #1. This comic will be a collection of stories from a variety of creators as well as variant covers that look awesome. Nic Stone (Shuri: A Black Panther Novel) will provide an introduction for the book before we dive into stories from creators including Nnedi Okorafor (Shuri), Danny Lore (2020 Ironheart), John Ridley, and Ho Che Anderson (King). Art for the book will be provided by ChrisCross, Valentine De Landro, Sean Damien Hill, Ken Lashley, Natacha Bustos, Chris Allen, and Olivier Coipel.
Eisner Award-winning writer Nnedi Okorafor pens a Venom story highlighting the importance of heroes who fight for the downtrodden. Explore Blade’s legacy – vampiric and heroic – in a story by writer Danny Lore. And in their exciting Marvel Comics debuts, Ho Che Anderson brings Luke Cage fans an old-school story about the choices that make a hero, author Tochi Onyebuchi (Beasts Made of Night, War Girls) tells an action-packed tale of a wild night in Madripoor with Domino, writer Stephanie Williams highlights family in a light-hearted Monica Rambeau story, and Marvel’s most promising young heroes—Ironheart, Ms. Marvel, and Shuri— team up for an adventure by award-winning novelist Mohale Mashigo (The Yearning)! Lastly, Academy Award winning screenwriter John Ridley closes out this epic issue with a poignant look at the impact of Miles Morales.
Talking about Marvel’s Voices: Legacy, Ridley said:
I’m deeply appreciative of having had the opportunity to contribute to this amazing collection of narratives. Marvel’s Voices reminds us all of the power of words, representation and self-expression. And to be able to add to the growing legacy of Miles Morales….That’s about as good as it gets.
