In an effort to bring more awareness to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Marvel and the Susan G. Komen Foundation have teamed up to bring us a month’s worth of special edition variant covers with several of our favorite Marvel superheroes sporting pink in their costumes. The titles will also feature a one page ad educating readers on breast cancer.
