February is Black History Month in the US, and in 2024 Marvel will be celebrating in style. In previous years, Marvel released special one-shots and a series of variant covers. Earlier this week, they announced a series of spotlight covers for some of our favourite superheroes, as well as a few special appearances.
Captain America #6 Black history Month variant cover by Mateus Manhanini. On sale 7th February. 
Fantastic Four #17 Black History Month variant cover by Ernanda Souza. On sale 7th Fabruary. 
Black Panther #9 Black History Month variant cover by Dotun Akande. On sale 14th February. 
Amazing Spider-Man #44 Black History Month variant cover by Karen Darboe. On sale 28th Fabruary.
Some of the biggest heroes will get a special variant cover, including Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Panther and more. The variant for Night Thrasher will also grace the cover of the first issue of his all-new ongoing series.
But this variant cover will be a little different for Black Panther. Earlier in the year, Marvel released a series of secret sidekick New Champions variant covers to celebrate the arrival of Spider-Boy. This included Ernanda Souza’s version of a young Black Panther, and now she’ll be making her return for this special cover. Could she also be the next New Champion to make it to the page? Be sure to pick up Peach Momoko’s series Ultimate X-Men to find out more!
