Writer/artist Maria Frolich is also listed in both roles in Marvel’s credits for the anthology, though the announcement doesn’t state what character or characters she’ll be working on. Likewise, aside from Bustos and Frolich, neither Marvel’s announcement nor the included credits list the artists of the one-shot.
“Over the last four years, Marvel’s Voices has expanded and grown exponentially,” states Marvel’s Voices: Legacy #1 consulting editor and host of the Marvel’s Voices podcast Angélique Roché in the announcement.
“Most importantly, Marvel’s Voices has served as both an entry point and gathering place for fans and creatives new and old; spotlighting our voices and the diversity of storytelling in the Marvel Universe,” she continues.
“Marvel’s Voices: Legacy #1 in 2022 not only marks the beginning of a new year of Marvel’s Voices anthologies but a slate of incredible upcoming content, including our first Marvel’s Voices trades and collections, a brand new podcast season, and so much more.”
Marvel’s Voices: Legacy #1 goes on sale on February 16, 2022, with a cover from ChrisCross. Stay tuned to Newsarama for Marvel’s full February 2022 solicitations, coming later this month.
