Comics fanatics should go back to their wardrobe and get those flimsy swim trunks and flippy-floppys, because Marvel is going with you to the beach for a revived edition of its iconic '90s swimsuit special that lands 30 years after the previous edition last hit stands.
And as if the promise of some fun in the sun and superhero swimwear isn't enough to bring you in, the new one-shot, officially titled "Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1", will also debut some steamy new skins coming to smash-hit hero shooter game Marvel Rivals. The comic, which is largely a pin-up gallery, will feature contributions from artists Nic Klein, Marguerite Sauvage, Luciano Vecchio, and more.
"THE SWIMSUIT SPECIAL RETURNS!" boasts Marvel's official solicitation text for "Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1".
"Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own UNAUTHORIZED SWIMSUIT SPECIAL! Wasp is on the case and seizes the opportunity for Marvel’s heroes to do their OWN swimwear fashion shoot all over the world! But fear not, True Believers, we know what you're REALLY here for! This super-sized special features splash page after splash page of gorgeous art, but with a story so you can pretend you’re 'reading it for the articles'…"
Marvel's really not shying away from the basest appeal of superheroes in swimsuits there. But the publisher is hiding it in a veneer of satire thanks to its mention of Roxxon Comics.
