Marvel Reveals Cosplay Variant Covers

Marvel revealed covers being included in the publisher's cosplay variant program. Cosplaying Marvel fans will bring their favorite characters to life on the cover of 20 different covers, plus a 21st that remains "classified."

"Cosplayers are taking over," says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel in a press release. "Each convention I go to, it seems like there are more and more fans dressing up like their favorite Marvel characters. These homemade, hand-crafted costumes are so elaborate, it looks like they leapt off the comic page. The Cosplay Variant initiative is our way of supporting a community that supports us."

Check out 19 of the announced 20 covers in the gallery below (Not shown: Sam Wilson Captain America #1 Cosplay Variant by Eddie Newsome).

Marvel's cosplay variants ship out in October.
