Marvel and Star Wars celebrate Black History Month 2025 with new variant covers

December 7, 2024 by Gary Collinson

Marvel Comics has announced that it will mark Black History Month 2025 with a series of Star Wars variant covers on sale throughout February as artists Karen S. Darboe, Ken Lashley, Mateus Manhanini and Ernanda Souza spotlight Black characters from the galaxy far, far away.

This year’s covers incorporate recent Star Wars media such as Star Wars: The Acolyte and Star Wars Outlaws, and feature:

  • Mother Aniseya, the leader of a mysterious coven of Force users on the planet Brendok who debuted earlier this year in Star Wars: The Acolyte.
  • Osha & Mae, twin sisters with powerful connections to the Force and the stars of Star Wars: The Acolyte, where their conflicting views on the Jedi threatened their bond.
  • Vail, a cunning bounty hunter who players met in Star Wars Outlaws, the first-ever open world Star Wars game
  • Lando Calrissian, the beloved Rebel hero from the Original Trilogy who returned to fight against the First Order in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
