Marvel Teams Up with American Cancer Society for Prostate Cancer Awareness Covers

Marvel Entertainment and The American Cancer Society are proud to reveal the complete lineup of all-new variant covers to be released in September to commemorate National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Throughout the month of September, the world’s most popular Marvel Super Heroes—Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor, and the Avengers —will be featured on all-new variant covers with special light blue-colored costumes to bring awareness to one of the most common cancers among men.

“Working with The American Cancer Society, we learned that more than 2 million men in the US count themselves as prostate cancer survivors and it’s an honor to continue bringing awareness to further increase the survival rate,” said David Gabriel, SVP Sales & Marketing, Marvel. “We hope that all our fans take a moment during the month of September to educate themselves, as well as their loved ones, on how they can work with their healthcare provider on how to combat this disease.”

The following September titles from Marvel will feature special American Cancer Society Prostate Cancer Awareness variant covers:

• · ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS #14
• · CAPTAIN AMERICA: STEVE ROGERS #6
• · CAPTAIN MARVEL #9
• · INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #13
• · MIGHTY THOR #11

“The American Cancer Society is honored to be invited to work with Marvel to raise awareness of prostate cancer this September,” said Dr. Richard Wender, Chief Cancer Control Officer for the American Cancer Society. “This campaign will allow us to share critical information with Marvel fans on how to take positive action to ensure better health for both themselves and their loved ones.”

The blue Iron Man looks nice actually.

I was thinking, they could create awareness with a special comic themed around getting a colonoscopy. Oh, it'd be a perfect Deadpool/Cable team-up!

That is one sleek looking Iron Man cover.

Nice colors

Oh these are so much better than what I had in mind... what I had in mind was not good.

These are awesome !!! im all for them. hopefully they'll be easy to obtain.

They look pretty good. I see Tony had his special Prostate Massage Armor on

This.

I thought they were going to have various Marvel superheroes with bulging testicles because of tumors/cancer on the cover

Based on what I'm seeing, I actually wish there were more. Give the men a ton of blue covers and the women a ton of pink, cause these are seriously awesome-looking.

playing with the snake also fights prostate cancer

Nice.

Right? I was all ready for wolverine to be on the cover with a word bubble that just says "have your butt checked"

When I say this "Marvel Teams Up with American Cancer Society for Prostate Cancer Awareness Covers" I was worried I'd be seeing various members of Marvel getting rectal exams

Are we talking about an actual snake....or the "snake"?

@heatblaze123: the snake

Nice....

I guess mutants can't get prostate cancer.

I'm kinda surprised because what's considered male cancer doesn't get the attention female cancers do.

Agreed.

Men are expected to just walk it off, lol.

Thats really cool. Im surprised they didnt do Deadpool considering some of the ads for the movie.

The blue and Gold Iron Man armor looks pretty sweet. Wouldn't mind that for a run.

That's cool. That Iron Man costume looks great! Vision doesn't look too bad either.

Iron man and Vision actually look alright in blue.

Love the colors

According to Chuck Austen, they can't get AIDS, either.

I like these. I like these a lot.

Nice to see something that surprisingly doesn't get that much attention. Also that Iron Man cover is absolutely beautiful.

Blue Iron Man is actually pretty awesome.

Some of the comments here are awesome. Cancer is such a funny thing!

Seriously. Stop. You're not being funny.
