Oh boy! The newest Marvel Comics covers are putting a Disney twist on pivotal moments in the Marvel Universe.
In celebration of the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary this year, Marvel Comics will be releasing special monthly Disney100 variant covers featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and more.
These new covers will celebrate the past, present, and future of Marvel through the iconic “What If” framework, reimagining some of Marvel’s most well-known comic book covers. The initial trio of covers will pay homage to the founding of the Marvel Universe, while the next set will celebrate Marvel’s modern stories.
Some of Disney’s most legendary characters will be immersed in Marvel’s mythos. Some of the upcoming covers include the earth-shattering ’90s event “Infinity Gauntlet,” with Butch the Bulldog as Thanos, Mickey as Doctor Strange, Pluto as Quicksilver, Donald Duck as Firelord, Minnie as Captain America, and Goofy as Spider-Man. Another cover features the debut that defined the 2000s in “New Avengers No. 1,” with Daisy Duck as Spider-Woman, Goofy as Iron Man, Mickey as Captain America, Donald Duck as Spider-Man, and Minnie as Wolverine. In the “Invincible Iron Man,” variant, Mickey Mouse takes on the role of the famous Tony Stark.
Marvel fans can look forward to 12 new covers in total, with a variant hitting stands every month of this year at local comic book shops. The covers are also available in black-and-white versions. They will be found on select upcoming issues of Amazing Spider-Man, starting with “Amazing Spider-Man No. 17” on Jan. 11.
