Wiccan and Hulkling Face Ultron in New Marvel's Voices Pride One-Shot
Marvel celebrates Pride Month with Wiccan & Hulkling: Raid of Ultron #1, a star-studded one-shot landing May 27. The special features stories by Wyatt Kennedy, Josh Trujillo, Luciano Vecchio, and musician Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara.
Marvel Comics is celebrating Pride Month with one of its most iconic super hero families in WICCAN & HULKLING: RAID OF ULTRON #1, an all-new Marvel's Voices one-shot landing in comic shops May 27.
The special spotlights fan-favorite couple Wiccan and Hulkling alongside their complicated, loving family—including Scarlet Witch, Vision, Speed, and Viv Vision. The anthology brings together an impressive roster of LGBTQIA+ and rising talent, with contributions from Wyatt Kennedy, Josh Trujillo, Marvel Stormbreaker Luciano Vecchio, Zoe Tunnell, Rachael Stott, and musician Tegan Quin of the Grammy-nominated pop duo Tegan and Sara.
A Family Anniversary Crashed by Ultron
The framing story by Wyatt Kennedy (Wiccan: Witches' Road) and artist Stephen Byrne (What If…? Galactus) picks up where Wiccan: Witches' Road left off. Wiccan and Hulkling host an epic anniversary party at their new home, only for a megalomaniacal robot to crash the festivities when an Ultron army attacks looking for a family reunion of its own.
Tegan Quin teams with Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men) for an introspective Wiccan and Speed team-up in which the twins clash about their separate journeys while battling Ultron. Zoe Tunnell (Marvel United: A Pride Special) and Rachael Stott (Fantastic Four) pair Hulkling with his alternate-universe half-sister Phyla-Vell to defeat Ultron's forces. And Josh Trujillo (Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four) joins Marvel newcomer Bradley Clayton for a tender Vision and Viv Vision father-daughter story about synthezoid identity.
"As a twin myself, I truly can't think of two characters in the Marvel Universe I would have been more excited to write than Wiccan and Speed. Making my Marvel debut with this story isn't just a thrill, it feels downright magical," Tegan Quin shared.
