Marvel Rivals to Introduce Swimsuit Skins as Iconic Comic Series Makes a Comeback

After three decades, Marvel Comics is making a comeback with special comic editions featuring superheroes in swimwear. The issue titled Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, & Rivals is set to launch on July 9. However, gamers might find it more intriguing that the outfits from this edition will appear in Marvel Rivals.

Details on which heroes will be receiving more risque skins are currently under wraps. There is also no word on when a themed update for Marvel Rivals will be released. Given the comic’s launch timing, it seems fans may need to wait until summer.

The Marvel Swimsuit Special series was published in the 1990s, generally featuring straightforward narratives aimed not at storytelling but at showcasing men and women from the Marvel universe relaxing on beaches. Additionally, these issues included standalone artwork of characters in bikinis and swim trunks.

The forthcoming issue centers around the Wasp, who plans to organize a model photoshoot for superheroes in swimsuits around the globe.

Last week, the second season of Marvel Rivals kicked off. The new character Emma Frost is already available in the roster, with Ultron joining her later.
