Women of Marvel is a limited Comic Anthology celebrating Women’s History Month because Marvel does have Amazing Heroines. There won’t be a Men with Boobs trope on this Anthology because this comic compilation will exclusively feature female writers and illustrators. Of course, some men can write female characters powerfully, but there is a more authentic feel when women write female characters.
