In case you didn't know it, March 1 marks the beginning of Women's History Month. And in honor of that, Marvel Comics plans on releasing new issues of comic books with covers that feature their women superheroes, along with art drawn by 20 female artists.

A variety of Marvel's March titles will feature these variant covers, including Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Black Widow, Deadpool, New Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Ms. Marvel.

"2014 was a huge year for Women of Marvel, both in our comics and behind the scenes," said Axel Alonso, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, in a press release . "Marvel now has more titles starring female leads than ever before, the Women of Marvel panel is one of the most highly attended at conventions, and the weekly Women of Marvel podcast continues to grow."
