New Anthologies, New Characters
As you know if you have been closely following our comic book coverage here at Marvel Blog, one of the most exciting things about the Marvel Comics anthology books is that they sometimes serve as the introduction for brand-new characters who go on to have some very expansive adventures in the wider 616 (and beyond)!

While that can sometimes be unexpected, we already know that we’ll be meeting a brand-new hero in Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1, thanks to an early report from Marvel!
Who Is Somnus?
Somnus is a brand-new character who was created by writer Steve Orlando and artist Luciano Vecchio. In his story in the Marvel’s Voices: Pride #1 anthology, written by Orlando, the art will be executed by Claudia Aguierre, an Eisner-nominated artist who is making her Marvel Comics debut with this story.
