Marvel is gearing up for another exciting release with the upcoming Marvel Swimsuit Special comic book, set to hit the stands on July 9. Titled Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes, and Rivals #1, this issue promises a delightful break for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, showcasing them in a more relaxed setting. But what's got fans buzzing is the tease of new swimsuit designs for Marvel Rivals, NetEase Games' popular hero shooter.

The comic, described as a "super-sized special," features Roxxon Comics releasing their unauthorized swimsuit special, which prompts Wasp to organize a global swimwear fashion shoot for Marvel's heroes. The special not only offers stunning artwork but also includes a story, catering to those who enjoy a good read alongside the visuals.
While Marvel has been somewhat secretive about the specifics of these summer designs, such as launch dates and which characters will be featured, the tie-in with Marvel Rivals suggests that fans might soon see these skins in the game. The anticipation for these summer cosmetics has been building since Marvel Rivals launched in December, quickly becoming a favorite among multiplayer enthusiasts on both PC and consoles.
For those wondering when these swimsuits might make their way into Marvel Rivals, clues point towards the upcoming Season 3, expected around July or August. This timing aligns well with NetEase's planned schedule and allows fans to enjoy these new outfits before summer ends. Alongside the new season, NetEase is introducing shorter, two-month seasons, ensuring a steady stream of new content, including at least one new playable hero each month.
