Karla Pacheco states "Marvel Voices has been an amazing force in comics, letting creators from so many backgrounds bring our heritage and identities to Marvel stories. I'm honored to bring this very personal story from my own childhood to the book through Robbie Reyes." Daniel José Older added "This is such an excellent project, and I'm very happy to get to be part of it. I've read all the Marvel's Voices collections and loved them, so it's great to be able to write for one! ¡Pa'lante!" Co-editor Lauren Amaro states "Marvel Voices is such a unique project that I feel really drills down on the core Marvel tenet of reflecting the world outside your window–so when the opportunity came to help put together Marvel Voices: Comunidades and celebrate the Latinx community, I couldn't have been more excited. And that excitement only continues to grow as story pitches continue to roll in–trust me, you're not going to want to miss out on what this talented group of creators have got cooking up!"
