Marvel Puts Comics from Disney+ Hero Project on Marvel Unlimited

Looking for something new to read while the comic industry is shut down? Marvel may not be putting out any new comics next week, but that hasn't stopped the publisher from satisfying its penchant for number one issues. Marvel's Hero Project is a show available to binge on Disney+ where Marvel celebrates young people who are heroes in their own communities by affecting positive change. In addition to highlighting these contributions to society, the gimmick of the show is that each person gets their own comic, which, naturally, is a number one issue even if there's never going to be a number two.

From a who's who of industry talent, Marvel has lined up twenty of these comics and made them all available on Marvel Unlimited, their binge-reading subscription service that you can sign up for ten bucks a month. In addition to these twenty new comics solicited below, you also get access to over 25,000 comics from Marvel's back catalog, which is actually a pretty sweet deal.
