Newsarama.com: " David Gabriel (Marvel Comics’ Senior Vice President of Sales) and Diamond spoke about Marvel Women, a year-long "program" that launches in March 2010 – which is Women's History Month here in the U.S. – and kicks off with some one-shots featuring female characters that don’t necessarily have their own titles right now.
"This won’t be another She-Hulk one-shot or Ms. Marvel one-shot. We’ll see some other, large female characters we haven’t heard much from recently," explained Gabriel. "Along with that program, we’re going to announce a new Young Guns promoting female artists throughout the year, and we’ll be doing a Write Stuff as well. Whereas in the past we picked four of our best male writers, this time we’ll be picking four or five female writers and promoting them throughout the year."
Also as part of the program, according to the Senior VP, there will be one variant cover a month by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic, who is the wife of Marko Djurdjevic, who did Marvel's "70th Anniversary" variant covers this year. The first of these is January's Invisible Woman Fantastic Four #575 variant and will be followed in February by a Mohawk Storm cover.
Later in the year fans can expect an omnibus with runs of part Marvel titles like Night Nurse, Hellcat and "some other things you really wouldn’t collect anywhere else.
