Last year, UDON and WayForward surprised fans with Shantae Swimsuit Special 2024 #1. Many likely assumed that it might a one-off collaboration, but it turns out that it was the start of a potential new annual tradition. Starting in September, Shantae Swimsuit Special 2025 #1 will hit comic book shops. Let’s take a look at the covers:
✨The 2025 #shantae Swimsuit Special #1 pre-orders are NOW AVAILABLE!✨ Friends Rottytops and Sky, and baddies like Risky Boots and Nega-Shantae all appear alongside the belly-dancing, half-genie hero herself! This pin-up art special also includes a bonus 5-page full color… pic.twitter.com/bXv45wkSrE
