What do you guys think of these Marvel Hip Hop variant covers? Pretty rad right?
Below enjoy seeing some of your favorite hero and heroines paying homage to some sick hip hop albums. From Biggie, Wu-Tang Clan, Dr. Dre, Eric B. and Rakim to Lauryn Hill and more to come.
If you keep an eye out for all-new #1's from Marvel Comics coming this fall, you may get the chance to purchase your own Marvel Comics variant cover featuring some of your favorite Marvel characters paying homage to some of the dopest artist from the past few years. Some are no longer with us such as Biggie and ODB, but their music lives on in our hearts and memories... now with a little help from Marvel too.
"For years, Marvel Comics and Hip-Hop culture have been engaged in an ongoing dialog," says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. "Beginning this October, we will shine a spotlight on the seamless relationship between those two unique forces in when we unveil the first of more than fifty variant covers, each of which pays tribute to an iconic album cover from the past 30 years that shaped pop-culture over the past three decades."
