Marvel Superheroes as hip-hop album covers

 

Even your Marvel superheroes have to chill out, too.

 

And that's exactly what they'll do starting October, when Marvel releases variant covers that pay homage to hip-hop.

 

"For years, Marvel Comics and Hip-Hop culture have been engaged in an ongoing dialog... Beginning this October, we will shine a spotlight on the seamless relationship between those two unique forces," Buzzfeed.com quoted Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso as saying.

 

The variant covers include:

 

- Spider-Man and Deadpool

- The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

- Squadron Supreme

- Amazing Spider-Man

- Ant-Man

Tech Times said other covers include:

 

- Howard The Duck getting the Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version

- Invincible Iron Man getting artwork similar to 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin'

- Ms. Marvel getting artwork like that of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album by Lauryn Hill.

 

A separate report on The Verge said the move came after Marvel rebooted its entire comics line after the end of Secret Wars. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
