I love comics. I love Marvel Comics. I love music. I love Hip-Hop. Well Marvel has taken these things I love and mashed them together for a special blend of superheroes and music. For each of their new #1 issues following the Secret Wars Event, Marvel has released a variant cover based on a hip-hop album covers from past and present. I saw that they were doing this and had to get in. I did not get all of them, but here are a few that I have gotten that I am pleased to share.
Doctor Strange #1 – Cover based on The Chronic by Dr. Dre
The Astonishing Ant-Man #1 – Cover based on Ready to Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
The Invincible Iron Man #1 – Cover based on Get Rich or Die Tryin by 50 Cent
Amazing Spider-Man #1 – Cover based on Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest
Spider-Gwen #1 – Cover based on The Great Adventures of Slick Rick by Slick Rick
Contest of Champions #1 – Cover based on Liquid Swords by GZA
