Marvel Comics has got the covers of some of their coming instalments in a number of hip-hop’s variant covers.
The comic franchise recently unveiled the newest editions, drawing inspiration from music stars Missy Elliott, Dr. Dre, Nas and others.
In one of the variant covers, Spider-Man channels Nas’ 2012 Life Is Good album. While the poses are similar, Spider-Man’s title reads, ‘Renew Your Vows’. In the second variant cover, Black Panther visits Dr. Dre’s 2015 Compton album.

Iron Fist tackles EPMD’s Back In Business; and Venom brings Prodigy and Alchemist’s 2013 project Albert Einstein back to life.
