Eric B. & Rakim Meet Spiderman As Marvel Mashes Up Hip-Hop & Super Heroes

From Tony Starks to MF DOOM, CZARFACE to Dr. Dooom, Hip-Hop and comics have a long history together. Marvel, a 75-year publisher of some of the world’s most beloved titles (Spiderman, Hulk, Captain America, X-Men, The Fanatastic Four, etc.) knows this. That’s why, beginning this October, they will be releasing “Hip-Hop Variants,” blending some classic Hip-Hop titles with iconic comic characters.

UpRoxx, ComicBook.com, and Reddit got the early scoop in the form of samples, with some of AFH’s favorites shared below:

Ms. Marvel x Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
