Marvel Releasing Free Comic Book Compiling Hip-Hop Variant Covers

Over the past few months, Marvel Comics have been paying homage to hip-hop through a series of variant covers inspired by beloved albums from Run the Jewels, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, De La Soul, DOOM, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Tyler the Creator, Jay Z, Missy Elliott, 2Pac, Eminem, and many, many more.

Today, the company has announced a free, 32-page book featuring reprints of 14 of these covers, the New York Times reports. “The hip-hop variants were a really special initiative that caught fire in the outside world,” Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso told the Times. “We thought this was a great opportunity to highlight that and make it available to fans for free.” The comic will be available in participating stores January 6.
