  • Marvel Pays Tributes To Classic Hip-Hop Albums In A Creative Way

    What better way to celebrate classic albums than having them immortalized through Marvel?

    This October, Marvel will be releasing at least 50 comics with covers paying tribute to some of hip hop's greatest and influential albums.

    "For years, Marvel Comics and hip-hop culture have been engaged in an ongoing dialog,” according to the superhero-yarn giants' Axel Alonso, who claims the series will "shine a spotlight on the seamless relationship between those two unique forces."

    Below are just a few samples of what to expect this Fall.
