Marvel Comics has contributed more art to their series of “marvelized” cover art. The latest drop features Schoolboy Q, Action Bronson, Tyler, The Creator and more.
“You know the deal,” Mass Appeal reports in the exclusive unveiling. “Marvel has an ill, ongoing series of variant covers that pay tribute to great hip hop albums.”
Schoolboy Q’s Blank Face LP was remade into Doctor Strange and The Sorcerers Supreme. Doctor Strange will have a title role in an upcoming November film and will be played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Insane Clown Posse’s The Great Milenko was transfomed into Foolkiller. The cover art was designed by Jeffrey Veregge.
Action Bronson & Alchemist’s Rare Chandeliers became the inspiration for “Solo aka James Bourne produced by Omega Strike.” Solo is a counter-terrorism operative in the Marvel Universe.
The unheralded Great Lakes Avengers took the form of MC Lyte’s Lyte as a Rock, in an issue called “Great as a Lake.” The Great Lakes Avengers are a band of heroes led by Mr. Immortal.
Tyler, The Creator’s Goblin morphed into Rocket Raccoon. Rocket is a featured member of “The Guardians Of The Galaxy.” Guardians which debuted in 2014 was a box office smash piloted by Chris Pratt. The film made over $770 million upon its release, which prompted Marvel to green light a sequel, set to debut in 2017.
Previous installments of the series have included LL Cool J as Luke Cage, Kevin Gates as Jessica Jones, Chance the Rapper as Nova and Wu-Tang as Champions.

I stopped reading comics eons ago so who is the big chick on that Avengers comic? Blob?
Big Bertha
Big Bertha. Pretty much the female version of Blob.
That’s pretty cool, but how did you mix the goblin album cover up with the alternate one? Thats just lazy. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7a/Goblincover.jpg/220px-Goblincover.jpg
Wow. That’s harsh.
A legitimate call out, and you get upset.
DX, please keep your interns off the comments section, they’re not doing your brand any favours.
p.s GRATEFUL? – You should be careful with your words to people visiting your site, one day you won’t have any to rant at.
You used the wrong cover for the rocket one
