5,000 Print copies are released to purchase on Eminem.com, while an additional 1,000 limited print run of the spotlight version of the original variant comic cover will be available for purchase on TheHaul.com starting Tuesday, November 29.
“I’ve always been a huge Spider-Man fan since I was a kid,” said Eminem. “He’s definitely in my top 5… So being on a cover battling Spider-Man is such a thrill and an honor.”
“It’s truly an honor to be able to bring Eminem and Spider-Man to fans slinging raps on this official Marvel variant cover. There is no doubt that fans lucky enough to find themselves holding one of these will possess a highly sought-after collectible,” added Keri Harris, hustl. COO.
Not Only Rap But The Sketching Skills of Eminem Are Also Incredible
According to Paul Rosenberg, the concept came from The Haul, an agency that combines the worlds of comics with real-life pop culture. For example, they recruited The Notorious B.I.G. to the Deadpool cover and football player Saquon Barkley to the Black Panther cover. Marshall, according to Paul, was not hesitant to agree.
This is not the first time Eminem collaborated with Marvel. The Detroit rapper previously featured in The Punisher’s comic book in 2009, and with Iron Man in 2013 as part of “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” promo run.
